Romantic Hotels in Hlíð í Hörðudal

Our host was exceptional. She was friendly, gave an overview of the area, explained how everything works, worked hard, and always smiled. We enjoyed her sense of humor, and wish her all the best at convincing local officials to see her vision and follow her wisdom.

A real Icelandic house with classic furniture. Fantastic view of the plains below. Three very clean bathrooms. Interesting books in the common room. Overall, it was a positive experience.

- the house is on the shore and you get great views over the fiord (at least the room number 4 was this way) - breakfast is preserved and stored in the room's fridge so you can eat it whenever you want

One of the best houses we stayed in Iceland during our road trip on September 2023. Very clean, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with washing machine. Spacious with comfortable bed. Lastly, it is located in a very quiet location in the nature. One of the best picks in Iceland!

Lovely small hotel by the main road, very friendly staff and delicious food! Rooms were clean, bathroom is nice, with bathrobes and slippers to use for hot tubs, which are located behind the hotel. 2 hot tubs which you can use whenever you like. Small stream on one side and farm animals on the other. Might have to wait a bit to have free spot in the evening. Breakfast was very good, eggs, bacon, freshly baked bread, freshly baked sweets (muffins, waffles...), fruit etc. Coffee with options to add some flavored syrups (never seen this before in a hotel), tea, juice... Restaurant at the hotel for lunch/dinner. Expensive dinner, but worth the money, best lamb we had in Iceland and we tried quite a few. Homegrown animals (fresh meat), view from restaurant on the pond with ducks. We stayed for 2 nights and then drove straight to the airport (1h 40min drive). Did not go sightseeing in vicinity so cannot comment on that. There is volcanic crater to visit 5min away and some hot springs. Definitely recommend staying here!

We were looking forward to this place our whole trip. We had quite high expectations for this place. Our expectations got far exceeded. We could have never expected how perfect this is going to be. The cottage is rustically designed which gives off such a nice and cosy vibe. It is so hard to describe this place. To really get what I mean you would have to stay there for a night. The host has a farm which is located around 800m away from the cottage. As we stayed there in winter everything was packed with snow, you really cant imagine how nice it looked almost like in a Disney movie. The host family is so extremely nice and kind hearted, the felling of being welcomed is overwhelming. You are even able to visit the barn with the owners or without them. There you can cuddle with some nearly born calfs and see how the farm life works. Such a great and authentic experience. When visiting the barn you are also able to visit the barn shop of the family which only opens for you. There you can get so nice things. We did some shopping for our dinner there. The quality of the food is out of this world. You can also get some traditionally Icelandic hoodies for such a great deal. They are locally made and stunning. And when visiting the shop even in winter time, you have to try the ice cream. There they sell the best ice cream you can imagine. I have eaten a lot of great ice cream all over the world already but nothing can come close to this one. Every flavor they offer is more than delicious, but the best ice cream in the world is the salted caramel one. When you try it you wont want any other ice-cream in your life. After dinner we checked out the hot tub in front of the cottage. Due to it being winter it was quite cold and completely dark outside, but the water had such a great temperature. When chilling in there you feel like a king especially with the view you get and due to the low light pollution there you can see the best night sky. Its breathtaking.
