Ásólfsskáli Cottage

The cottages are lovely and well taken care of.  They are a little piece of heaven.  I only wish we had booked for longer.  The hot tub was an amazing perk that we used everyday. The kitchen was well equipped and the decor was lovely.  This was certainly the highlight of our trip.

We had an excellent stay at Ásólfsskáli Cottage! The cottage is clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. It’s in a beautiful location on a farm by the mountains, with stunning views and great hiking nearby.Katrin, the owner, provided outstanding service. We lost a SIM card from our drone, which had all our Iceland memories, and she found it in a vacuum bag! We’re so grateful for her kindness and extra effort.We would love to come back and highly recommend this place!

We were greeted at the gate by the sheep and they led us to our cabin. So much fun. The hike to the gorge was amazing. We also got to play fetch with the farm dogs. The cabin was comfortable and clean. The hosts are extremely kind.

What a fantastic location! Near to small restaurants, 30 mins drive to Vik. Wonderful scenery. Make sure to hike behind the cottage and see the gorge.Lots of sleeping space 2 bedrooms and the loft upstairs.Loved it.

We loved this beautiful cottage and the idyllic surroundings. The hot tub was an added bonus after long days of exploring. Everything about this stay was perfect.

Very easy to work with.  Property was clean and plenty of room for our four.  Amazing location with stream nearby and hiking to waterfall. Loved staying here.

Great lodging run by kind and helpful people.  We will come back.

We stayed with our 3 boys here. Great stop during our South Coast trip. Great kitchen. We shopped at Vik before we checked in. Nice area for the boys to play and they had the BEST dogs that played ball, watched over us and made us laugh! One even watched over our youngest in the geothermal hot tub at the cottage. Great spot! We would stay again. Very nice hosts!

The cottage is very nice and the setting is incredible.  Behind the cottage is a stream and a trail that offers utterly stunning beauty from the first steps.  We used the hot tub, which is a very nice extra.  This was our favorite stay in Iceland and I would probably have given a 5 star review even if the cottage was mediocre because the area and the property / surroundings warrant it.    But the cottage is very well appointed if you want to cook dinner and stay in.  It's excellent overall. We went to Anna's restaurant next door and had world class lamb chops.  I would highly recommend this cottage.  A small area of improvement would be better beds.  In our cottage there was no queen as listed.  We found one room with a double and one with a double under a bunk.  I can say the double below the bunk is a very uncomfortable mattress (not really a mattress at all).  Having a tall person in our party of three complicated sleeping.  We have stayed at smaller rustic cabins with much better bedrooms.   The other double bed is great so if you are a party of two you will be fine.

Great experience!!  Wonderful people.  We loved Mosi.

The Asolfsskali Cottage is just off the ring road in a beautiful Iceland farm. This is a family rental, which I did not appreciate until I asked for late check in. The hosts graciously let me check in late without a second thought, but had I known it was a family run vacation rental I would've made additional arrangements to show up within the stated check in hours! I stayed in the summer, there are black out blinds, a kitchen, loft, and two bedrooms. I was woken by some cows mooing, which I consider a bonus! I showed up too late to enjoy the hot tub, but I enjoyed reading the cottage book to learn more about its history and the family. Would love to stay here again in the future.

The previous reviews nail all the shortcomeings pretty well. But none of it mattered to us. After a long day hiking the glacier, this chjarming cottage was perfect. Yes, the rooms are cramped. But it didn't matter. We were there to sleep. We used the hot tub, which definitely needs you to add cold water when filling. The family dog adopted us for our stay. The hike behid the cottage is a trat, and if you are adventurous, you will find the waterfall back there too! Highly recommended with a large group.

Idyllic spot for abg group

We loved this private cottage on a family dairy farm, after a long day of touring the Golden Circle.  The location was outstanding -- nestled at the mouth of a gorge where you could hike across a bridge and up a small climb (maybe 10 minutes) for glorious views of the ocean, the Westman Islands, and surrounding mountains.  The private hot tub was a wonderful treat, and the owner was very responsive to emails -- offered to fill the tub for us so it would be warm when we arrived, and gave my husband tips on where to go running in the morning.

The beds were comfortable but basic -- the double bed is wedged against the wall so if you share, one person has to climb over the other to get out, and the bunk room has a double bed below and a single above.  We had a small miscommunication in that we were traveling with our teen children (boy and girl), but only the bottom (double) bed of the bunk was made up and there were no sheets in the house to make another bed ourselves.  We asked the host for sheets and she gave us a single flat sheet.  My daughter crashed in the loft with the sheet, the mattresses on the floor, and a blanket she'd brought, and was perfectly happy to have her own room, but if you want something different be sure to specify how many beds need to be made up for your arrival.  This was a very minor issue that ended up being no problem because of my daughter's flexibility, but if you're traveling with adults just let them know by email what you want.  Overall, we really recommend this place.

Charming hideaway

We very much enjoyed our stay.

The hostess was really friendly! The cottage was located in a farm with cowshed so we went to her in the morning and wondering if we could buy some fresh milk. She invited us to her house and gave us cups of milk and also pie to try for free. We were told that the cottages was built by her father who lives in another house in this farm. Both of her dogs are really friendly, especially the older one who was always asking as to pet him. We were also told that the farm next door belongs to her brother and they do have horses for ride. We did end up going there and had lots of fun there too.

The cottage itself is very cool looking and have space for at least 6 people. The kitchen was fulled equipped so we did cook our own dinner. It was raining out side so we didn't end up using the hot tub but there was a instruction in the cottage clearly stating how to use it. They are also doing milking in the morning from around 6:30 to 8 and open for visit, we went a bit late but it was still a very cool experience for us.

There was also a small white church with red roof on site, like the ones you could always see in the picture. Very interesting to look at and good for pictures.

Couple things that made me reduce 1 star from the review:

- The shower water temperature is very unstable, It would move from "very hot" to "freezing cold" in a 10 sec period and never stays there no matter how you adjust it, which made it very hard to take a good shower.

- The twin bed in one of rooms on the first floor was very soft with no back support at all. Two of my friends chose to sleep on the floor of the attic in stead. I chose not to, but my back did hurts after one night sleep.
