Hestasport Cottages

Nice cottage, very clean and cosy. The hot tub was perfect with amazing views. Highly recommended!!

The interior of our cottage was comfortable and full of amenities.  And what really addedto the vibe was the hot tub in the center of the cottages. No luck with the northern lights due to clouds drifting in, but it was a lot of fun anyway.

Very nice clean cabin… Comfortable Bed. Clean bathroom. 5* All The Way

The hot tub was a relaxing way to end the day.

The cottage was charming, spacious and very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was really good, four burners, an oven and cookwear in good condition. Everything was very well organized including a QR code at reception to load directions to the cottage into google maps and another QR code n the cottage to join the internet which was fast and reliable. Highly recommended.

Our stay here was everything we hoped for! Amazing Mountain View’s from private hot springs and lovely cottage! Can’t recommend it enough

Such a beautiful spot to stay. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating! We also did the horeseback ride tour which was so much fun with the most stunning views. I would definitely recommend Hestasport Cottages!

We loved the hot tub in the middle of the cottages. Very nice cabin that came fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, towels, bath robes, and several sizes of crocs to walk to the hot tub in. Spacious and comfortable.

We loved Hestasport Cottages!  The hot tub was very relaxing.  The property was wonderful and it was so nice having our own private cottage after staying in many cramped guesthouses and hotels.

We loved it! Cute cottage and very clean!

Fantastic Cottage

Great place overall it was a comfortable stay. There was one door on the patio that was a little weird to open and close and my family member was able to open it from the outside without unlocking. In terms of the check in I think the sent instructions for check in could be a little bit more clear as to where to go for the reception including a full address or google maps link.

Hestasport cottages was our favorite stay in Iceland! The cottages are adorable, clean, well-stocked, and the beds are comfy. The hot tub is incredibly lovely - they keep it quite hot and clean. 

I cannot more highly recommend this place - we actually changed our trip around to be able to spend another night here. We found it to be so beautiful and quiet, while still very easy to get to.

Great cottages and hot tub

Hestasport cottages are not just a place to stay, it's a whole world of experience. It's a truly magical environment of a few good size traditional wooden cabins nestled on top of a hill above the village with a hot tube in the middle. We rented the biggest one and I highly recommend it for a family especially of you stay for a few days like we did. The cabin was very clean, nicely decorated, high ceilings and full of natural light. We cooked at home every evening and found the kitchen to be very well equipped. Finding the place was very easy. Like they told us, as long as you understand that the reception is not where the cottages are, not a problem at all. Communication with the management was very smooth. We too initially had booked for 2020 but had to cancel due to to covid and they graciously refunded us. Finally we managed to stay and we loved every minute of it. In the area I highly recommend to visit the 1238 The battle of Iceland museum and virtual experience, have a cold one in Retro Mathus in Hofsos, visit the stunning waterfalls of Reykjafoss, Glaumbaer traditional houses etc. We didn't do horse riding but saw a lot of riders and looked like fun. There is also white river rafting nearby. The area is so beautiful, plenty to do and staying in this stunning place is a truly authentic experience. 

Wonderful experience, would happily return 

The cottage was absolutely delightful. The setting was serene and beautiful. The hot tub was a great way to come back and relax after a day of adventure. The owners and staff we met were so friendly and I cannot speak more highly of Hestasport. Would definitely go back and recommend anyone in the area pay them a visit!

Beautiful cottages in the Icelandic countryside

We had initially had reservations in 2020 but had to cancel due to Covid.  Hestasport was wonderful in giving us a voucher for a future trip, which we were able to do July 2022.  From the initial making reservations from the USA, changing reservations, arrival and check in, everything was smooth and easy. THE CABINS, THE HORSEBACK RIDING and THE RAFTING....EVERYTHING was incredible.   We were so impressed with the kindness and hospitality of everyone we met exceeded all expectations.  If you don't book Hestasport you are missing out.   Already planning our next stay.

Everything about this place is AMAZING

We stayed there for just one night on our way from Myvatn to Geysir.
Beautiful cottages with an excellent thermal pool in the middle of the place.
Excellent value for the money.
Very friendly staff at the reception.
There is no restaurant for breakfast or dinner available but the local hotel (Vermalhid hotel) ist just a few minutes away and offers an excellent cuisine for dinner and a good breakfast buffet.

GREAT STAY

This is our third time staying at Hestasport Cottages and we were excited to be there again.  We knew we would be arriving late and instructions via email gave us the information we would need as to where to get the key, etc.  The cabin we stayed in was beautiful, clean and comfortable.  We used the hot pot - don't forget to take off any silver jewelry as it will tarnish!  We made tea and coffee in the kitchen and ate some muffins we had purchased for breakfast.  There is limited food options available locally so we made sure to eat before we got there (Akuyeri) and purchased easy breakfast options.  The kitchen does have a microwave, refrigerator, stove, etc.

Third Time - Just as Good!

We stayed at one of the cottages with my wife, son and daughter-in-law.  The property had its own thermal pool which was lovely.  The staff was helpful and knowledgeable, especially with the horses.  We are all novices and had a most enjoyable 90-minute ride on Icelandic horses with a waterfall at the end. Felt safe and relaxed.

When I got back home I wrote to seek information about my trip and they were quick to respond with helpful information.

Everything in one spot

I would highly recommend the cottages- our only regret was not staying longer. The hot tub was big enough that multiple people could be in without feeling crowded. We got to see the northern lights while there, even on a somewhat cloudy night. It was super windy, but the cabin kept us very warm. Beds were comfortable and plenty of space for a group.
