Places to stay in Kirkjubæjarklaustur

What a wonderful place and in the perfect location for exploring the Golden Circle. The house was plenty big for the eight adults in our group, and we were all able to spread out, but also come together for meals and games. Although we didn’t use it, the hot tub was a great amenity. Our host was wonderful and very responsive when I contacted her with a question before booking and also when I needed to turn off the security system. We would highly recommend staying here.

The cabin was thoughtfully decorated. Also, a private and peaceful place close to bigger town and outdoor attractions.

Very peaceful & private location, Loved the smooth check in & communication. Exactly what I needed for this trip. Highly recommended

Amazing views, very private secluded quiet location. Overall would stay here again, would recommend to remove the photos of a pull out couch as there is no pull out couch to sleep on, unfortunately was not able to get in touch with the host while I was there, and lastly the light outside was incredibly bright which takes away from the overall peacefulness of the place at night. However, the cabin was cozy and had everything needed for our stay and the location was convenient for exploring Vik and the surrounding areas for hikes. Was able to sit on the porch for coffee and bird watch in the field out front.

Ce logement était de loin notre meilleur sur l’Islande ( nous en avons fait 3) . Paisible, tranquille , parfaitement équipée, « comme chez nous ». C’est une maison familiale et ça se ressent tellement. Tb équipée! Literie au top, il fait chaud même sans chauffer. Le jacuzzi sur la terrasse rajoute la touche de perfection au voyage. ( encore + quand on a la chance de voir les aurores boréales) Vraiment je recommande et si nous retournons en Islande nous hésiterons pas 1 sec pour prendre de nouveau ce logement! Hôte très réactive et n’oubliez pas de regarder l’e-mail d’information qu’elle nous envoie en arrivant cela aide à trouver le logement! Aucun point négatif

This was the perfect place for our group of two moms and two teen daughters. It was within an hour of Reykjavik and key Golden Circle sites, and was easy access to Highway 1 that took us to the Southern part of the country to experience its dramatic features (our favorite part). Nearby Sellfoss offered the cheapest gas we found and lower prices at grocery stores than in Reykjavik. We had amazing views of the Northern Lights every night we stayed up late enough to see them due to the wide open views from the cabin and relative low light in the valley. The hosts were AMAZING, offering tips, keeping us informed about the area, and even dropping us a quick note when they'd heard through local reports that there would be a particularly great aurora display that night. We also loved the relative privacy and open space around the cabin. I almost hesitate to go on as we plan to return one day and I hope the place isn't booked solid!

We had a wonderful stay. The house is secluded and very peaceful but also a short drive to the nearest town with everything you need. It is warm and clean with the hot tube an extra bonus!

The barn house was beautifully built and decorated with spectacular views. The skylight windows were perfect for watching for the northern lights. The kitchen had all the basics and some extras like a nespresso machine and pods. We enjoyed cooking there and using the hot tub. The washer and dryer were super helpful. It was a great launching place for the Golden Circle. Stokkseyri is a cute little town with a great local pool. The turf house across the street was fun to explore as was the beach on the other side of the turf wall. It is very near Bakkahestar for highly recommended Icelandic horse rides with a local couple on the beach in Eyrarbakki. Nearby Selfoss has anything you need including an amazing fish market Fiskbud Suderlands for great prices on fresh caught local fish. Kristinn was very responsive and we loved our stay!
