Family hotels and homes in Hlíð í Hörðudal

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.

We loved our stay in Seljaland! The guesthouses are located in a stunning serene area among beautiful mountains. We stayed in a 9m² house that has two comfy beds with warm blankets, a microwave and some storage. The bathroom, wc and kitchen are in another building. The hosts sent us detailed information about the property so we knew exactly what we were getting. They also sent us a detailed route description, which was very helpful. There are no grocery stores in close proximity, but there is a small restaurant in Seljaland, and the food is super nice! Both the dinner and the breakfast were delightful. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the baked cod for dinner, and Níels was also kind enough to cook a delicious vegetarian meal for me. We wholeheartedly recommend this place and would love to come back again! Thank you Níels and Ragnheiður!

- 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

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!

Great location, close to many beautiful sites Also, they serve a delicious breakfast every morning.
