Each fresh guest room at Lambastadir Guesthouse offers hardwood floors, a work desk, as well as a private bathroom with shower.

Wonderful hospitality and very nice breakfast buffet, including make your own waffles. The beds were very comfortable. I also really enjoyed the authentic barrel sauna every evening, as well as the hot tub/ jacuzzi. The place was spotless and peaceful out in nature. The hosts clearly care about their guests having a good experience. Also appreciated the thoughtful touch of a handbook containing various scenic destinations in the region. Thank you so much!!
