Gunnar and Lilja
The Cat's Cradle is a family run business that offers a brightly decorated studio apartment which is located in central Grundarfjördur. It offers free parking, free Wi-Fi and TV. The apartment has a view towards Kirkjufell, the famous mountain. The swimming pool, restaurants and the grocery store are located nearby and the Golf Club just 8 minutes away. We, the family, live in the main house, and we have a cat called Annabelle. Sometimes she likes to say hello to the guests and could maybe stop by for a visit, but Annabelle is a lady and very well-trained. We are re-decorating the apartment and pictures of it will come in May. We and Annabelle look forward to hosting you.
