Set in Seyðisfjörður, 3.7 km from Gufufoss, Dúlluhús - Apartments by Aldan has ski-to-door access, private parking and rooms with free WiFi access. The property has mountain and lake views. The apartment features parking on-site, a fitness room and a housekeeping service. The location was lovely - very gorgeous wee town, and a spectacular drive into the valley. The area around the apartment felt very safe, and, had it not been pouring with rain, would have been lovely to walk around. The old school house was beautifully appointed, super clean, and was a really good size. We appreciated the washing machine. The reception area was in the nearby bar/restaurant which we didn't eat at, but it looked really nice.

Set along the Seydisfjordur Fjord, these cottages are less than 3 km from the town of Seydisfjorudur. Each offers impressive panoramic views and a large terrace with an outdoor hot tub and BBQ.

The 3-bedroom cottages at Langahlid Cottages all have an open-plan room with a well-equipped kitchen and dining area. The living room features a flat-screen TV and DVD player. Loved the little cabin! Sadly, we had very little time to enjoy it. We got to the cabin shortly before midnight and were out on the road by 10 am next morning. Communication from the host was great! Easy key pickup, cabin was clean and VERY well stocked. Probably the best stocked I've seen throughout the trip. Some food items were for sale, and quite up-charge, but great convenience non less. We didn't need them that night, but there were nights earlier on our trip we would greatly benefit from it and gladly paid the premium price.
