Perfect stay for our ring road trip. Off a dirt road, but much nicer than most other dirt/gravel roads we travelled! Staff was wonderful. Breakfast was delicious-fruit, yogurt, cereal, meats, cheese, breads, etc. Bed was comfortable, no negatives.

The cabin was spacious and clean. The shower was right across from the sink which was a little weird. Overall, it worked ok. Definitely on the rustic side. The staff was friendly and helpful. We ate dinner at their restaurant and got soup, pasta, and bacon burger. It was all delicious. Ate breakfast there in the morning and it was also good and convenient.

Very quiet location. The staff made an effort to make us feel welcome. The surroundings are great too. We were happy that they also offered dinner and breakfast service. Note that the location shown on Expedia is not where the hotel is but it’s rather a 30 min drive from egilstadir. Check Google Maps for the correct location along route 917
