Hofsstaðir Sveitasetur Guesthouse

Hofsstaðir Country Hotel can be found in a quiet location on the banks of Héraðsvötn, overlooking the fjord and the sea. This family-run hotel offers rooms with private entrances, wooden floors and flatscreen TVs. Relax on your patio with a cup of coffee and take in the panoramic views of Skagafjördur Fjord. The hotel’s summer restaurant uses local, seasonal produce from their farm and the nearby region. Homemade bread and jam are served at breakfast. Explore the pretty walking trails in the vicinity of the guesthouse. In winter, the northern lights dance across the night sky. The hotel makes a good base to explore the surrounding region. The 18th-century Hólar Cathedral and Icelandic Horse History Center are around 20 minutes away, as are the geothermal swimming pools in Hofsós and Varmahlíd. There are a number of golf courses in the region as well.
