Cute, simple.
Stayed in one of the little cabins. It worked great for us. Out in the country, very relaxing. Free coffee in the mornings. We weren't big fans of what we ate in the restaurant. I'd recommend eating in town.

A good honest farmhouse in the fields (15min drive from Selfoss) with a nice restaurant on the premises. The rooms are a bit small and the pictures are well manicured.

Cute little stay!
The Vatnsholt guest house was perfect! It was such a great place to stay after doing the golden circle and wanting to head out to Vik the next day to explore and see the waterfalls. Yes, it is true, it is small, but I don't think you need much else. Its the cutest little thing with a beautiful view. Comfy and cozy bed, clean bathroom, slippers, towels, and linens provided. I recommend this to anyone / 2 people looking for a place to stay the night. We skipped the breakfast but I'm sure its good! the staff was also very nice. :)

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Clean, quiet, warm, tea/coffee/juice/water available till 23:00, friendly and helpful staff, good value for money. There's a table/chair in the room. With two single beds located in two different corners of the room, only one had access to a socket (no use of the little lamp near the bed, no chance to charge your phone near the bed). The reception and common area with tea and coffee are in a different building than the rooms. So I would really appreciate a kettle and mugs in a room or at least in the buildings where the rooms are. This would make sense when you arrive after 23:00 or when the weather's terrible.

The double room booked was very small and misleading from the pictures, it felt like a small cabin. The room booking stated a queen sized bed, however I got two small beds pushed together. The bathroom facilities were not great. I would not stay here again
