Áskot Cottages

"This place is something special. It allows you to feel the real vibe of the outbacks. Amazing to spot northern lights during winter, the idea of creating a dedicated little shop, provided by the owners, is something important considering that the first town (Hella, which is really small) is about 20 minutes driving away. The accommodation is cozy, welcoming, well kept and organized. It’s clear that Greta and Steinar put their own inside this project, with a enthusiasm and passion. Their horse ranch is right beside the cottages and they are cool in let you take a look of their work, by asking them in advance. Washing machine and dishwasher were really appreciated. We definitely enjoyed our time there!"

"Maybe a little wardrobe would be recommended as well as a splitted hob (now there’s only one fire)."

"clean , cozy , horses , wild open space , northern lights , everything u needed is in the little cabin ."

"If u seeking activity to stay busy , maybe u have to drive 1.5 hours to many directions, but if u seeking a getaway just breathe , u in a right place . Eating out would be a challenge if u don’t plan to cook . If that is a way to turn off the outside light would make the norther light more visible."

"Spacious, well equipped and beautifully designed cottages. Everything is so well thought through you lack for nothing - even little things like olive oil, cotton earbuds, drying rack are provided - and there’s an external mini shop with food and beverages in a pinch. We cooked four meals here and had no difficulty whatsoever. Beds are comfortable and the table comfortably seats four for meals. View is gorgeous (even if not north facing as we hoped) and can be enjoyed from anywhere in the cabin. Greta was a great help when our luggage was lost by Iceland Air as well. Overall probably the best of the many self catered accommodations we’ve stayed at! If we return to Iceland we will stay here without a doubt. Highly recommended!"

"There aren’t many decent restaurants nearby so plan to cook meals at home unless you like pizza / burgers."

"Everything is perfect in the cabin. We love this accommodation the most. Best view and all Facilities provided. Only down moment is we are unable to view the horses. Perfect for star gazing at Night."

"Nothing. Everything is perfect."

"The cottage overlooked a beautiful farm and field with floor to ceiling windows and one of the most beautiful sunrises. The cottage itself was comfortable, well equipped and cosy. We wished we could stay longer!"

"Nothing, everything was perfect."

"Clean and modern, had everything you need for a one night stay."

"Aucun."

"Everything! All facilities, view, location, staff were so kind and helpful. Wish we had stayed for longer!"

"Nothing! Perfect :)"

"Very well designed, everything u need is right by your side. Spotlessly clean. The host gave us a tour of the stable too. Highly recommend."

"Perhaps consider having a cooking hood, for the long term maintenance of the cottage."

"We had a perfect stay at Áskot. The cottage had a smart and beautiful design. The look out of the window was stunning. They even had a mini market for the most needed groceries on the premises. Greta and Einar also invited us to see their horses and the way they train them in their indoor pool. Lovely hosts with passion for nature."

"Nothing (we hoped to see the Aurora, but nature has it's own plans)"

"Very nicely decorated and equipped cottage Thoughtfully designed and nice extra touches like the little shop Easy to cook a meal on the hob Having the horses nearby was a bonus Would highly recommend!"
