    the cottage is too small.. there's no salt/pepper/coffee in the kitchen. low lighting in the cottage.

    We liked the surrounding its calm and beautiful many horses around.. The host brought us salt immediately after we asked him if he has.

    Minimal window treatments, this seems to be a common theme in holiday accommodation. Struggled with the roller blind on front door when leaving for the day. Previous damage to the blind indicated we were not the only ones.

    Quaint tiny house. Plenty of kitchen supplies to cook meals. Comfortable temperature control. Comfortable beds although not big enough for two adults on lower bunk. Did utilise the fold out bed to allow one bed per adult. Loved to outlook to the sea, mountains, waterfalls and paddocks with horses and sheep.

    The bathroom is quite small, there is no shower floor and it all got wet.

    Very nice little cottage in a very beautiful landscape. We could see horses right next to the camping site, by the river.

    The only downside was the bottom bunk was small for 2 people. We are in our 70's so couldn't climb to a top bunk. We enjoyed our stay here despite the small bottom bunk. A "neighbor" asked if we had any salt in our kitchen. We didn't so maybe a few basics provided in the kitchen area would be nice.

    This cabin was a wonderful, quiet place to stay. I enjoyed the nature right outside and took photos of local birds and horses.

    The shower water has a bit of sulfuric smell Wifi can be a bit unstable and therefore Chromecast did not work well

    Very quiet place, all you need is available, a bit tiny with 4 people I guess but with the 2 of us it was perfect We were in summertime and did not need heating Super nice restaurant very close by (sjavarborg)

    The bathroom is too small and when you take a shower all the floor is wet. The bin tap in the bathroom was broken. I’m not sure the floor was clean enough, so we preferred to were our crocks inside

    It is a small wooden cabin close to the village. The location is perfect and you can hike around, visit the village or just relax at the porch

    Our house has a bunk bed that should be able to accommodate 3 but there are only 2 pillows. The microwave dish has some sticky left over food.

    Cozy little place with basic kitchen appliance (microwave, kettle, toaster) and utensils

    The shower area is very small, and it's a waste that we can't drive the car right up to the main door despite all that space between the units.

    For a unit that small, a lot of appliances is packed inside - refrigerator, toaster, boiler, coffee maker, microwave, cups, plates, glasses, even a hotplate. Clever use of space.

    Double bed is small and against the wall on both sides, couldn’t move well, so the sleep wasn’t great.

    Room as expected, although bed and bathroom a bit too small. Good location.

    The price practically corresponds to the quality. The cabin was tight for four adults. The bathroom shows great signs of wear and tear. The sofa bed is already worn out, I literally slept in a hole. This is sufficient for one night, for more nights I would look for another accommodation. But I definitely can't say that anything was downright wrong. The kitchen was practically and tastefully furnished! We chose this accommodation because of the seals that are nearby. We had no idea that it would be part of the campsite, so the road would be closed. I recommend checking the campsite's website before visiting the seals to see if it is open. The surroundings of the accommodation are beautiful. Within two hours we were met with rain, snow and sun :-)

    Wish coffee was provided. Would have been a nice touch. The Wifi was not great and kept losing connection. Also very tiny shower so if you are a bigger person, might be a mess. lol Price was kind of high since we stayed in entire apartments with more space for less.

    The cottages were cute and in a great scenic location! Easy instructions and easy to find. It is like staying in a tiny home and they utilize the space well. Unique experience! Nice for one night before going around the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.
