We spent 8 full days at this Beautiful cabin. The location is stunning, the hot tub is incredible after a long day, and the house is decorated beautifully. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed coming back to the cabin each day after exploring beautiful Iceland.

We had a wonderful time staying at the cottage. It gave us an opportunity to explore Iceland and we made many new memories. The cottage is close to all major attractions in the Golden Circle. It's hard to pick our favorite but we definitely loved volcanic craters, waterfalls, and the black beach.
Our family of four had everything we needed for our stay and enjoyed the cozy and well equipped accomodation. The immediate surrounding of the cottage is beautiful and the views from the terrace and the living room are unbelievable.
Pall, the owner, welcomed us at the airport which made the arrival comfortable. We definitely recommend this property.

I’m not sure where to begin! Our first trip as a family of five over seas and Cottage Holl was our home away from home. We stayed for a week and found it’s location perfect to everything in southern Iceland we could think to do. Pall, our host was just the best- from our very first emailed communication I could tell we were in good hands. He even met us at the airport with keys and a gps, as well as offer up lots of tips to all the nearby attractions and local spots. Not to mention sharing his beautiful home. It was so much more than what we expected. Comfortable space for our family, great views, the hot tub, and everything we could have needed for a long stay. Thank you thank you. I will forever recommend Cottage Holl to anyone looking for accommodations in southern Iceland and will look forward to a stay one day again.

The house is very functional and offered a lot of space for 4 people but will also work for 6. We were lucky with the weather and even enjoyed the roomy deck some sunny mornings
The kitchen is fully provisioned with the most basic spices and a selection of pots and pans.
Pall met with us up in the airport and handed us the key and his personal GPS which made it very easy to find the hut. Our experience was that neither the car's building GPS nor Google maps were able to identify the hut with any precision.

I'm not sure how to not go over the top with this review to be honest. Pall was an incredible host going well over and above what any host should need to. We got stuck in rekyjavik due to bad weather so pall said to go back to his where we had tea whilst he tried, and did, find us suitable accommodation for the night. The next day a road opened but because the weather was harsh he wanted to escort us to ensure we got there OK. That was about 8 hours of his day lost to help us out! We really appreciated it so much. We checked out a day early as ity turns out friends of ours were in town.. Despite having made the booking pall wanted to get a partial refund.. Maybe it a UK thing, but this wouldnt happen in the UK! I also broke a suitcase and he offered to give me one to get my home. A lovely chap, with a lovely family..
The cottage was exactly l what we wanted. Warm, comfortable, extremely well provisioned, the hot tub was lovely. The location was excellent, enabling us to easily visit vik, the geysir, pingvellir etc and with a few tips from pall we found some pretty decent restaurants too.
A great trip and the perfect host and holiday rental.
Would definitely recommend
Thanks pall.

The location was perfect for all of the places we wanted to visit. The cabin was great and was filled with everything we needed. The hot tub was fantastic! The owners were gracious and accommodating. The dryer and I did not get along simply because I could not read the directions.

Cottage Hóll is a wonderful place to stay at while visiting Iceland. It is a great location for visiting Reyk, all of the sights in the golden circle and southern Iceland.
We would definitely stay again. Páll is an amazing and attentive host. Great communication before the trip, waiting for us at the airport upon arrival, with a GPS and local cell phone for our use the entire stay which was a huge help! Any issue that came up he was spot on to rectify. Including a trip to the cottage during the week to get the hot tub running for us.
The cottage itself is cozy and comfortable. The furniture is comfortable, the beds are great. Plenty of pillows and blankets. Every appliance and dish you could possibly need in the kitchen, which was a huge plus.
The hot tub is warm and relaxing after a long day of sight seeing. And a wonderful place to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. The shower is fantastic, hot and great water pressure!
The only issue we had all week, is that the washer/dryer combo does not work well. It is advertised to have both, but I would plan on just having a washer, and hanging your things to dry. We did not plan on this as we thought we had a dryer....so with 4 people and 6 bath towels in the cottage, we could not fully dry them after washing. Not a big deal, we worked it out and just hung them, but wanted to warn others that were banking on a dryer.
Overall Cottage Hóll is a super choice for your vacation homebase, and Páll will ensure that you have a fantastic trip. I would not hesitate to stay again, and we hope to do some in the summer season sometime!
Thank you!!!

We had a wonderful week with our 2 teenage boys, Pall met us at the airport and gave us a gps and a phone which was very useful and any problems we had he was always at the end of the phone to help, the cottage was lovely and warm, and was equipped with every thing we needed.
The location of the cottage is ideal for the golden circle and many other places to visit.
The secret lagoon (natural spar) in fludir was wonderful and well worth a visit

We stayed at Cottage Holl the first week of August 2015 - couple with 2 teenage sons. The cottage was perfect. We really enjoyed the area - the views from the cottage are great and we got great pictures of sunsets. We loved the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables right from the growers and beef from the neighbouring farm as well as coffee at nearby Braggins cafe/pottery. This was a great location to explore key sights - we did lots of sightseeing and hiking on day trips.
