Peaceful beautiful location, country comfort and excellent finishes. Really enjoyed the stay.

The shared bathroom is a bit out the way but it didn't really matter because it was such a pleasure to stay at the guesthouse.

Thora, the host, studied sculpture and is an artist. It shows in the way she has designed this space - fresh flowers, small artistic touches, a little gallery, lovely color combinations, and windows that frame the breathtaking views. It is a historic concrete barn the owners have converted into a guesthouse - an artchitectural gem. It is secluded, quiet, and perfect for reflective retreat-type travel. Thora is lovely and full of good suggestions for things to do in the area. She is also a great cook and her dinners are well worth it and augmented by local greens and veggies. The nearest town is at least 30 minutes away, and there are no refrigerators in the room, so plan to eat her breakfast and dinner. You can get lunch when you are out and about during the day. Or bring something easy with you.

It was unclear from the listing that breakfast was not included in the price. So be forewarned to add that to your bill/travel budget or plan ahead and bring breakfast with you. She makes her own bread to completment the typical Scandinavian breakfast, so it is worth it.

The hostess, Thóra, was very welcoming and so thoughtful that she posted back to us in England one of our belongings that we had left! The breakfasts were everything we needed; the rooms and accommodation were spotless. Guesthouse Nýp was a wonderful place to sit outside (in late July) and watch the sun set around 11pm! There is ample car parking, and you can drive to the door of the guest suite to unload any heavy cases.

The towels were rather hard, and the rooms would benefit from clothes storage (such as wardrobes with drawers / shelves) for those staying more than one night.

We had an amazing stay. The house is beautiful, immersed in the nature. The owners are available and respectful. We would love to come back and spend a few more days at this fantastic house.

Such a special place 😍 First of all - the hospitality. Thora was amazing, starting from upgrading us to the room with private bathroom and finishing with the amazing food she cooked for us (with the fresh fish and greens from her garden). This place is beyond special, so many people invested their time and skills for this house to exist in the “middle of nowhere”. It’s a retreat place for people who like quiet and peaceful atmosphere. We enjoyed spectacular sunsets, short hikes around the house and general interior of the house.

The walls are not really soundproof but guests were mostly quiet 🤫

Design, Elegance, Art, Inspiration, Nature, Silence, amazing Views and Cordiality of the owners - this is Nýp and so much more - we cannot find words. You have to feel it and to enjoy this extraordinary place in Iceland. And you have to enjoy the dinner of Thora...

The house is a pleasure to explore-- a stunning modern restoration of an old farmhouse and barn. The owners are lovely, warm people (artists) who have poured their hearts into this unique home. The location is stunning-- far from everything with breathtaking views of the ocean, and hills behind and a river beside the property to explore. Ask to eat dinner-- it's delicious and made with so much thought from local ingredients, and from the garden. This is a very special place.

Nothing!

A place of peace and tranquility for the soul. the breakfast.

We enjoyed a great three-course dinner and the breakfast was basic but very good.

Beautiful place and in a lovely natural surrounding

The owner a bit uptight, did not feel as welcome as we would have liked to. A little like being in a museum where things could not be touched.
