There was enough space in the wood house and it was clean. The kitchen has the basics and it allowed us to prepare our breakfast. The restaurant was very nice and allowed me to try whale :)

Host Info

Set in the open landscapes of Hellishólar, just about 9 minutes’ drive from Hvolsvöllur, Hellishólar Cottages offer a peaceful countryside stay surrounded by wide views, fresh air, and a strong sense of space. Each cottage is slightly separated, giving you privacy and quiet, while still being perfectly located for exploring the South Coast. In summer, long daylight hours fill the landscape with changing colors. Open fields, distant mountains, and endless light make it a beautiful place to slow down, sit outside, take photos, and simply enjoy the Icelandic countryside. In winter, the same openness becomes something completely different. With very little light pollution, Hellishólar turns into a calm, dark-sky setting where you can step outside in the evening and watch for Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) when conditions are right. On clear days, there are open views toward surrounding volcanoes, and even toward the Westman Islands on the horizon. ⛳🎣 Amenities That Are Part of the Experience Staying at Hellishólar also means having access to amenities that are naturally part of the area: A golf course set in the open countryside A fishing lake within the Hellishólar area Open walking spaces and wide natural surroundings An on-site restaurant, Hygge Restaurant & Bar, within walking distance 🎯 Ideal For Travelers seeking a real countryside experience Couples, families and small groups on a road trip Guests who value space, nature and calm Golfers, fishing enthusiasts and outdoor lovers Tour operators looking for a well-located, peaceful stop
