The location and scenic views are outstanding. The room is fairly well laid out and the bed is very comfortable. Cons: the standard units are quite small: there is no room to put your luggage. Also, the driveway up to the cottage is full of potholes-they could be filled with gravel. Lots of potholes on the driveway to the cottage: they could be filled with gravel.

We stayed here two nights, it was a beautiful little cottage. The windows gave an amazing view and overall was very quiet. It was close by to a small town with a grocery store and few places for coffee and food.

CWe loved our stay at Dis cottages – the view cannot be beat! The bed was comfortable, the shower had plenty of hot water. It was a great location for us between Grundarfjordur and Stykkisholmur when exploring the Snaefellness peninsula.

We got stuck in snow traveling up the road to our cottage, and it was very scary for us. The road should have been closed sooner than it was, but nevertheless our host helped and came to get us. He drove us from our stuck rental car to our cottage and then brought us back to the car the following morning and helped us dig our car out (literally shoveled our car out with us)!!!! He was AMAZING and was truly the best part about our scary experience on the mountain. While for the Icelanders the wind storm might be a normal thing, for us tourists it was scary and unknowing, and our host truly put us at ease and took us to safety. I would go back to this location again and again to show these hosts gratitude!!!!

Host was very rude and incapable to manage a cottage business. We arrived in storm so with understanding of the bad weather condition, we expected no more than basic requirements of accommodation. Cottage has no sign for parking and we almost drove down the hill. Doorway to the cottage was all covered and blocked by snow. The guy didn’t clear the way after we told him the room number. Also no shovels were provided. Two of us cleared way ourselves with the tiny windshield scraper in the car and used the windshield scraper from the room trying to move some snow on the way for our mother, but the guys found us and yelling “that should stay in the room!” THEN WHY THE F DIDNT YOU PROVIDE A SHOVEL OR CLEAR THE PATH YOURSELF FOR UR CUSTOMERS?! The next morning, snow on way out was like half-person-high so we called the cottage to clear the way. A lady said they would come and clear, but no one showed up ever since. Main roads were cleared by larger tractors shown on road.is but the way out from this cottage to the main road was blocked so we called the cottage again to remove the snow on their property. The same lady picked up again and yelling "I'm not your slave!" The place even has no enough hot water for shower for two in the same cottage. That was terrible in a storm night. The cottage should close down during non-summer season. This was an absolutely awful experience. The host wants to make money but should learn what service and attitude they should offer first.

Can I say perfect? Yes! Sometimes we find unicorns. This place had all we needed for our trip. Secluded, quiet, great view & everything you need in a small cottage/rental. Bring your groceries, not a lot of restaurants in the area. The kitchenette saved us too👍

If you’re looking for a self-service glamping style experience this is the place! It’s quiet and serene, we even saw the northern lights with a long exposure camera. Just enough space for two people and you are provided kitchen essentials including coffee, tea, and a hot plate. Any of the poor reviews I’ve read have mostly been because those people were expecting a concierge hotel experience and this is not it. Yes, you need to push the water after a shower into the drain but it’s minimal and takes 30 seconds tops. Yes, you have to wait for the water heater to reset to take piping hot showers for two people but this is an area with limited resources so easy to deal with. My only suggestions for the hosts are to provide an extra pillow since they were flimsy and maybe some napkins. However it’s easy to grab cheap napkins at the store up the street. Overall a very good experience.

We chose this property because of the views ( kirkjufell and ocean ) it offered. It is off of a gravel road ( short distance). There are a few cottages on this property, which gives privacy and offers unique cottage living experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. Note: We reached here during a rainy evening with a limited visibility, but Google maps came through for us when the Wi-Fi hotspot and even the car gps did not. Advice to tourists is to download google maps offline, search your location/route when the internet is available and save it for later use. I have now more respect for google maps than before!

Loved the stay. In a remote place right in the middle of nature. Has great views all around and easy to find. It was extremely windy >20mph when we were there and it felt like the door would fly but it was strong. The wind noise can be a little intimidating but the cottage was strong and overall we enjoyed the stay,

Such a peaceful stay with an amazing view! The location was great, only 10min from town, but located in a very quiet area. Room darkening curtains, very comfortable bed, basic kitchen amenities for simple meals. Host was wonderful! We would definitely stay here again.

Good stay.
Awesome views - rooms 1, 3 and 5 have the best I think. The room is a bit smaller that expected and there is nowhere to hang clothes other than a clothes hook. The blinds don't keep the light out very well and there is one small window without any blinds. Shower is very powerful but the curtain doesn't do a very good job of keeping the bathroom dry.

The cottages have a wonderful view of the bay and surrounding mountains. Large glass windows added to the viewing enjoyment. Bird lovers would enjoy the many varieties flying around the adjoining meadow. It was only a short drive to town for gas, groceries and restaurants. The perfect home base for visiting other sites on the peninsula.

The owner came and introduced himself and was friendly and seemed glad to meet us.We would definitely stay here again!

Overall a nice, cute place to stay with great views. Having a TV would have been nice. Only downside with this property was that the shower doesn’t drain fast enough and the shower floor is just part of the bathroom floor (no separate lip on the shower to keep the water in) so the entire bathroom floor was covered with water by the time I was done with a relatively short shower.

Overall, we had a good stay. Please note you must travel gravel roads about 1 mile to the cottage. The first night we were there it was very windy. The wind would hit like a hollow pipe and make the loudest noises. It was very hard to fall asleep. I wish they had provided more towels.

Beautiful, serene location with just a short drive into town. Breathtaking views, modern furnishings, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Great amenities such as kettle, coffee maker, induction burner and a large variety of cooking utensils and serving ware. Loved that the kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, sugar, salt and pepper, we ended up making all of our meals there for our three day stay. The bedding was so comfortable and soft and there is great water pressure in the shower. Anne and Sebastian are so friendly, helpful and responded immediately to any and all of our needs. We really felt at home here and were so happy that we opted for Dis Cottages instead of a hotel - there is no comparison. If you are fortunate enough to visit the beautiful town of Grundarfijordur, this is THE place to stay. Merci beaucoup et travail bien fait Anne & Sebastian!
