Sólbrekka Guesthouse

$ | Mjóifjörður, 715, Iceland Fodor's Choice

Located within the old village school, Sólbrekka Guesthouse offers basic accommodations (mainly bunk beds) for a limited period during the summer. Apart from the few rudimentary rooms, amenities include Wi-Fi and cooking and laundry facilities. If you're looking for something roomier, two cozy wooden cottages (each sleeping four people) are found further up the hill. The cottages are perfect for seclusion and spectacular views, especially from their private hot tubs. Want even more seclusion? Winter packages (with boat trip and cottage hire) are also possible. 

Pros

  • Great views and seclusion
  • Close to hiking routes
  • Bike rental available

Cons

  • Shared bathrooms in guesthouse
  • Need to bring all supplies
