The photogenic cluster of small red cottages by the shore on the east side of the fjord belongs to Mjóeyri—a local family-run travel service offering accommodations and activities. Apart from the cottage accommodations, you can also stay in the main guesthouse (cheaper rooms with shared bathroom). Views from the property are sensational, especially from the small boat that's been converted into a hot tub.
Set amid big, bucolic landscapes about 13 km (8 miles) south of Djúpivogur, Bragðavellir is a family-run farm with a collection of cozy timber cottages, with one or two bedrooms. Each has a small kitchen, though the farm has a Barn Restaurant open in the summer that showcases local ingredients.
