Ósar Hostel
Right next to the Hvítserkur sea stacks, this spot on Route 711 is an old converted farmhouse surrounded by lovely countryside views. It’s an excellent base for not only nature enthusiasts, but also literature lovers: a famous local story was researched here by Australian author Hannah Kent for her debut novel, Burial Rites. Shared and private rooms are available, with sleeping-bag options and made-up beds on offer. The enchanting misty mornings and soundtrack of chattering ravens come free.
