Their private cottage is our favorite stay on our road trip across Iceland, even compared with the other four-star hotels we stayed at. In the summer, greens and a breathtaking view of the snow mountains surround the cottage. The room is clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The hosts are very welcoming, too.
The only pity is that we could not use the outdoor shower facility, as we happened to catch a cold on our trip. Still, we wish we had stayed at this place a bit longer!
Of the 4 places we stayed when we took our 11 day trip around the country, this was our favourite. The little cabin with the outdoor shower and hot tub was perfect. The owners - Helga and Dagur were perfect. The town was perfect. The epic beautiful falls on the edge of town were perfect. The hiking trails going up the mountain were perfect. The cute fat kitty we met when we were walking around the town was perfect. When we packed up to leave from the Herring House, my wife and I said to each other that we'd be back. Can't wait to spend more time in this beautiful town!
We loved our stay at Herring House. Cozy, comfortable, well appointed, lots of amenities and very gracious and helpful hosts. Our best stay in Iceland so far. Highly recommend!
Siglufjordur and the cabin at Herring House was by far our favourite stay on Ring Road! Helga and Dagur were so welcoming, offering great suggestions for hiking, restaurants and all the attractions of the area. They were always quick to respond and also offered up great tips for viewing the midnight sun and generously filled the hot tub for us each night. The cabin was beautifully designed, super cozy and had a private location hillside overlooking Siglufjordur. We really enjoyed morning coffees and the spectacular views from the front porch. Siglufjordur was on our list originally because of Ragnar Jónasson’s novels and the Netflix tv series Trapped, but besides that it is such a charming place. We hope to be back!
The proprietor, Helga, was super-nice and helpful. She told us all about the history of the little town and what to expect on our drive around Iceland. The room was comfortable, with a truly spectacular view out the front window. But be aware: there are four bedrooms, and there's only ONE bathroom! We were fortunate to be the only couple there that night, but otherwise, contention for the bathroom would have been a hassle.
Absolute gem in Siglufjdordur! Helga was so helpful for our forward journey recommending bakeries, lunch stop, and route! Rooms were clean, shared bathroom large and clean, kichen area well stocked.
The location was excellent. Close to the town Square. Helga was very nice and provided a town map and information on town events. Beds were very comfortable. Pretty location.
We arrived late and the owners were very nice to keep I touch and provide good direction to check in, they are very nice couples . Love the cabin that we stayed , wish we could stay longer and enjoy the view , the place and the back yard was full with flowers and mountain
Very very beautiful
Private house with rooms in perfect condition, extremely comfortable and a view to kill for. Siglufjordur is a spectacular place, with a few great restaurants and places to enjoy a drink. Worth the detour.
