Hestasport Cottages

Keys need to be collected at Hestasport Reception (navigation). It is a drive away from the cottages! We arrived late night (after first making our way to the cottages and realising that reception was at another location) however was cheerfully met by reception and a very friendly dog! 😊 Pleasantly surprised to find unit aesthetics exceeding our expectations irl. It was comfortable and cosy. We managed to soak in the hot tub after an early breakfast as we were too tired and too cold when we checked in. It was amazing, though slightly windy it wasnt as cold as we had expected. We also managed to catch a beautiful sunrise. Definitely recommend early morning soak as it is calm, quiet and most probably less popular time. Hope that you will have an awesome time at Hestasport as we did!

Hestasport cottages was our favorite stay in Iceland! The cottages are adorable, clean, well-stocked, and the beds are comfy. The hot tub is incredibly lovely - they keep it quite hot and clean. I cannot more highly recommend this place - we actually changed our trip around to be able to spend another night here. We found it to be so beautiful and quiet, while still very easy to get to.

Hestasport cottages are not just a place to stay, it's a whole world of experience. It's a truly magical environment of a few good size traditional wooden cabins nestled on top of a hill above the village with a hot tube in the middle. We rented the biggest one and I highly recommend it for a family especially of you stay for a few days like we did. The cabin was very clean, nicely decorated, high ceilings and full of natural light. We cooked at home every evening and found the kitchen to be very well equipped. Finding the place was very easy. Like they told us, as long as you understand that the reception is not where the cottages are, not a problem at all. Communication with the management was very smooth. We too initially had booked for 2020 but had to cancel due to to covid and they graciously refunded us. Finally we managed to stay and we loved every minute of it. In the area I highly recommend to visit the 1238 The battle of Iceland museum and virtual experience, have a cold one in Retro Mathus in Hofsos, visit the stunning waterfalls of Reykjafoss, Glaumbaer traditional houses etc. We didn't do horse riding but saw a lot of riders and looked like fun. There is also white river rafting nearby. The area is so beautiful, plenty to do and staying in this stunning place is a truly authentic experience.

Our stay here was amazing! It was SO clean, quiet, and private. The communication with the host was fantastic and the cabin exceeded our already high expectations. The hot tub was perfect despite -8 degree C weather, and the northern lights made a spectacular unforgettable experience.

The location is perfect for admiring the northern lights. Our cottage was so comfortable, spacious and cosy. The hot tub is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy some outside time in the snow. We also loved the little forest close by which offers lovely walks to the top for a beautiful sunset view over the Fjord. The highlight was meeting the horses and enjoying a magical outride to the Reykjafoss Waterfall with the kind & knowledgeable team of Hestasport - Sara & Felicia made us feel so welcome.

Reception person is very delightful! Cottage was very clean, well stocked and spacious. Beds excellent, local thermal bath (right outside the cottage) is wonderful!

Cottage was large and comfortable. We really enjoyed the windows on all sides, so we had a view of everything. The hot tub in the center was great. Rob’s and clogs are provided. This was our favorite property of our 7 day trip.

Hotel hot spring made my day. After a tiring journey sitting in the hot spring was the best part. Very cute cottages. A must visit.
