The cottage was beautiful and we loved our week there. The setting was so quiet, peaceful and lovely. The location was ideal for our travel plans. It was so close to all the places we wanted to see. Almost anything we could have needed was there for us. The cottage was roomy, nicely decorated and furnished. The bed was comfortable and the heat worked well. The staff at Heimaleiga, the property managers, were incredibly patient and helpful with us meeting many challenges we faced, especially as Americans. For example, we needed to use a wire transfer instead of a credit card which can cause an additional expense.Other things to be aware of: There is a device like a phone on a window ledge which is used to open the gate on entry. The phone number to use is on the gate itself. When we were there, there was no house number on the arch in front of the path, It's just past #11. There is no freezer, just a tall, thin refrigerator which is otherwise quite adequate. The path leading up to the house did not have working lights so it would be good to bring a flashlight.

Die Unterkunft ist in die Jahre gekommen was nicht verwerflich ist, allerdings ist die Unterkunft ungepflegt. Die Betten waren sehr bequem, auch frisch überzogen, doch das Bad, die Küche und die Schränke waren nicht gut geputzt. Der Ofen im „Kämmerchen „ ist an einer nicht ungefährlichen Stelle angebracht und das Regal in dem er verbaut ist wackelt bei Nutzung des Ofens. Gut wäre auch im Vorfeld zu wissen, dass die Fernbedienung für die Schranke IM Haus ist. Ist auch gar kein Problem, wenn man es denn weiß. Trotz allem hat uns der Aufenthalt gut gefallen. Das Haus liegt super , es ist ruhig und entspannt. Nur so schade das man eben den Eindruck hat, das sich keiner gut kümmert.
