ARNARSTAPI Iceland Mt. Stapafell, a beautiful harbour, clifftop walks, and a sight in every direction. #BVSBlue
Hellnar is located at Snæfellsnes penesuella in a beautiful National park. I can take you there with Www.icelandisniceland.com
The walk from Arnarstapi to Hellnar (or Hellnar to Arnarstapi) is a great short hike (~2.5km) right off the ring road on Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

What could be improved is the flexibility shown in exceptional circumstances. We were unable to reach the cottage due to a snowstorm, and a partial refund would have been a reasonable gesture of goodwill.
