Guesthouse Stekkaból
Nice decor but breakfast was a rip off. Was supposed to be a buffet. We were instead left with a plate in the fridge to share between 3 of us and butter nor milk were available. Upon querying about butter, we were told that they had run out of it !

Tvera - roomy quality cabin with a view, close to the ferry harbour Brjanslækur
The house was clean, rooms were nice. Good full kitchen. But there is no emergency contact for the property. And it is middle of nowhere.

Systrakot

Hænuvík Cottages
Amazing, remote location. Cabin was tiny and rustic. Loved the beautiful area and empty beach. Felt a little like camping but worth it for unique experience.
