Very nice place, comfortable and pretty. Very isolated from ciries, we enjoyed a beautiful aurora borealis from there, because no lights were around. Horses were just few steps from the cottage. Good price. We liked it

Lloc molt tranquil i familiar. Habitació còmoda i, malgrat ser una construcció prefabricada, acollidora

Stadarhus is a wonderful resort! My husband and I did the six day Relax and Ride package in mid-June, 2017. The experience was a dream from start to finish. Gudmar’s driver picked us up in Reyljavik on Wednesday morning, with two other couples, and drove us to Stadurhus, about an hour away, stopping at a wool outlet store for some shopping on the way. When we got to Stadurhus we were met by Gudmar’s brother-in-law, Oscar, who manages the guesthouse, and checked in. Our guesthouse room had a king-size bed, a day bed, and an attached private bathroom. The amenities were spotless, the hot water was endless, and the internet service was fast and reliable. There are also free laundry facilities. We met the other guests in the day room and got to know each other, then met with Gudmar, who introduced us to the stables, riding arena, and horses, got to know each of us and our riding experience, and learned our individual objectives for the week. After that, it was riding, riding, riding! The horses are beautifully trained, and there are lots of them! My horse, Magnus, never gave me a moment of trouble. He had a smooth, steady gait, a beautiful tolt, and an engine like a Mack truck. The resort is several hundred acres along a river. The first day we rode in the arena. The following day we went for a couple two hour rides along the river- very relaxing! On Day 3 we went for a six-hour long ride, with a lunch break in a mountain notch overlooking a beautiful waterfall. Day 4 was a morning ride, then a sight-seeing excursion to hot springs, a waterfall, and a goat farm. Day 5 was another morning ride, with a sightseeing excursion in the afternoon to the nearby town of Borgarness for shopping, the Settlement Exhibit, and the municipal hot baths (wonderful!). On Day 6 we packed up, had one final meal, said goodbye to the horses, and were driven back to Reykjavik and the airport, stopping to shop and eat lunch in Reykjavik. We were fed three fabulous meals a day by Gudmar’s wonderful cook, Lalli, and mingled with the friendly American and Canadians who made up our 12-person contingent. I should also mention Gudmar’s adorable dogs, Hekkla and Bella, who romped about and trotted along with us on our rides. Finally, I can not say enough about Gudmar himself, both as a master horseman and horse instructor, and as a warm, friendly, host. This is a family operation, and he took us into his family. I cannot recommend this resort highly enough

The place looks like a container in the middle of a farm. No character at all. On top of that there is no one there when you check in, no one really cares about this place. There was a dog in the yard that was left there alone (poor dog) so he wanted to play around, but that ended up grabbing all our stuff and almost destroyed our shoes. No one seemed to care. The room is ok and covers the basics, but if you look for something more personal, this is not the place.
