    The house is really good and the kitchen is well equipped. It is in a really beautiful and calm place next to a river. Would return anytime!

    Very remote little cottage next to the river. Make sure to always keep the keys with you not to lock yourself out (as we almost did) as the doors in Iceland lock if you close them even if you have opened it with a key once. We found a second key...

    Position was really good, near to Egilsstadir, yet surrounded by nature. Nothing was lacking. Plus the price was cheap for the area.

    The cabin was very spacious, especially for a couple! It was good that all utilities were available as the cabin is in a remote spot! We liked being near the river view

Stefan and Thorarna
Ábót is a beautiful cottage located 9 km from Egilsstadir, East Iceland. It sits on the banks of Rangá river (where guests can fish for free). The cottage has sleeping facilites for five people. Ideal for families or groups.
We are a couple living on a farm close to Egilsstaðir. We know East Iceland very well and we want to be as helpful as possible to our guests. We live on the farm across the road, around 300 meters from the cottage. We are not far away, and you can always contact us here on the site, by phone, or just drop by.
Our cottages are located right outside Egilsstaðir town. Around Egilsstaðir are many beautiful Fjords, such as Borgarfjörður Eystri (there you can see puffins) and Seyðisfjörður. Also there are a lot of hiking trails both in walking distance from the cottage and short car-rides away, we really recommend Hengifoss which is about 35 km from the cottage.
