    I liked the location, the warmth of the space which was very homely and the view was exceptional. Perfect spot for Aurora spotting

    A cosy farmhouse. The communication with the hosts was easy and we did not miss anything for cooking. Just be careful with the many stairs in the house, as it's easy to miss some of the smaller steps.

    What a nice guesthouse, just what we like. An old farmhouse with modernised central heating, partly floorheating, double window glasses, shower and good firm beds. Bit still a house with lots of original character. We spent our resting Sunday...

    The location was so picturesque and very calming and relaxing. It was lovely to be close to the sea and visit with the horses. We also had fresh milk waiting in the fridge for our arrival, which was delicious and a lovely welcoming touch.

  • When is the best time to visit your property for the perfect beach holiday?

    All year round. The beach is stony beach
    Answered on 23 February 2021
  • Hello, I see several reviews about the lack of cleanliness in the apartment/house. I’m concerned about this, especially due to covid.

    Hello. This is an old house that has been renewed, but we keep the old look so it is of course not new stylish. The winter 2022 we took away old carpet in basement and put parcet tiles.
    Answered on 27 April 2022
  • Is your private beach next to the property or do I need to use a means of transportation to go there?

    You have to walk 200 m. The beach is stony beach

Get close to nature at Bessastaðir. Cozy old house with warm character, big garden, many bird species around. The view is magnificent all year round, amazing sunset and sunrise. The house is close to the sea and it is very nice to take walk to there and listen to the mysterious sound of the sea and seabirds. You have full access to 500 square meter garden, you are also free to take walk around our land, as long as you are not walking on our hay fields. The house was built 1937 and completely renewed 1984, it was again renewed the year 2016. The house has two stair's. One short leads you to the kitchen, dining room and bedroom, the other leads you downstairs to two bedrooms and living room with tv and sofas. On the ground floor is entrance, small hallway and bathroom. We want you to be careful around our animals and the wild animals, so they can live their normal life. We are training horses so when you see us on horseback or rounding the horses, please give us our space, specially when you are driving.
