    The hosts were very accommodating and gave my son his own room even though we only booked a triple. The breakfast spread was amazing with homemade breads, fruit, cheeses, meats, yogurt, etc. and they told us all about the area, Icelandic culture...

    Super clean, with big bathroom. Nice owner. Great location. Note: that there are somewhat steep stairs to get into the building. There are four bedrooms with a well-stocked but small kitchen. There is a small counter to sit around while...

    The Herring House was amazing! The rooms and house are very lovely and modern. We were fortunate to have the whole ground floor (and the bathroom) to ourselves, as only the cabins were booked up. It could be a bit tricky to manage the bathroom...

Looking forward to hosting you and give you the best experience we can offer - we live on the upper floor and are always available for our guests. Helga & Dagur

Neighborhood info

Siglufjörður is well located on top of the Troll Peninsula, the northernmost town in Iceland. There are endless walking, hiking and biking trails in the mountains, with spectacular views over the peninsula. We are also very proud of our new golf course and our popular ski area; Skarðsdalur, where you can find the longest slope in Iceland. The Troll Peninsula is also very popular for ski-touring - here you can ski from the top of the mountain all the way down to the beach. In town we have the international awarded "Herring Era Museum", Frida´s Chocolate Café, Barber´s Bar, Segull, a local brewery, fish shop with delicious "Fish & Chips", indoor and outdoor swimming pools, restaurants and bars. You can also enjoy kayaking or angle fishing in the sea, in a lake close by and in the towns creak. What a great place.
