Arnarstapi Cottages

Easy to check in, very close to Gatklettur. If you are checking in late, make sure to eat dinner before heading to Arnarstapi, as there is no restaurant open late.

Cottage is very basic and rustic. Some cottages have parking in front, others do not. The bed was fine but the pillows were paper thin with one per person. Bathroom was clean but needed some tending to. Pictures look great online vs in person. If you’re looking for a decent location that is a bit budget friendly, the cottages are fine. Just expect a rustic look experience.

What could be improved is the flexibility shown in exceptional circumstances. We were unable to reach the cottage due to a snowstorm, and a partial refund would have been a reasonable gesture of goodwill. Policies serve their purpose from a business standpoint, but an occasional act of understanding goes a long way in building lasting customer loyalty

Cottages were comfy and it was nice that the weather was good enough to sit outside on the patio. It would be easier if it was possible to park the car at the cottage though. Depending on where your cottage lies the way from the car park with a heavy suitcase can become quite long... Especially when it rains. Diner at the Arnarstapi center was rather underwhelming. Breakfast was better but it is not included in the price and you have to pay extra.

Cabin was warm, cozy and spotlessly clean upon arrival. Good restaurant on site. Great fish and chips from food truck just down the road. Beautiful walking trails close by as well.
