Saltvik Farm Guesthouse

Amazing view from the Guesthouse, lovely horses and great staff and fresh baked bread for breakfast, close to Húsavík and the whale Safari was spectaculare. Had a great ridingtrip to the nearby beach. Highly recommend visiting if you enjoy horses and whales

My wife and I stayed at Saltvik Guesthouse for two nights. Used it as a home base to go whale watching and then explore parts of northern Iceland. Perfect for us- simple but very clean and comfortable accommodations. Staff was super helpful. Delicious breakfast. Great location only five minutes or less outside of Husavik. Also Myvatn area is only 35-45 minutes away. Would definitely stay again!!

Picturesque setting a stone's throw from a scenic lava beach walk and only a few kilometers from Husavik where several good restaurants, cafes and whale watching await. Clair and Merrit went out of their way to ensure that our needs were met including doing some laundry...above and beyond any call of duty. My Icelandic horse ride along the coast was a delight. Breakfast w.as healthy and very tasty and coffee/tea was available 24/7. A perfect 5 night stay.

The location was only an 8 minute drive into the harbor in Husavik, which is where we met our whale watching boat tour. Small converted cow shed room, but comfortable and efficient. There is a communal kitchen which is available for the guests to use with brewed coffee for you.

My 22 year old daughter and I stayed at the Saltvik Farm Guesthouse for one night on our trip around the Ring Road. It was a great experience staying on an actual horse farm. The guest room was simple but nice- 2 twin beds and a private bathroom with shower. Breakfast is served daily- bread, meats, cheeses, vegetables, cereal, etc. We had booked a horseback ride in advance online but weren’t sure what to expect. The stables are a short walk from the guesthouse. Having never ridden a horse before, I was a little nervous, but the young lady who was our guide was awesome. She explained everything, was very personable and very patient. She took us for a ride down to the coast. It was incredible! What an experience! Tip: when you arrive at the guesthouse, reception is located in the back of the 1 story building that is next to the big house

A wonderful place and our favourite on our road trip. Great, comfortable family suite overlooking the mountains. Super equipped kitchen and great riding. Daughter got to help brushing and turning out the horses. Lovely welcome.

Thank you for the great stay, the rooms were beautifully decorated and comfortable. Kettle right in the room was so convenient. Check in was easy! Loved the breakfast in the morning. The surroundings were lovely, especially watching the horses. Also booked a 2 hour seaside tour and it was amazing! Staff was friendly and helpful! Its also a short drive to Husavik where there were restaurants and other amenities, so very convenient location as well.

We stayed at the Saltvic farm this summer as we did the Saltvic Comfort horse back riding tour. It was absolutely amazing! Our room was wonderful and the bed super comfortable, the food was delicious with the friendliest service and the trips to GeoSea in town were great. But most of all the horses! We had such amazing rides through this stunning country side and the horses were just the best! Best 4 day trip we could have asked for!!

This charming guesthouse is composed from former stables. Our room was clean and simply appointed with a fantastic bathroom. Very comfortable bed and great shower! The guesthouse is located in the countryside outside Húsavik. There is a sunny common room and shared kitchen with complimentary tea and coffee throughout the day. The breakfast buffet was delicious with lots of options. Highly recommend. has riding stables on the property.
