Dis Cottages

Dis Cottages

8/10 Good
"We stayed in a room at the main building, not in one of the cottages. Liked: The view of the mountains and ocean was fantastic! The size of the room was adequate for 2 people. The high ceiling made the room look bigger. The large window provided a great view of the mountains and ocean. The unit was clean and the washroom was large and upgraded. Areas for improvement: Need more shelves and hooks in the bathroom. Pillows were too thin and there were only two of them. Mattress was not comfortable. Long gravel driveway from the highway to the property was full of potholes."

"The Old Post office was a large guesthouse very close to the Kirkjufell waterfall and mountai. The mountain was well seen from the guesthouse. The rooms were quite large, with private bathrooms and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was a bit small but ok for a simple meal. The whole place was very clean. We liked staying there."

I was expecting to grab some food when we arrived. There is a restaurant close by, but only open for breakfast and a few hours for dinner. There were only a few restaurants in the area and some food trucks. The staff was very helpful."
