This location is remote, however PERFECT if you are making a day trip to the Westman Islands as it's only 15 minutes from the ferry terminal. It was a perfect place for us to land after a day in the south enjoying the iceberg lagoons, and easy to get up and get to the ferry for a morning ride to the Westmans. Very peaceful. A little tight for a family of 4, but well appointed and very clean. I would recommend!

Clean property with beautiful view and good location for hitting the Golden circle route. Overall reasonably priced versus hotel options in the area. If going with a family of over two, space will feel a bit cramped. Just going in with that awareness will make it a better experience.

This was the best place that we stayed in Iceland. On a clear day, we can see the waterfall from our cottage. Bryndis and her staff were so easy to communicate with when we needed more household items. I highly recommend this place and we would rebook in a heartbeat.

Our stay was really peaceful. The location is ~2miles off of the main highway on gravel & we had a view of one of the larger waterfalls in the distance. Beds were comfortable. Pull out sofa was ok. Everything worked. Our sm 1 BR was well appointed. We stayed 2nts w/no issues. fyi: Hot water is not geothermal so there is a limit to the hot water usage. Check in was a breeze and there were ports to plug in an electric vehicle.

Comfortable, scenic, remote, limited hot water.

Very clean and comfortable accommodations, but quite small cabins. Hot water is limited, enough for one shower, need to wait 2 to 3 hours for another shower. No breakfast served and nearest food is about 10 miles away. Long gravel road to arrive, so remote off the main road in an already very remote area.

Nice little cottage on farm land. The kitchen was a little small (little counter space) to make any large dinners, but space was large enough to make simple meals. Was clean and quiet and close to waterfalls. There was a 4K drive on a dirt road (in not the best condition) to get there, buit we had a nice stay

Very clean and comfortable

We had a very nice stay at the Bru Guesthouse. The location is close to a lot of attraction but feels secluded, with a nice outdoor space and even a grill. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, with good bedding. The only issue was the check-in process. We spent a good 30 minutes after we arrived sitting in our car and trying to figure out how to access our place, because none of us received an email that should have provided the cabin number and door code (there were 2 separate reservations). We had to look up our reservations through hotels.com and send a message (and the response is it can take a couple days to respond). Eventually the owner waved us over to his house to give us the info, and said his emails are blocked. I can only imagine how confusing this must be if you arrive at night and in the dark.
