    We could see Arnardrangur at our room. It’s amazing. The owner made us very nice cake. The breakfast was delicious and exquisite.

    The breakfast was incredible! Sitting around a table and eating with the rest of the guests, it was a great start of the day! The bed was super comfortable and everything was super clean.
