We had booked Stóra Sandfell Rooms and Cottages for two nights but ended up staying only one. The setting is very peaceful and quiet, surrounded by woods, and it was different from the other places we stayed along the Ring Road. The kitchen was nice to have, and I can see how the patio and grill would be lovely in better weather, though the rain kept us from really enjoying those.
The cabin has a rustic cottage feel, which some travelers may really enjoy. My daughter had been excited to sleep in the loft, but she found several spiders and decided to sleep on the hard couch instead. The bedroom was extremely tiny, to the point that the door could not fully open, and the bed was probably the most uncomfortable one we slept in during our trip. We did not use the shower because we went to Vök Baths nearby.
The location felt a little far out of town for what we needed, so we decided to skip our second night and move on to a different area. Overall, this could be a good stay for someone looking for a quiet, rustic cottage experience in a wooded setting, but the sleeping situation was not quite comfortable enough for us.
