Cozy farmhouse hotel with a hybrid of modern and traditional rooms, a restaurant, and stables

### Overview

Escape to a tranquil and authentic Icelandic experience in a traditional setting, conveniently located just two hours from Reykjavík and easily accessible right off the iconic Ring Road. Nestled in the breathtaking shadow of the majestic Eyjafjallajökull Volcano, the family-operated Skálakot Manor Hotel offers a unique opportunity to connect deeply with Iceland’s stunning nature and abundant wildlife. This charming hotel is intrinsically linked to a working farm, renowned for breeding the world-famous Icelandic horses, allowing guests an intimate glimpse into rural Icelandic life.

Immerse yourself in some of the country’s most unforgettable natural attractions. Embark on a short, scenic 15-minute drive to experience the wonder of Seljalandsfoss, where you can walk behind the cascading curtain of water, an experience that is both exhilarating and awe-inspiring. Alternatively, venture a mere 40 minutes to the captivating black sand beach of Víkurfjara, where you can sink your feet into the volcanic sands and marvel at the dramatic coastal scenery.

The Skálakot Manor Hotel boasts 14 cozy and inviting rooms, each meticulously designed with a harmonious blend of rustic wooden furnishings, soft, ambient lighting, and captivating views of the surrounding, untouched Icelandic landscape. Ornate wooden floors and meticulously patterned tiles contribute to the overall feeling of staying in a stylish and sophisticated farmhouse, providing a sense of warmth and comfort. All rooms are designed as doubles, providing a comfortable and intimate space for relaxation. However, for those seeking additional space and luxury, extra beds can be seamlessly added to the Master Suite, which stands as the hotel’s largest and most opulent accommodation option.

For unparalleled views of the Vestmannaeyjar Islands and the added indulgence of a bathtub and inviting fireplace positioned in the very heart of the room, be sure to reserve the prestigious Master Suite. As an alternative, consider the equally impressive Grand Double, which features a private balcony and breathtaking sea views, allowing you to fully appreciate the beauty of Iceland’s coastal landscape.

Indulge in a culinary journey that showcases the freshest seasonal ingredients and traditional Icelandic recipes. For ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation, the hotel’s spa includes a traditional sauna and a soothing hot tub where you can completely decompress and unwind. Please note that guests are required to pay a separate fee to access the spa facilities and must reserve their spot in advance to ensure availability. The overall feeling at this exceptional hotel is one of genuine warmth and welcome, a sentiment that is reflected not only in the aesthetic design and tranquil ambience, but also in the friendly and attentive hospitality of the staff, who are genuinely dedicated to taking exceptional care of their guests and the overall well-being of the cherished property.
