A Truly Special Stay in Iceland — One of Our Favorites! Áskot Cottages was one of our favorite stays during our Iceland trip. From the moment we arrived, we appreciated the thoughtful elevated touches throughout the property, especially the beautiful interior design and cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Having a washing machine was an absolute game changer for our family. After being on the road for several days, being able to do laundry mid-trip made our journey so much easier and more comfortable. One of the highlights was meeting Greta, the owner. She was absolutely delightful and clearly has such a passion for what she does. She took the time to give our 9-year-old son a tour of the horse stables and showed him their incredible equine water pool therapy for the horses. It was such a unique and memorable experience for him. Watching the horses peacefully grazing on the grass right outside our window was magical — such a picturesque and relaxing view that truly captured the beauty and tranquility of Iceland. We also rented a hybrid car, and having a complimentary Tesla EV charger on-site was the perfect finishing touch. It was such a thoughtful amenity and made our stay even more convenient. We highly recommend Áskot Cottages and only wish we had booked more nights. It was a beautiful, unique, and unforgettable part of our Iceland adventure.

Beautiful location, very nicely furnished with thoughtful amenities like washing machine tablets, a small first aid kit, and even qtips. Very happy with our stay! The only thing off about the listing is that it has three rooms. It’s all one big room with a bathroom. Our 18yo slept on the pullout couch and was happy. We old highly recommend!

The cottage was clean, cute, and exactly as described in the listing. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay!

Perfectly sized cottages with fully stocked kitchen, v comfortable bed, and surprisingly well sized and modern bathroom made our stay super enjoyable. Then there was the long vista out the large wall window, which included several new foals learning to play and prance about. We had two nit problems that were resolved cleanly and without any time encumbrance on us. Location was super quiet for great sleep, and only 5-7 minutes from the ring road so we could get where we needed to. Would highly recommend.

This was our accommodation for the third day of our third trip to Iceland. Everything was exactly as described—if anything, it was even better than expected. We could truly feel how much care and attention the owner had put into creating this place. The view was wonderful, parking was convenient, and the accommodation was warm and comfortable. The only thing we were disappointed about was not having the chance to meet the dogs. :)

This place is amazing. The hosts are warm, kind, and welcoming, even giving us a tour of their facility (and the swimming horses!). We woke up every morning and went to bed every night watching the horses through our large window. The room was very spacious and included everything we needed—a stovetop, microwave, toaster, kettle, etc. It was a perfect spot to use as our home base for our adventures. Very calm and quiet, and close enough to both Vik and Reykjavík. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Iceland. I cannot recommend this place enough!

We were very delighted to stay at Askot Cottage. Stayed here 3 nights and the beds were cozy, property was clean. Was cool to enjoy the horses in the field. They had a little cute shopping booth, very thoughtfully decored. The couple that owns this place is very sweet, and we would recommend this cottage to anyone!

We LOVED this property. Tucked off the main road in the farmland, was such a well appointed cottage with everything we could have possibly needed. The views were spectacular, the horses and sheep were so fun to watch right outside the big picture window. We loved it so much that we talked about building a little cottage on our own property similar to it. I highly recommend for small families or couples!!

everything is amazing! highly recommended for everyone.

Beautiful, clean, very accessible, excellent views, accommodation easy, great place to stay!

Clean room, easy check-in. Horses came near the window in the morning which is a nice surprise.

Lovely cottage, well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. View was nice and peacfull looking out to the horses. Exactly as it looks in the photos.

Very nice worth the drive

A spectacular accommodation in an enchanting setting, thoroughly enjoyed and can’t wait to return. We arrived during a particularly bad winter storm and appreciated all the amenities, special attention to detail, and kindness of our hosts who were very attentive to our demands.

An exceptional stay in South Iceland! The surrounding landscapes are beautiful, and even better if you’re lucky enough to have the horses come nearby. The hosts are wonderfully accommodating, and there’s a rare opportunity to visit the stables and watch the horses being trained up close. The cottages themselves strike a perfect balance between charm and practicality. They are thoughtfully designed without sacrificing a single comfort. And to top it all off, perfect location to watch the northern lights!

Askot Cottage was amazing! We definitely wished we had stayed more than one night. Directions were clear, property was well illuminated, and entry was easy. I appreciated the fact that each cottage has its own EV charger and washer/dryer combo. We also had a great view of the northern lights during our stay!

Extremely easy check in, the cottage was clean and comfortable and well appointed, we had everything we needed. The futon was very comfortable and unwinding with coffee in the swing was perfection. Wish we would have stayed more nights. Added bonuses: their on-site shop was a life saver for snacks and drinks!!! And they have a place for recycling and trash which is kind of hard to come by. The horses are snuggly and wonderful, sunrise views and aurora views are epic. Best place we stayed in Iceland!!!

Beautiful, comfortable, contemporary cottage in a beautiful setting. Appreciated the laundry and other amenities. My only regret is that we were too tired to meet the owners and tour their horse farm.

Was an amazing place!!! So clean, comfy with everything needed!! Thank you Greta and Steinar!!

The web site and pictures promote the ability to have horses close by and even at your unit window. This is not the case if your stay is in early/mid summer which was the time period of our stay. Their own brochure in the unit states the horses are kept away from the guest units until late summer/fall due to breeding and births. We booked the unit (which was the most costly of our week long stay in Iceland) due to our granddaughter being able to see the horses up close. This was not possible. Full disclosure should have been made in the booking web site.
