We were lucky to spend two nights at Ytri Vik cottage, in a chalet of our own. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with scenery so sublime that it shall remain the highlight of our memory of Iceland - snow covered mountains, the Eyjafjörðu fjord, and sapphire sea waters. Our one bedroom chalet, 'Sel', was nestled right at the back of a row of six similar chalets, and featured all creature comforts including a fully equipped kitchen, hot plates, fridge, a BBQ, Excellent Wifi, TV with netflix and amazon prime and, (our favourite), a steaming geothermal hot tub on the front balcony which was perfect for taking in the majestic view at sunset. The hot tub was filled and ready for us on arrival, and remained at a perfect temperature for the duration of our stay. Our bed comprised of two single beds joined together, and was comfortably kitted out with soft bedding. The bathroom was spacious, and the living area had a cosy sofa with candles, and throw blankets, which created a dreamy and romantic ambience. Ytri Vik cottages was the place that we were able to completely unwind and let our experience of Iceland's raw beauty sink in. We were very happy with our stay, and look forward to coming back when we visit Iceland again.

Amazing location, stunning views (mountains, ocean, sunrise), lovely accommodation, comfy bed, great facilities (oven, hob, BBQ), plenty of space for two, good access for visiting places. We didn't meet any staff because we didn't have any issues. We were fortunate to see the aurora from the accommodation.

The main room was pretty dark and it made doing certain tasks, like making tea or finding things, difficult. The hot tub is wonderful and the views from the hot tub are amazing. With it being a geothermal hot tub, it can get very very hot. It would be good to have a cold water hose, perhaps, to allow for cooling it down a little. We're pretty used to hot hot tubs as we have a woodfired one at home but there was one evening where we had to get out because it was so overwhelmingly hot.

The location is great - perfect if you want a view on the fjord and peace, and the cottage was cozy and seemed quite new. The kitchen was useful and had enough equipment to make meals, and there was also a gas barbecue outside which was pretty convenient since it is under a roof and therefore usable even in rainy weather. The heating was good and the place at a very nice temperature when we arrived.

The lighting in the living room was clearly lacking. There was only one big lamp over the dining table, but the decorative lamps close to the sofa did not provide any lighting so when you were on the sofa you couldn't really see much. Although the place seemed quite new, there were some little details like a window not quite closing tightly and a malfunctioning door handle. Those were minor and not a big deal but did detract a bit from the impression of quality the place has in general.

Wonderful location right on the fjord with a great view of snow capped (in August!) mountains. You're a short drive south to Akureyri or north to the small villages/hamlets where you can go whale watching or lounge in the (very cheap) public hot pools. We loved the hot tub and the cabin was very spacious for a family of four (it could sleep up to 8).

Door lock was a bit stiff and it was very hot inside when we arrived in mid August (we turned the heating off!).

This quiet place is was situated in a a quiet town with little to no visitors. The cabin was one of 5 I think and had a hot tub, shower, lounge/kitchen and a bedroom. The cabin was always warm and the hot tub always ready to jump into. If we needed help there was always people at hand ready to help. The cab was opposite a huge mountain so was very picturesque.

The bedroom stayed it got three but one was a bed nailed to the wall higher up above the other two single beds. It was quite high and felt unstable so one of us had to sleep on the sofa.

This was our second time here - my wife loved it so much that we had to come back and coming all the way to Northern Iceland pretty much decided the rest of our 1-week itinerary. The view is breathtaking, the chalets have all the amenities and comfort you'd wish for (private hot tub !!). Food options were a bit limited at this time of year (the restaurant we went to in Hauganes last year is closed for the winter) but we had planned on using the kitchen and be independent on the food front. This place is a great starting point for exploring the fjörd coast and the peninsula to the north.

Not much to call out.

Great location being outside of Akureyri and next to the Fjord. The hot tub outside on the decking was a great addition to the accommodation. Overall, the inside was very clean and comfy and a good place to stay if travelling in the area.

There were a few issues with accommodation, which meant a fee message to the owner to let them know things weren't working. 1. Outside light above, the hot tub wasn't working, so I had to make do with using a small torch I had brought to illuminate outside. 2. The cooker hob wasn't working and kept tripping out the main electrical breaker so we couldn't use the hob for cooking the food we brought. 3. The light in the living area in front of the sofa was very dim and actually didn't project much light. 4. The information booklet could do with instructions on how to use the cooker and also in the absence of the laundry bin, where to leave all the bedding, etc. All of the above are fixable but just created a bit of an experience whilst staying there.

The cottage was amazing! We could look directly out over the fjord and the scenery was incredible. The cottage was clean and had everything you could need and all facilities were of a high standard. We loved having the hot tub to relax in while watching the stars. We were very grateful to have been upgraded to one of the bigger cottages which was wonderful.

Nothing!

The location is amazing. Breathtaking views and cute cottages! Had everything we could need. The cottages are on the small side but were plenty big for us two as we were there to explore mostly. The geothermal tub was superb. The host was very helpful and gave us good advice when the weather was expected to turn. She kept us safe.

Stove had issues - kept tripping power but the host was helpful! Otherwise we just didn’t like that the weather shortened our stay! We had to leave early to avoid travel issues the next day. We were so sad to leave!

Amazing little cabin that had everything we needed. Watching the northern lights from the hot tub in the evening was definitely a highlight

It would be nice if there was a tiny foot path from where we park the car, in front of the cabin, up to the door. Or if there was a snow shovel, so we could create one ourselves.
