Get away from it all at these boutique cottages on a remote sheep farm 14km southwest of Þórshöfn. Farmers Siggi and Hildur have kitted out the rooms in understated, comfortable style – all have kitchenettes and some have balconies. The family will serve a breakfast of farm produce directly to the cottage. Perfect for lazing the day away, or preparing for a day out birding.
