Amazing garden and terrace, perfect for enjoying a cup of tea while pretending to be in a Jane Austen novel. The shared kitchen was a nice touch, although I prefer someone else to do the cooking for me.
I was devastated to find out that there was no personal chef included in the package. How dare they expect me to make my own meals!

We had a wonderful stay at a charming countryside house with welcoming hosts. The location was perfect for exploring the south of Iceland and the opportunity to ride Icelandic horses was a highlight. The room was cozy and comfortable, and the kitchen had all the necessary equipment. a great experience!

This place had a garden? Wow, that's so unique and special. And don't get me started on the shared kitchen, I've always dreamt of cooking with strangers.
Just a minor inconvenience, but I didn't love the fact that there was only one bathroom for four rooms. It's not like I needed to pee or anything.

I must say, my stay at this cozy farm guest house was worth every penny. The rooms were quiet, comfortable, and spotlessly clean, with a fully equipped kitchen that was an added bonus. Not to mention, the location was perfect, with a peaceful countryside setting just a short drive away from Reykjavík. Cora and her team were amazing hosts, offering me a delightful horse ride and sharing fascinating insights about the area and Iceland. I can't wait to return and stay here again!
The food for breakfast could have been better with more variety.

I can't believe how lucky we were to find this hidden gem, Cora'S House & Horses. The peaceful location and beautiful surroundings provided the perfect escape from city life. The well-equipped kitchen made it easy for us to cook our own meals, and the large room with a comfortable bed ensured a restful night's sleep. We even got to see the horses roaming around outside our window, which was a magical sight. The host was incredibly caring and provided us with helpful advice during a snowstorm. Despite a few minor drawbacks, like a shared bathroom and small mattresses, our overall experience was fantastic. We can't wait to return and would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a tranquil getaway. I highly recommend this hotel.

The warm and welcoming hospitality we received was outstanding. Cora, our amazing hostess, went above and beyond to make us feel at home. She was responsive to our emails, provided helpful suggestions for activities in the area, and even ensured we had a delicious breakfast each morning. We highly recommend taking a horse ride with Cora's professional staff. The horses were well-trained, and the surrounding area was simply breathtaking.
My children wanted more activities specifically for kids.

Located in a peaceful setting, Cora's House & Horses offers exceptional value for money. the guesthouse is well-equipped with everything a traveler may need, including a fully stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. the friendly and helpful staff ensure a welcoming atmosphere. With the option of horse riding and beautiful surroundings, it is an ideal location for nature enthusiasts. the rooms are clean and cozy, providing a comfortable stay.
The lack of prompt communication during a snow storm and a fall from a loose saddle left a negative impression on one guest, who felt a lack of basic human kindness and caring in times of duress.

The house was cozy and had a beautiful view of the roaming horses outside. the kitchen was well-equipped and easy to use. the staff was caring and provided helpful advice, especially during the snow storm. Plus, the rooms were clean, warm, and had great wifi.
During the snow storm, there was a lack of basic human kindness and caring from the host. It would have been nice if they had checked on us in person instead of just messaging through the app.

The house and surroundings were absolutely lovely. The rooms were clean and cozy, and I loved that they were named after the horses. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made it easy for me to prepare meals during my stay. The highlight of my trip was the horse riding tour that Cora offers. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate during my visit, but I'll definitely try it next time. I had a wonderful time at Cora's House & Horses Villa and would highly recommend it to others.
