Country Dream - Langholt 2

Owner was very very friendly and helpful. Self check-in. The key and room number is at the reception area, you just need to pick from there and head straight to your room. Cosy surrounding.

A no-frills, cottage type set up located a quick 5-10 minute drive away from Selfoss and all its amenities. In a place like Iceland where you will be out and about more than indoors, you cannot go wrong with staying here. We stayed in the family cottage - place is quite cramped but with a bit of organization, can make do. Has all the basic necessities (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, TV, etc.). As is common in Iceland and many parts of Europe, there isn't any central air conditioning, so will need to use the cross ventilation by opening windows.

We had a nice night at Country Dream. Our room although not large, was comfortable. we had 1 bedroom and a pull out sofa.... but wait.... The pull out sofa was not like any normal one where you have to pull everything off and have a bar in your back, it was a case of simply pulling a cord and the whole sofa turned upside down into a bed that was as comfortable as the bed in the bedroom. It took 20 seconds to pull out the bed and 20 seconds to put it back the next morning. The room had a small kitchenette which was adequate for cooking a simple meal. There was also a hot tub available to use with our room. As a bonus, we were invited to go into the stable to visit the owner's very friendly Icelandic horses. He also organised for a beautiful Icelandic Sheepdog to come and visit us. Country Dream is on a horse farm about 5 - 15 minutes drive from the main road between Geysir and Selfoss depending on the conditions. In the right conditions, it would give a great opportunity to see the Northern lights. If you are staying here in winter, I recommend that you ask your rental car company to provide you with a car with metal beads (studs) in the tyres as the road was very icy when we left due to rainfall and freezing temperatures.

My husband and I arrived later in the evening. While we were at dinner I received an email with the location of the key to our room. When we arrived it was exactly where the email stated. Our room was in a building just off the reception area, there was 1 other bedroom and a shared bathroom. The beds were extremely comfortable. Both the temperature and the water pressure in the shower felt amazing after a long day of hiking.
