The guest house also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. The staff!! We arrived at 23h and we discovered a problem with our single rooms but when we called them to let them know, they called back in less that 5min to apologize and upgrade us into a double hotel room which was really really nice, and I wanted to thank them again for this. Their café is good with lots of options. The location is just absolutely amazing... a few kilometers off the ring road but it was no problem, it made the place look like a whole village in the middle of nowhere with amazing view on the mountains and the sunset.
