The views from the cottage were unbelievable. Might be my most favorite spot in all of Iceland to be honest! We were lucky enough to have a clear sunny day with an absolutely stunning sunset. Mountain ocean and grassland views with subtle city lights )in the distance). As an avid traveler, I never want to revisit places I’ve already been, however I will be thinking about my next trip to Iceland just to stay here again… absolutely amazing!

This cottage is located in a beautiful spot of the Snæfellsnes peninsula, right on the beach looking over the Bjerdha Fjord.
It is close to Grundarfjörður town, which has grocery stores and restaurants, but at the same time it is isolated enough that we could see an amazing Northern lights spectacle late at night!
The glass walls on 2 sides of the cabin allow even to observe the lights from inside (there are all blocking blinds/curtains when you want privacy, no worries!).
The bathroom could use a bit more shelving space, and the kitchenette is really small, with a very tiny fridge.
But the view of the sunset on the shore, the amazing starry sky at night (in September) and the sheer quietness of this place made up amply for these little shortcomings.
Highly recommended!

The property was very nice but the service was non existent. Literally, there was no lobby or check in or anyone to follow up with any questions or concerns. Someone came out to meet us when we first arrived but we didn’t know where to go to find anyone after that.

We loved Dis Cottages! What a perfect place to rest after our flight and to start our Icelandic adventure. So many amazing things to do and so close by! We especially loved our view of the horses, ocean, and Kirkjufell. Thank you Anna and Sebastian for your flexibility and kindness. We can’t wait to return one day!

bien situé avec une belle vue sur la mer. Une micro maison confortable mais si vous prévoyez cuisiner des repas, c'est petit et minimal. Parfait pour petit-dejeuner, micro-onde, grille pain et cafetière avec café disponible et tisane. Le check in a été un peu difficile, nous n'avons pas reçu le courriel tel que prévu pour le self-cheking, heureusement hotel.com a contacté l'hôte et nous avons eu l'information juste à temps pour pouvoir avoir accès à l'hébergement.

The location and scenic views are outstanding. The room is fairly well laid out and the bed is very comfortable.
Cons: the standard units are quite small: there is no room to put your luggage. Also, the driveway up to the cottage is full of potholes-they could be filled with gravel.

We stayed here two nights, it was a beautiful little cottage. The windows gave an amazing view and overall was very quiet. It was close by to a small town with a grocery store and few places for coffee and food.

CWe loved our stay at Dis cottages – the view cannot be beat! The bed was comfortable, the shower had plenty of hot water. It was a great location for us between Grundarfjordur and Stykkisholmur when exploring the Snaefellness peninsula.

We got stuck in snow traveling up the road to our cottage, and it was very scary for us. The road should have been closed sooner than it was, but nevertheless our host helped and came to get us. He drove us from our stuck rental car to our cottage and then brought us back to the car the following morning and helped us dig our car out (literally shoveled our car out with us)!!!! He was AMAZING and was truly the best part about our scary experience on the mountain. While for the Icelanders the wind storm might be a normal thing, for us tourists it was scary and unknowing, and our host truly put us at ease and took us to safety. I would go back to this location again and again to show these hosts gratitude!!!!

Host was very rude and incapable to manage a cottage business. We arrived in storm so with understanding of the bad weather condition, we expected no more than basic requirements of accommodation. Cottage has no sign for parking and we almost drove down the hill. Doorway to the cottage was all covered and blocked by snow. The guy didn’t clear the way after we told him the room number. Also no shovels were provided. Two of us cleared way ourselves with the tiny windshield scraper in the car and used the windshield scraper from the room trying to move some snow on the way for our mother, but the guys found us and yelling “that should stay in the room!” THEN WHY THE F DIDNT YOU PROVIDE A SHOVEL OR CLEAR THE PATH YOURSELF FOR UR CUSTOMERS?! The next morning, snow on way out was like half-person-high so we called the cottage to clear the way. A lady said they would come and clear, but no one showed up ever since. Main roads were cleared by larger tractors shown on road.is but the way out from this cottage to the main road was blocked so we called the cottage again to remove the snow on their property. The same lady picked up again and yelling "I'm not your slave!" The place even has no enough hot water for shower for two in the same cottage. That was terrible in a storm night. The cottage should close down during non-summer season. This was an absolutely awful experience. The host wants to make money but should learn what service and attitude they should offer first.

Absolutely loved this place!
Can I say perfect? Yes! Sometimes we find unicorns. This place had all we needed for our trip. Secluded, quiet, great view & everything you need in a small cottage/rental. Bring your groceries, not a lot of restaurants in the area. The kitchenette saved us too👍

If you’re looking for a self-service glamping style experience this is the place! It’s quiet and serene, we even saw the northern lights with a long exposure camera. Just enough space for two people and you are provided kitchen essentials including coffee, tea, and a hot plate. Any of the poor reviews I’ve read have mostly been because those people were expecting a concierge hotel experience and this is not it. Yes, you need to push the water after a shower into the drain but it’s minimal and takes 30 seconds tops. Yes, you have to wait for the water heater to reset to take piping hot showers for two people but this is an area with limited resources so easy to deal with. My only suggestions for the hosts are to provide an extra pillow since they were flimsy and maybe some napkins. However it’s easy to grab cheap napkins at the store up the street. Overall a very good experience.

We chose this property because of the views ( kirkjufell and ocean ) it offered. It is off of a gravel road ( short distance). There are a few cottages on this property, which gives privacy and offers unique cottage living experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. Note: We reached here during a rainy evening with a limited visibility, but Google maps came through for us when the Wi-Fi hotspot and even the car gps did not.
Advice to tourists is to download google maps offline, search your location/route when the internet is available and save it for later use. I have now more respect for google maps than before!

Loved the stay. In a remote place right in the middle of nature.
Has great views all around and easy to find. It was extremely windy >20mph when we were there and it felt like the door would fly but it was strong. The wind noise can be a little intimidating but the cottage was strong and overall we enjoyed the stay,

Such a peaceful stay with an amazing view! The location was great, only 10min from town, but located in a very quiet area. Room darkening curtains, very comfortable bed, basic kitchen amenities for simple meals. Host was wonderful! We would definitely stay here again.
