From our guestbook
Guests from all over the world have written to Jóhanna, Agnar and the horses.
It was such a special holiday at your farm and the tour was amazing! The most beautiful landscape for riding! We enjoyed every minute of our stay!
Such a wonderful place to stay! It was so lovely to see the mountain in one direction and the beach in another. We didn’t ride, but the horses are so cute and fun to watch.
The week was wonderful with nice horses, perfect rides, excellent guides, a perfect host and the world’s best cook, Jóhanna! Hope to see you next year.
What a fantastic holiday at your farm! Great service, dinner and breakfast. This farm is a “must” when going to Iceland.
You gave us memories for life with great riding tours, a fishing adventure, wonderful food and fantastic hospitality.
Þökkum afskaplega vel fyrir notalega dvöl og móttökur. Gangi ykkur vel og sjáumst hress.
Amazing horses, amazing people, amazing week — not to forget Jóhanna’s cooking skills!
Your place is amazing and I miss the food, the glacier and Stjarni and all the other horses and people of Lýsuhóll very much!
