What a wonderful old house, we loved the cosy and nordic design in our room which was directly facing the water. The room had access to a little lounge area with a super comfortable couch and an equally great view. We felt very much at home after our long flight from South Africa. The Englendingavík Homestay is the perfect location to rest for a night before traveling further north to Snæffelsness. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed, we would have loved to explore the food and lovely interior.

Perfect stay after flying into Iceland

I don't know if I loved more the rooms or the downstairs restaurant. Borgarnes is a small sleepy town and this small B&B is located just on a little bay where the tide is very intense. The low tide gives a mystical look to the whole place while the high tide makes you feel like you are in a peaceful bay with birds singing and ducks enjoying a rarely calm ocean. Einar, the host and owner is incredibly resourceful. Be sure to follow his tips if you like to be little adventurous in the surrounding areas and have a great breakfast at the local bakery.
Enjoying the midnight sun has been an amazing experience, just outside our rooms.
Everything has been renovated and the rooms, even if not that large and spacious have a great view of the bay and they are very clean. Water is hot and I'm sure coming from the local hot spring.
The restaurant downstairs is absolutely incredible. We tried to eat somewhere else but we came back every day because they always have something different on the menu. 
My whole trip to Iceland has been beautiful but it's also thank to places like this this that I will always remember the journey with nostalgia and happiness.

A little gem in the best location of the town

Do not hesitate to book a stay at this location.  Absolutely gorgeous sea views, spacious, and nicely appointed. Loved that it was attached to a restaurant for a nightcap. 

We woke up in the middle of the night to check for northern lights and we had a perfect view!  Highly recommend.

Gorgeous Views

I was not going to rate this place as high initially, it is a bit quirky and check in is rather strange with a restaurant manager person checking you in in an offhand matter. But it met our needs and honestly was the best nights rest we have had all week. Nothing fancy but all you need for a night. Great coffee shop next door.

Strange but comfy

The good stuff - a well equipped, spacious room with a good shower. Amazing view over the water with good walking. Free, easy parking and a cracking cafe next door for breakfast.

The less good - neither the door to the building nor that to our room had functioning locks. This being Iceland, perhaps not a major issue but a great leap of faith required when heading out for the day.

Great spot...no lock.

This is a lovely little place to stay. The room was nicely set up and just what we needed. Though small by some standards it suited our needs perfectly. The restaurant downstairs is fantastic and our ocean view was an added bonus! My only complaint is the bathroom is quite small bit that was also to be expected.

Nice place

March is not a high season but we still booked it through our travel agent for our honeymoon. When we arrive there was no at soul to welcome us for our room or the restaurant. We think there was some sort of emergency. A note on a window said where was the key to our guest house, which was rather small (1/3 of normal BWestern room; maybe my understanding of the term was erroneous) and there were mold in the bed sheet.  We sadly didn’t stay as no one was there to rectify the situation. There was no problem getting reimbursed and we still think it was just the consequences of bad timing. Lots of potential. 

Not a great experience 

Englendingavík Homestay is situated on a great location! We got clear check in instructions by mail. The owners were on holiday while they were busy with renovating the homestay. It is a good thing that they are building extra showers and a toilet. Unfortunately only one of the extra showers worked but could not be locked. Rooms need a little bit renovation too! The four persons room is divided in two rooms. Unfortunately there are no windows/ventilation in the second room.

Great location but overpriced

I was the only guest at that night. When I arrived no one was there and after several times calling I could finally enter my room. It was small and does not have any table unfortunately. I could use the kitchen, but the kitchen and the bathroom was slightly a bit dirty. The WiFi was also unstable at some point. Everything else was OK.

Slightly bit dirty and no one was there.

We arrived in the evening and our booked room was already taken. The guy who was in there made a mistake, he actually booked a day earlier. This is the consequense of the self check in without a host... After this was solved we cooked, But everything was really dirty and there was not enough stuff to cook with. The WiFi was ok and the really small room was doable. But nonetheless the place was not clean at all and we would not recommand it!
