Cet établissement écolabellisé très accueillant est à la fois confortable, traditionnel et moderne
En juin 2002, les propriétaires ont ouvert cet hôtel tout proche de leur ferme dédiée aux chevaux : le résultat est un établissement écolabellisé très accueillant et dédié au cheval islandais. Ce lieu à la fois confortable, traditionnel et moderne conviendra autant aux touristes, qui recherchent le calme et le confort, qu’aux amateurs de randonnées équestres. Des randonnées à cheval sont ainsi proposées, pour découvrir l'Islande autrement. À disposition également, deux hot tubs extérieurs et un restaurant (signalé comme très bon, bien qu'un peu cher).

This is one of my Best Experience in whole Iceland Trip.????
So grateful for 2 awesome beautiful ladies tutor’s patience, super great sunny weather & peaceful landscape. Recommend to anyone who comes Iceland ????????.
For the "Pro"
- Nice, easy-to-reach location
- Facility was clean and in good repair
- The horses appeared in healthy condition
If your only goal is to say you sat on an Icelandic Horse in Iceland, then this place is good enough. For me, it was the biggest disappointment of our trip.
There was no dedicated check-in area for the stable. One of our group had to approach someone who appeared to be working there. She was friendly. Looked for our names on a clipboard, provided us helmets, and then had us stand out near the corral.
We were about 30 minutes early. Now that I look back through the reservation, this place did not request you arrive a certain time early. I think I just automatically did since every other tour on our trip asked for at least 10-15 minutes prior to the tour start time. And every previous rental barn I’ve been to was at least getting you on the horses by the start time. This did mean though that at 0900 (our "start" time) we were still standing in a now very large gaggle of riders.
Another lady came up with a horse and gave everyone a quick tutorial on the basics of horse riding. They then started breaking apart the large group by calling tours by the name of the guide. "If you're riding with
Finally meet who is going to guide our "Elfin Tour". Only unfriendly person we met in Iceland. Which, statistically, is probably pretty good. But her attitude during our ride was very abrupt, to the point she seemed annoyed to be having to take us on the ride. One of our party had never been on a horse. He was trying to ask a question about mounting and he later said she was very short with him as well. And confirmed I wasn’t wrong on my assumption she seemed annoyed with us. She didn’t really answer him, just grabbed his hand to place it where it should go.
There was a last-minute rider added to our tour. She was a return rider. Our guide was friendly with this person and seemed more interested in chatting with her instead of make sure the rest of us were comfortable on the horse and keeping up. The blurbs about the history of elves in Iceland almost seemed like an afterthought to her.
For myself, I was most disappointed the horse I was riding never got into a proper tölt. There was plenty of opportunity, but he never smoothed out from a trot. The guide’s only advice was to keep shortening the reins. If my reins were any shorter, I would have been up his neck like a race jockey. Speaking with the others in my group, their horses also kept a bounce. There might have been one or two strides to hint at something else, but none of our horses were inclined to tölt with Iceland Horse newbies. Aside from this, the horse I was one was very responsive to cues and easy to ride.
I later received an email survey asking we liked the tölt. This seemed to confirm that the barn attempted some quasi-guarantee their horses would tölt for inexperienced riders. Or they’re hoping most people aren’t going to know the difference. I never received a response to the survey, so I’m finally posting my experience here.
