Icelanders have spent generations breeding their horses (the only type of horse allowed in the country) to withstand Iceland's unpredictable, and often bad weather and to be able to walk easily through the country's uneven, rocky terrain. They have a thick coat, are very friendly, and have two unique gaits, called tölt and flugskeið. You see them everywhere in the countryside, even more than cows!

We saw this handsome guy on our drive between Skógafoss and Vík.

"Beautiful place near Vik. "

"The views around the property were grand. It is an amazing property nestled at the base of some mountains. The best thing is the view of the mountain in the morning. Only two concerns; we came very late after hours and it was hard to get the access code by messaging and calling; and there was a used makeup sponge left in the bathroom. "

"Gorgeous property, i wish i could have stayed here longer. The best breakfast we had in Iceland. I did think when it said laundry available, i figured it was coin operated. It was a service the hotel offered for $40 for a small bag. I had to take advantage of the opportunity due to some issues we had. Had it not been for that, i would not have used it. But our clothes were clean and folded. The staff were very polite, polished and professional. 5 stars all the way around "
