57 rooms in three white houses: standard doubles for one or two guests, all available as twins, and one natural triple. Every room has its own bathroom.
Simple, clean and warm, for one or two guests. Doubles can be made up as twins on request. There are no TVs: for most of the year the houses are a school, and the children should not be distracted. Besides, looking out of the window is much more exciting than any TV programme.
Wheelchair accessible: two rooms in Tröllasteinn, with a lift, direct access from the car park and a step-free path to the restaurant. Tell us in advance.
Staying at Laugar can feel a little like Hogwarts: a school in a quiet valley, its houses with names of their own. They are named in honour of the huldufólk, the hidden people of Iceland, who are much more than elves.
Tröllasteinn means troll stone and Álfasteinn means elf stone. Fjall means mountain, but its real name is Draugasteinn, the ghost stone. We called it Fjall because we did not want to frighten the guests.
Check in at Gamli, the main building by the pond, then drive or walk to your house. If you cannot climb stairs, please let us know in advance.
