Absolutely perfect stay at this fabulous cottage. I can't recommend it highly enough. The cottage is warm, cosy and has all the mod cons you need for a wonderful stay. The hot tub is a brilliant way to finish a busy day of hiking and exploring, and the nearby waterfalls at Hraunfossar are stunning. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking - if you're looking to get away from it all, this is the place to go.

Finding the cottage was a challenge. My advice would be to navigate to Brúarás Geo Center (currently closed). This will take you off the 518 and onto the right part of the 523 to find the place. Continue past the restaurant and cross the wooden bridge (so cute!) to come to a T junction. Turn right, then watch out on the right for an entrance to some houses, it's about half a mile along. Turn into this entrance and immediately turn left, follow the track to the end and you'll be at Flankastaðir.

Once you've found it once, it's super easy to find again. Borgarnes has everything you need for shopping, in fact before you even get there, Borgarbyggð has a sizeable Bonus and a fabulous coffee shop overlooking the water. To the east, caves, hiking, waterfalls and the glacier. It's a long way to the Golden Circle, although in the summer you can drive the 550 which looks to cut the distance significantly.

We saw the aurora over the cottage most nights, on the last night it was super bright and green - a perfect end to our trip. Gudni is very helpful and always responsive on email if you need anything. Hope we can come back again soon!

Response from Auður
WOW, thank you Joanna for your great review. We are so glad you liked your stay. I agree that it can be a challenge to find the cottage in the dark. If you have a GPS it should be easier :-)
It will be easy for you to find the cottage if you visit us again, and I sure hope you will.
All the best,
Gudni and Gudrun

Wonderful place to stay for a romantic getaway or with kids!
Great jacuzzi, nice tv and the cabin was so beautiful.
The nature around was really enchanting.
The owner was also very nice.
The cabin already had everything you needed.
10/10!!

We had a lovely stay at Flankastaðir. The cottage is very cozy and the hot tub is wonderful, especially during the winter. The place is quite hidden, which is great if you want to be awas from other tourists and we got detailed instructions on how to get there. The owner was very friendly and helpful. On our last day, there was a bad storm and some roads were closed, so we couldn't drive anywhere. They just let us stay in the cottage for a few more hours until the storm was over. Thanks again :-)

Við konan leigðum bústaðinn í 10 nætur og það var alveg himnest. Við höfum farið á Flankastaði áður árið 2018 og vorum þá bara tvær nætur sem var alltof stutt. Eigendur hafa sko eitt alvöru pening í það sem skiptir virkilega máli eins og grill, heitan pott, sjónvarp og streymisveitur og loft viftu sem er gott að kveikja á af og til. Eini gallinn er að það var ekki uppþvottavél, sem gerði svona langa dvöl aðeins strembnari en áður.

Response from Auður
Sæll Rúnar og takk fyrir góða umsögn.
Ég skil þetta með uppþvottavélina en plássið leyfir hana ekki því miður. Við höfum hugleitt þetta oftsinnis en alltaf komist að sömu niðurstöðu.
En við vonumst til að fá ykkur sem fyrst aftur í heimsókn.

A little piece of paradise. The outdoor area is wonderful with large trees giving really good shelter from wind. The patio is spacious and again with good shelter constructed to shield from wind making barbecuing a real pleasure and even to eat outside in various weather. The cottage itself is compact but cosy, If the weather is lousy outside there is a second to non entertainment in form of large TV, large selection of movies and access to all the main streaming networks. The jacuzzi is then the icing on the cake. Highly recommended.

Our stay was reallly perfect, the cottage is well equipped, clean and is surrounded by a small forest, so one cant see any people around. The location is quite far from any town/shop, which might be difficult for someone, but we were fine with that! I can definitely recommend the visit.

Beautiful, secluded cottage. Nice contact with the landlord. Key transfer worked without any problems. Everything was there what you need for cooking. Cozy bedrooms. Nice living room with a great dining area. A great jacuzzi from which we saw a beautiful starry sky. We spent two lovely nights here. It was hard to go again. Next time we will definitely come back and stay a little longer. Thank you for letting us live here.

This was our first visit to an Icelandic summer cottage, and we could not have picked a better place. The cottage is cozy and clean and had everything we needed. Our 7-year-old was very skeptical when we told her we would be going to a cottage, thinking it would be boring, but within minutes of seeing the place, she was so excited and happy and didn't want to leave. (Our one suggestion would be to maybe add a few more children's movies to the otherwise extensive movie library.) The property is big and beautiful, and thanks to the many trees and bushes, there was almost no wind around the house (even though it was very windy otherwise). This allowed us to enjoy the hot pot without feeling chilly. Our dog also loved to explore the big yard. Lastly, Gudni was always quick to respond to emails, or to let us know about any possible changes (for example, that he had recently bought an electric grill to replace the old gas one).

Response from Auður
Thank you very much Susanne for your kind review.
We are so glad you and your family liked the cottage. I hope you will visit us again soon.

PS.
I love staying in the cottage on cold, dark winter nights, relaxing in the hot pot and looking at the stars and sometimes the Northern Lights :-)

All the best,

Absolutely loved our stay here! Within an hour my wife and I were already talking about coming back here soon. It's nice and private. We enjoyed the beautiful garden, grilled lovely meals, entertained ourselves with movie night on the big tv and relaxed after a long day's hike in the fantastic jacuzzi.
And to top it off the owners are great and very accommodating.

We will definitely want to visit again, the sooner the better :)

The house is located in a nice spot, very quiet and private. The place was clean and tidy and it felt cosy to stay there during Xmas. As a resident I know this area but even so the owner gave very detailed instructions and help after booking so for those not familiar with the area will find it easy to find.
Overall, we had a great time and it was a lovely place to spend our Xmas time.

Absolutely a wonderful, clean and well maintained cottage to stay in when one is visiting West Iceland to see spectacular places like "In the Cave, Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls". The host provides all the information guests required to make a memorable stay at this cottage and I will definately visit again. If one is looking for a quiet and comfortable place to stay close to Húsafell, I would highly recommend the Flankastaðir Cottage!!!!!

Lovely little cottage on a quiet road and not far from the river. Clean and tidy, and containing the essentials, including those necessary for rainy days, such as a television, radio, games and books. The weather was rather wet, so we weren't able to take full advantage of the deck, but we did use the hot pot.

Amazing!!! We were able to see the Northern lights from the hot pot. Secluded, but Easily accessible, everything you need is there for cooking cleaning and various little things you may need. It was very clean, we were thoroughly impressed. We only stayed for two nights but wish we had stayed more. No comparison, 5+ stars!!!

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in dem gemütlichen und sauberen Cottage mit schönem Garten und Aussicht auf die Gletscherberge.

This was my first time in Iceland, and I stayed at this cottage for the first week of January 2017 with the aim of stalking the Northern Lights. The cottage owner, Gudni , went out of his way many times to enable my stay to be successful. Months before my trip, he provided enthusiastic answers to my questions about his cottage, and about mid-winter Iceland in general. He is a very helpful and genuine guy. Upon my arrival in Reykjavik, he sent me a couple of text messages during the day with Northern Lights forecasts, and assisted me with transport from Reykjavik to the cottage.

The cottage itself has a relatively small ( I say cute ) interior and an expansive wrap-around deck/patio with an awesome Hot Tub ( Hot Pot ) and an under-cover barbecue. The lounge/dining/ kitchen area is perfectly set up, along with 2 bedrooms , and a bathroom. Upstairs, there is an attic bedroom, which I suspect most kids would love.

Having no experience whatsoever driving in snowy or icy conditions, I decided not to drive in Iceland in January. I took a week’s supply of food etc. with me to the cottage. There are a few similar cottages nearby in what I would call a hamlet – so you are not completely isolated from the world. But the only living things I saw for the whole week was a tough black cat hunting in the snow, and one or two birds flying high in the sky from time to time.

I must mention the cottage's tap water which Gudni says is the best tap water in Iceland. Having taken an instant dislike to the strong sulphur smell of the Reykjavik tap water, I was ready to buy bottled water to take with me but did not need it at this cottage.

It was a wonderful time that we spend in Guðni cottage. Hidden between trees made an excellent place to rest and relax. The cottage is equipped with everything that you might need. Guðni was an excellent host he explained everything very precisely and was all the time in contact with us. And the landscapes in the area around the cottage were breathtaking. We fully recommend this cottage to everyone and maybe someday we will return there ;)

Við fórum 4 saman með tvo hunda og áttum æðislega helgi! Bústaðurinn er algjört æði, þjónustan og samskipti við eigendur yndisleg og umhverfið ennþá æðislegra! Allt í topp standi nema kannski grillið sem er svona að syngja sitt síðasta :) vorum öll ótrúlega sátt og hefðum helst viljað vera lengur, förum bókað mál aftur við fyrsta tækifæri! Takk KÆRLEGA fyrir okkur!

Response from Auður
Kærar þakkir fyrir falleg orð og verið hjartanlega velkomin aftur, og með hundana að sjálfsögðu.
Varðandi grillið, þá er annað grill inni í útigeymslunni, en við höfum verið að treina okkur að taka það í notkun í staðinn fyrir það gamla. Geri það um leið og ég fer næst. Takk fyrir ábendinguna :-)

I came  to Flankastaðir for the get-away weekend. And I got exactly what I wanted. The cozy cottage is situated strategically between the historical Reykholt and charming Husafell. It is practically a walking distance from both and I actually walked to Husafell and back and profoundly enjoyed the trip.

The cottage is surrounded by a beautiful garden with dozens of different trees. It was so nice to sit outside with a cup of coffee and listen to the birds singing in the sky. There is everything you need in the cottage. It's clean and quiet, I felt at home. But a big new Jacuzzi topped it all!

The owner, is very helpful and always ready to answer all the questions including traveling options in the area. Guðni, thank you very much for the perfect weekend. I will be back!

We had a very good stay from the 15. to the 17. April 2016 at the Flankastadir Cottage. The Cottage is located in a very nice countryside. The Hot Pot is really great. We made some really good trips around. Visit the glacier and some caves nearby. Many Thanks to Gudni for the nice days on Iceland.

Frábær og kósý bústaður. Flottur heitapottur og allt til alls. Rólegt og þægilegt umhverfi, skemmtilegt að hafa Reykholt og Hraunfossa í næsta nágrenni. Kem 100% aftur. Öll samskipti við eigendur voru til fyrirmyndar.
Takk fyrir okkur.

We just spent out 5th anniversary in this cottage, and had an amazing weekend.

The cottage is very cozy and simply gorgeous on the inside. It is also nicely secluded between trees.

The hot tub is AMAZING, and we spent a lot of time in it in the evenings.

Our dog loved running around in the garden.
The owners are super friendly.

I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Virkilega dásamlegur bústaður í mögnuðu umhverfi! Öll sanskipti við eigendur ljúf og þægileg. Mælum með þessum bústað og einnig því að taka smá rúnt á Geitfjársetrið á Háafelli sem er rétt hjá :D

Superb summerhouse for a family. The large veranda contains the "swankiest hot pot " I have used and is set at the ideal temperature (40oC). This summerhouse is also just a short distance from my favourite waterfall (Hraunafoss) and is only a 90 minutes drive from Reykjavik.

We spent an excellent time in this cottage ! The rooms are comfortable, the small kitchen is very usefull and works well, the sofa and the bed are excellent, and we appreciated to admire the sky by night in the hot tub ...

We just had difficulties to find the cottage the 1st night but it was 1.00 AM and we were exhausted, because except this there is a very nice garden.

It was exactly what we were excpecting for a stay in Iceland !

Thank you again to the very nice and kind owner,

A cosy cottage in nice surroundings. The hot pot was awesome, the beds really comfortable and the bedding warm. It was great to have a TV and the DVD player. I would have loved to get more information on hikes in the area (for example through the lava to Hraunfossar - I had heard that such a hike was possible) but could not find any descriptions so I did not go.

Das Bungalow war in einem sehr guten und gemütlichen Zustand und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Dei Eigentümer waren sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. Wir danken für das Vertrauen. Es war ein wunderschöner, entspannender Urlaub in Island.

Frábær bústaður í afar fallegu umhverfi Hvítársíðu í Borgarfirði. Sérstaklega var gaman að fara í heita pottinn sem virkaði mjög vel. Ég mæli sterklega með heimsókn að Flankastöðum.
