Our stay at Torfhús was truly memorable. The reception and restaurant building is beautifully designed in the style of a traditional Viking home, with wood, turf, and fascinating artifacts throughout. Every detail felt thoughtful and immersive, especially the stunning couch crafted from an old fishing boat.
The food was excellent throughout our stay. Breakfast was extensive and delicious, and I especially appreciated the care taken with allergies — during my visit they even removed coconut from the buffet to ensure my safety. Dinner each evening featured a different four-course menu with optional wine pairings, and every meal was beautifully presented.
Our hús was equally impressive, with exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design. It included two bedrooms, a bath, and a full kitchen with appliances hidden behind elegant wooden paneling. The warm lighting and antique-style fixtures created a cozy, authentic atmosphere throughout.
My only disappointment was the porch and private hot spring tub area, which felt too public and lacked privacy. Additionally, the tub temperature could have been hotter to make the experience more enjoyable.
Overall, Torfhús is a truly special place — luxurious, atmospheric, and unlike anywhere else we have stayed.

Absolutely the best place I’ve ever stayed. The staff went above and beyond on everything — check in, dinner (amazing), breakfast (huge variety all fresh), suggestions and tips for our travel, information about Iceland history, northern lights wake up call, to name a few. The cottage was cozy, clean and exquisite. Truly a one of a kind experience. Highly recommend.

Our stay at Torfhus Retreat was great. The location is perfect for exploring the Golden Circle – we could easily visit major sites without exhausting drives. The hospitality was warm and genuine, making us feel completely at home. One of our favorite surprises was the charming Icelandic horses at the fence from the neighboring farm – we got some wonderful photos of these beautiful creatures.
The food was wonderful throughout our stay. Breakfast provided everything we needed to start our days of adventure, and the four-course dinners each evening were truly memorable. We can't recommend Torfhus Retreat highly enough for anyone planning to explore Iceland's Golden Circle.
