    General sitting area - not warm and welcoming, a small library and fireplace will be great….the whole place lacks a gathering place for guests

    In the middle of nature, close to golden circle attractions, peaceful, great food

    The hotel advertised a service to wake us up if there were a chance of seeing the northern lights which we were very keen on and therefore signed up. We were disappointed to find out the next morning that other guests had seen the lights but we hadnt been alerted. We were more proactive after that and downloaded an app to alert us and in fact saw some fabulous lights in Reykjavik the following night.

    The guest house is in a beautiful location conveniently located for all the golden circle sights. Our room was warm and cosy and we loved the outside hot tub. The breakfasts and the dinners were all delicious and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

    Waiters could be more up front about the cost of the wine pairings with dinner. (roughly £80 per person)

    Everything, the basalt pool in particular was bliss

    our stay at Torfhus felt like a real retreat, it was quiet and the rooms were beautifully designed and cosy. The outside hot spa was a real treat. staff were very attentive and the chef created a wonderful culinary experience each evening. although it’s priced at the top end it really is a stay we will never forget.

    The service was amazing, rooms / cottages were very private, hot tub was great. The dinner was absolutely fantastic- some of the best meals we’ve ever had. we ended up eating there all 4 nights in a row. Very minimal light pollution that allowed us to see the northern lights 2 nights in a row 1 the courtesy phone calls from the staff advising us the light activity was well appreciated. will definitely be back her again and highly recommend it to all!

    There is nothing we didn't love about this resort, from check-in to check-out everything was fabulous. The friendliness of the staff, the quality of the food, the amazing location, the hot pot next to the hut. We loved every minute spent here. A big shout out to the maitre d'h who pulled us away from the dining table to take us outside where the northern lights were dancing, absolutely amazing!
