This was a lovely guesthouse. The view into the lake and mountains was fantastic. Lovely and shy dog on site. (which we later learnt is a native Iceland sheep dog!) Richard was such a warm and helpful host. Breakfast was great.

Featuring free WiFi, Guesthouse Baegisa offers accommodation 23 km outside of Akureyri. Free private parking is available on site. Home-cooked meals are available upon request.

Hof - Cultural Center and Conference Hall is 15 km from Guesthouse Baegisa, while Pollurinn is 16 km from the property. Akureyri Airport is 25 km away.

We felt more than welcome. The owner spoiled us with delicious breakfasts and dinner (local products!). The guesthouse is perfectly located - close enough to Akureyri but you still get this "in the middle of nowhere"/"close to nature" experience. The rooms are immaculately clean and super comfortable. We loved visiting the sheep farm, cuddling all the dogs at work, hearing all the stories about living in Iceland, but what we loved the most was Elizabeth's (owner) passion and her genuine hospitality. We totally recommend staying here and we are definitely coming back!

Amazing location and a beautiful cottage with all the facilities one could wish for! Truly a gorgeous surprise in the midst of a holiday. Zero contact check-in and check-out is a nice touch. Two barbecues (gas and charcoal) are downright luxury. The cottage is comfortable, warm, and cosy. Beautiful details and a home-like atmosphere. Could easily stay a couple of weeks.

Lamb Inn’s bright, simple rooms have wooden floors, a desk and seating area. Each room offers fjord and mountain views. Wi-Fi is free in public areas.

The breakfast buffet is served in the wood-panelled dining room, a converted barn. Traditional Icelandic evening meals are also possible.

We had a fantastic 2 night stay at the Lamb Inn as part of our trip to Iceland driving the ringroad. The location is great only a 10 minute drive from Akureyri but out in the countryside and a great place to relax. We really enjoyed the Icelandic breakfast with plenty of options, and the lamb for dinner was excellent, well worth having. Lovely to have the option of a dip in the hot tub and we quite liked just relaxing in the lobby with a book and a coffee. Highly recommended

    The room was spacious, as was the bathroom, but the shower cabin was very small. The location in the city centre was great, with many restaurants and cafes nearby. The guesthouse was rather quiet, and the common room was clean.

    Great location, quiet street within walking distance of downtown and the Hof. Very lovely, with a beautifully equipped kitchen with plenty of space for food preparation. Hostess was very gracious, and obviously cares about guest experience.

    Beautiful guesthouse on a farm close to the ring road, very clean, cozy rooms with a charming, personal decor. Elisabeth was an extraordinary, very welcoming hostess, and her dishes were wonderful. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious with many homemade ingredients (e.g. bread, jam, etc.). It was definitely the best and most convivial accommodation during our stay in Iceland.

    Don’t let the outside fool you. I was sceptical when I saw the outside of the building, and no sign telling this was the guesthouse. But inside: so clean, nice and every guest was considerate and quiet. Also close to city center. Perfect for families!

    We loved everything. Location is charming, quick drive to Akureyri. Superp service. The owner was next level helpful, just á great host. Fantastic food, both the breafast buffey and also the dinner buffey (one of the best we’ve ever had. Big rooms, comfortable beds, cheap beer and the best thing was the breath taking view. Sauna, hot tub and pool nice touch. We’ll only book this hotel on all of our up coming trips.
