Snorrastadir is a historic, family-run farm in west Iceland with five cosy cabins you can book and a two-storey house where you can rent a bunk bed. Anyone looking to explore this region and the Snaefellsnes Peninsula from authentic, traditional accommodation steeped in local culture should look no further.

Location & Nearby

Snorrastadir is remotely located in the verdant coastal farmland of west Iceland, just south of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. This makes it a fantastic base from which to explore both beautiful regions and to look out for the Northern Lights in winter.

West Iceland is famed for being home to the ‘twin’ waterfalls of Barnafoss and Hraunfossar, the hot spring of Deildartunghver, the geothermal spa of Krauma, and the historic villages Reykholt and Borgarnes, all of which are within an hour and a half’s drive.

Snaefellsnes, meanwhile, is nicknamed Iceland in Miniature due to its unbelievable display of attractions; it boasts the Snaefellsjokull glacier and national park, Kirkjufell mountain, the Ytri Tunga seal-watching beach, and the Londrangar sea stacks, amongst many other sites.

The nearest settlement with reliable amenities is Borgarnes, which takes twenty minutes to drive to.
