Location & Nearby
Hotel Laugarholl is located in the spectacular nature of the Westfjords, right beside the famous Sorcerer’s Cottage. Part of the Icelandic Museum of Witchcraft and Sorcery (the rest of which can be found in the nearby town of Holmavik), this is a fascinating historic turf house with authentic staves carved into the woodwork and stone, revealing how a 17th Century Icelander with a passion for magic lived.
Holmavik itself is one of the two settlements nearest to Hotel Laugarholl, the other being Drangsnes; both are twenty minutes away. Both of these towns have all the services a traveler could require, such as gas, groceries, and travel information, and Drangsnes also boasts coastal hot pools.
Hotel Laugarholl is a fantastic base or stopping point for those exploring the untouched, primordial landscapes of the Westfjords. This far-flung region boasts amazing features, such as Dynjandi waterfall and the Latrabjarg birdwatching cliffs, as well as some of the world’s most dramatic coastal scenery. It is halfway between Reykjavik and the capital of the region, Isafjordur.
