Summary
Description
The Dis Cottages are a set of remote log cabins near Grundarfjordur on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, overlooking mountains and the ocean. Couples looking for a romantic getaway will find their studio bungalows to be the perfect retreat, whereas families or small groups of up to four can escape the hustle and bustle in a larger cottage.
Location & Nearby
Located on the northern shore of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, the Dis Cottages are surrounded by stark, remote landscapes and overlook the ocean. The nearest settlement, Grundarfjordur, is ten minute’s drive away, out of sight of the cabins but close enough to easily access amenities such as groceries and gas.
Across the water from the Dis Cottages is the mighty Kirkjufell mountain, which featured in Game of Thrones. It can be reached by car in just twenty minutes. Snaefellsjokull National Park, meanwhile, is less than an hour away, where you can find spectacular sites such as Djupalonssandur beach, Vatnshellir lava cave, and, of course, Snaefellsjokull glacier itself.
With the incredible diversity of its natural and cultural attractions, the Snaefellsnes Peninsula is often called ‘Iceland in Miniature’, and the Dis Cottages are a fantastic base from which to experience its countless wonders. Stykkisholmur (ferry to the Westfjords) is about 40 minutes' drive east.
Facilities and Amenities
There are two accommodation options at the Dis Cottages, one tailored to couples and another to larger groups. The smaller, studio cottages are incredibly cosy and warm, with double beds, luxurious furnishings and spectacular views. They have kitchenettes with a stove and other necessary equipment, an en-suite bathroom with a shower, and patios with access to the surrounding nature.
The bigger cottages are similar but have one separate bedroom plus a living area with a large sofa bed.
All of the Dis Cottages have access to free Wifi and parking. The cottages stand on the farm Thordisarstadir, and horse riding can be arranged in the area.
Why Choose Dis Cottages?
Travellers seeking to make the most of one of Iceland’s most primordial regions in a place of pristine, remote beauty should look no further than the Dis Cottages.
