I visited the Herring House for a couple of nights during the third week of March, 2023. Well, I suppose there are prettier towns than Siglufjördur, but I can’t think of any. It took a moment or two to adjust to my surroundings. The Herring House sits on a hill overlooking the magnificent mountains that frame the fjord. With a commanding view of the town and fjord, as well as the church and night sky, it was all rather magical. Helga and Dagur were as charming as they were helpful. They checked all of the usual boxes, with a clean comfortable room, a kitchen outfitted with the necessary tools to prepare your own meals, and a large bathroom with a great shower. I left Siglufjördur already making plans for a return visit to the Herring House, this time in a cabin with my wife. I can think of no higher complement to the folks who run the guest houses that make our travels so rewarding, than to visit them again and again. Helga and Dagur, thank you, and well done!
