This is the best stay we had in Iceland during a 12-day trip: every thoughtful detail was considered in the private cabin we stayed in and the hosts were welcoming and wonderful. We never wanted to leave this retreat. The hot tub was filled just for us and the host brought us warm cheese and bread in the morning. Incredible view of the fjord, excellent local knowledge and tips provided (in a detailed notebook), would absolutely stay again in the cozy cabin retreat! Loved this place, highly recommend.

We had a perfect stay in a very beautiful place. Every detail in- and outside the cottage just fits perfectly to the whole atmosphere of the herring house. The owners provided exceptional service, the breakfast was delivered to our door and was on point. Up to this point, by far the best hotel on our island roundtrip. 10/10

Their private cottage is our favorite stay on our road trip across Iceland, even compared with the other four-star hotels we stayed at. In the summer, greens and a breathtaking view of the snow mountains surround the cottage. The room is clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The hosts are very welcoming, too. The only pity is that we could not use the outdoor shower facility, as we happened to catch a cold on our trip. Still, we wish we had stayed at this place a bit longer!

Made us feel like Íslandsvinir!!

Of the 4 places we stayed when we took our 11 day trip around the country, this was our favourite. The little cabin with the outdoor shower and hot tub was perfect. The owners - Helga and Dagur were perfect. The town was perfect. The epic beautiful falls on the edge of town were perfect. The hiking trails going up the mountain were perfect. The cute fat kitty we met when we were walking around the town was perfect. When we packed up to leave from the Herring House, my wife and I said to each other that we'd be back. Can't wait to spend more time in this beautiful town!

Siglufjordur and the cabin at Herring House was by far our favourite stay on Ring Road! Helga and Dagur were so welcoming, offering great suggestions for hiking, restaurants and all the attractions of the area. They were always quick to respond and also offered up great tips for viewing the midnight sun and generously filled the hot tub for us each night. The cabin was beautifully designed, super cozy and had a private location hillside overlooking Siglufjordur. We really enjoyed morning coffees and the spectacular views from the front porch. Siglufjordur was on our list originally because of Ragnar Jónasson’s novels and the Netflix tv series Trapped, but besides that it is such a charming place. We hope to be back!

Wonderful Guest House -- But Only One Bathroom

The proprietor, Helga, was super-nice and helpful. She told us all about the history of the little town and what to expect on our drive around Iceland. The room was comfortable, with a truly spectacular view out the front window. But be aware: there are four bedrooms, and there's only ONE bathroom! We were fortunate to be the only couple there that night, but otherwise, contention for the bathroom would have been a hassle.

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!
