We found Hraunsnef after a google search as we wanted to spend Christmas in Iceland. Taking a bit of a risk we decided to book a three night stay including their special Christmas package staying 24 to 26 December. From the moment we arrived we knew we made the right decision. We loved the ambience of this place and our hosts Brynja and Johan (sorry if misspelt) were amazing. It felt like we were staying with family and friends rather than being paying guests. The rooms were lovely, very clean and cozy and so warm. The Christmas meals taken in the barn which was in itself so beautifully decorated were amazing. The quality of the food and cooking was incredible. It was also very authentic as many of the dishes were traditional local Christmas dishes. We loved that and it was exactly what we wanted from our Christmas experience. The breakfasts were so good too. Brynja had all sorts of homemade delights for us including some amazing pork liver pate. The hot tubs were also fantastic and we made good use of these. It was wonderful sitting in geothermal water at 37 degrees with a cold wind and snow blowing around your face. We just did not want to leave after our three night stay. We stayed in Iceland until after New Years evening and although we stayed in some good other venues this experience at Hraunsnef was easily the highlight of our stay. We are planning our return in the summer already !
