Description

The Skipalaekur Guesthouse and Apartments is a beautiful place to stay near the capital of east Iceland, Egilsstadir. Ring Road explorers and those traversing the Eastfjords will find it a wonderful, modern base, surrounded by blissful nature and close to all amenities

Location & Nearby

The Skipalaekur Guesthouse and Apartments are just a five-minute drive north of Egilsstadir, a vibrant and picturesque town with cultural and natural attractions, as well as all the amenities and services a traveller could need. This places it on the edge of Lake Lagarfjlot, a serene lake with fascinating associated folklore, which provides beautiful views.

Other than the lake and town, the closest attraction is the Vok Baths, just a few kilometres north. After a 25-minute drive south, meanwhile, you’ll reach the largest forest in the country, Hallormsstadaskogar, a birdwatcher’s and hiker’s paradise.

Most staying at the guesthouse or apartments, however, do so in order to explore the remote and magnificent Eastfjords. This region is defined by its mountainous landscapes, stunning seascapes, historic fishing villages and abundant wildlife. The spectacular wilderness of Borgafjordur Eystri can be reached in around an hour, whereas the narrow fjord of Seydisfjordur takes just half-hour to drive to.

Facilities & Amenities

The Skipalaekur Guesthouse provides modern, cosy double and twin rooms with a wealth of amenities. They have a flat-screen TV, a spacious wardrobe, a fridge, a kettle, and a private bathroom with a shower.

The kitchen has a fridge, microwave and stovetop, allowing guests to self-cater with ease.
