Vogur Country Lodge

We were a group of 4 Adults & Three teenagers. We had two complete breakfast experiences as well as two evening meals at our leisure. The food was plentiful with variety and originality. The staff was warm & welcoming and interacted very nicely with the kids. This is already the location they are talking about as their favorite during our 10 day Icelandic Adventure. Special "Kudos" to Ania & Artur . They were attentive hosts who took extra efforts to interact with the three children in our group. That focus was sincerely appreciated !

The Vogur Lodge is located in some agricultural fields at the base of old volcanic hills that rise up steeply to the north of the lodge, running parallel to the south shore of the peninsula. My husband walked up the waterfall behind the lodge, up onto a flat area at the top. This took a few hours. You can also just take a nice walk through the fields to the base of the waterfall. Or, heading west in less than a half hour drive along the road, you come to a lovely walk along the coastline among the convoluted inlets to a historic church and graveyard. Lots of seabirds rising up and calling to each other as we passed... A wonderful walk. There is a great old hot spring, perhaps from the Viking era?, about a half hour drive east along the fjord then north about a km. It is lined with rocks and moss, in the open hillside, with a classical old changing room. Be sure to visit the Leif Erickson museum (south of the peninsula a short distance...about a one-hour drive from the hotel). It's a very good museum, and also has a good restaurant/cafe. We stayed two nights, which seemed like enough given that my father was with us and he's not able to walk long distances. This is a good site for people who love this kind of countryside and either like to drive a lot each day or like to climb difficult hillsides such as the one next to the waterfall behind the Lodge. The Vogur lodge serves both dinner and breakfast. The dinners are superb, and the breakfast is a classical continental breakfast. Our room was large and open. The staff is very friendly, lively, competent, and interesting. A strong asset.

The location was actually pretty nice, albeit a bit remote. Staff were super friendly, loved that they engaged in a bit of conversation. The food was really good!!

Incredibly helpful staff, cosy room, really appreciated the hot tub and sauna. Loved the walk to the waterfall behind the property, and the total peace and tranquility of the place. The evening meal was wonderful, as was the breakfast. After driving on such an isolated road to get there, we were very, very glad that we’d decided to incorporate it into our “escape from Reykjavik” journey.

Very quite and cosy lodge. Nicely located for some peaceful days with a waterfall in the backyard. The waiter Artur was the best and most friendly and professional I met on whole Iceland. Food was good and room sizeable (family room) unfortunately only with roof window.
