Welcome

A home in the heart of South Iceland

Kot Guesthouse - also known as Kennarabústaður - is a bright and spacious house in Fljótshlíð, just 9 km from Hvolsvöllur. The property is built for families, groups of friends and travellers who want privacy, comfort and an authentically Icelandic experience.

Simplicity and warmth meet here: a large shared living room, a fully equipped kitchen, three bathrooms and a terrace with wide views across the countryside.
