The Old School House

We have stayed all over the world and the old school house is in our top 3 favorites. We had a group of 15 photographers stay here for a week of photo shoots. This was the best place to return home for some relaxation every night after 10-11 hours out in the elements all day. Communication was impeccable and I wish I could give 10 stars all around!

Stay with us

Please note that we are only taking bookings for the whole house
for minimum 3 nights 
The house sleeps around 25 people in 8 rooms

Our house is ideal for any kind of group travel, weddings, retreats or gatherings

 

It is a magnificent old converted school house in the rural lowlands of south of Iceland.

We are perfectly placed; with proximity to many of the main attractions, with view of glaciers and volcanoes.

We are close to the beach and the mountains, and all amenities are a 10 min drive away.
