Puffins, Puffins everywhere....adorable. July 2018 Circumnavigation of Iceland with a trip to the Arctic Circle
I have been to this Island three times. Nothing beats it for peace and quiet and the thousands of puffin and other birds are amazing. There are no hotels though, only 2 guest houses, although this was a few years ago. #OrbitzTravel

A wonderful space to relax and appreciate Grimsey xx fab coffee and we had the whole house to ourselves. Anne-Marie was kind enough to let us stay until the ferry left at 4pm

So comfortable and clean, and enough pillows! (I'm a pillow hoarder) Breakfast was lovely, everyone was friendly, and host is very helpful with getting you and your luggage where you need to be for the ferry back. Absolutely recommend!

This is an incredible place to stay. It was problem the best lodge we've ever been to. It has stunning views across the fjord which can be enjoyed from the hot tub. It's really well equipped and was always a great place to come back to at the end of the day. Thank you!
