Stóra-Ásgeirsá Horse Farm Stay

Stóra-Ásgeirsá was our family's favorite stay during our 8-day trip around the ring road. We stayed in other excellent places, almost every one of them in a beautiful Icelandic setting, but Stóra-Ásgeirsá had some advantages: It's a working farm with awesome horses you can ride, feed, and pet. The owner Magnus is a stellar guy. He also played an acoustic Metallica cover for us on his guitar during morning coffee in the farm's pub. Nobody else in Iceland did that for us:) Our teens approved. We got to bottle-feed adorable lambs. We played with brand-new barn kittens. The family house with three bedrooms was roomy and comfortable. Plus good wi-fi. The nearby restaurant called Northwest was great for dinner after a long day of driving. There's a waterfall and hot tub on the farm. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Magnus, his daughters, and the dogs are warm and welcoming to their guesthouse. The horses are beautiful and Magnus is an entertainer with his pub and the songs he has written. Whether you stay there, go for a horse ride, or just for pub night, you won’t be disappointed!
