We had an amazing stay in the quiet, clean, and well equipped property. Details like the hearty breakfast and opportunity to purchase handknit wool sweaters made by his grandma set this experience apart from our other stays. However the highlight was spending time with our host Siggy as we talked about sheep farming and Iceland's history. His warmth and deep knowledge about all things Icelandic gave us a greater appreciation for the country.

The host Siggi, is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Iceland. We talked with him over coffee and breakfast which was delicious and included BTW. Siggi is the third generation farming on his grandfather’s land in a beautiful area right about Malari beach. He was able and enthused to discuss Icelandic history, conditions since becoming a republic in 1944, and future prospects given its ideal location between Europe and North America. All in all, nice homey atmosphere and friendly informed host. He shared his country with us. That was remarkable.

The farm is a beautiful property ~ the drive is about 20 minutes from the ring road and worth a stay; the owner was so helpful with Icelandic history and shared his life as a farmer.

Absolutely amazing stay

Hello Siggi, After our tour through Iceland we are back home in the Netherlands. We have many memories of this trip, but our stay at Skard Farm b&b remains with us the most. Thank you for the beautiful stories and the wonderful and lovingly prepared breakfast. Good luck and maybe see you in the future! Regards, Marjan and Fredo van Praag

It's in the middle of nowhere and the host is so nice! We had some nice chats and he shares a recipe, he was very interessed and give us some tips. It was very clean and lucky us, there were no other guest, so we had the living room for ourselves. We slept very good. Definitely recommend this if you're doing a roundtrip.

Siggy was a gracious host who shared many stories of Iceland. He suggested a hike behind the property that was difficult but we’ll worth the trek. Breakfast was delicious. The farm was very peaceful. I stayed 2 nights and wished I could have stayed longer.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was in a peaceful setting. The host took his time to welcome us and make us feel at home. He did not seem bothered by all of our questions. We learned a lot about Iceland from him. He even sat down and had coffee with us the next morning answering more of our questions. We’d definitely recommend this property to others.

Amazing stay on a beautiful farm

Of all the places our group stayed along the ring road during our trip in Iceland, Skarð Bed and Breakfast was the crowd-favorite. The B&B is in a gorgeous scenic location on a family farm, and tucked away in a spot we never would have gotten to see if we hadn’t stayed there specifically. Siggi (the host) was very accommodating with our late arrival and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was perfect, and Siggi was great company and answered tons of questions our group had about Iceland (and offered some great suggestions of attractions along our route). On the way out we purchased some sweaters hand-knit by his grandmother which are the best souvenirs we could have to remember our time in Iceland by. Overall Skarð Bed and Breakfast was a unique and fun experience.

Pretty much similar to what others said. Abt 15-20min of gravel road in order to get there, drive cautiously!!! The surrounding is absolutely beautiful—snow capped mountains, a creek, sheep around the area. Because it’s sort of isolated, it’s very quiet and peaceful. I went out later in the evening to take pictures of sheep around the farm. The host Siggy (hopefully I got their name right!) immediately greets you upon arrival and shows you the best hospitality. Absolutely loved chatting with him. He’ll tell you all about the stories of Iceland you never knew of! I couldn’t stop asking him about how farming is like in Iceland. Very fascinating! It’s a pretty small guesthouse with about 3 or 4 other rooms in total so it’s really not noisy. I had to check out early due to my itinerary and Siggy didn’t hesitate to set up breakfast earlier than normal for me— very grateful for that! Anyways, I would absolutely love to come back to this place in the future!!!

Such a great experience

We arrived late evening, quite tired, to the Skard Farm guest house. Siggi greeted us and gave us the basic property info. We were the only guests, which was actually kind of nice... so quiet and peaceful! I enjoyed a walk around to take some photos before turning in. Breakfast was very good and generous (great coffee!). Siggi joined us and we spent an hour talking, learning so much about Iceland culture, history, current economics, and more. Really wonderful host! The farm is off the beaten path for sure, but we felt so worth it. We slept so well and got great tips for our next day. It would be a good place to come for bird watching, hiking or biking if you had time... We took Siggi's recommendation as we started our day and went a bit north... we visited the French maritime museum up along the east fjords and Petra's rocks and then enjoyed a beautiful drive back through the fjords heading south on our way to Hofn the next night, but even the area around the farm is quite beautiful. Overall - great stay and very comfortable genuine family property and experience
