Without specific expectations we reached Ensku Husin (the english house) at End of April 2013. From the very first moment we felt so pleasant and welcome. The Husin is characterized by a very charming and personal interior, one can breath the tradition not only of the house itself, but of the familiy tradition over generations to maintain the house in...

Our tour party stayed at this accommodation for one night and it was absolutely delightful. We had the warmest of greetings by the owner/chef whose family have been here for some time. Rooms were comfortable and warm with fabulous views over the nearby river. The dinner menu displayed for all to see had our mouths watering long before dinner and... More

Upon arriving at this lodging, it looked beautiful from the outside. And indeed it is beautiful on the inside too.... But stay downstairs if you can. We were upstairs in a very basic room with wafer thin walls and a bathroom tap that would not stop dripping. Very disappointed after paying a lot of money.

Anna and Hjorleifur are a hard working couple with delightful boys. Loved the English hunting lodge. The owners are wonderful cooks and l loved the idea that they use mostly local food.....soups are delicious. Would love to come back and see Iceland in the daylight.

I will keep this simple. Loved it. Beautiful setting, quiet, clean, friendly and helpful staff, great food. And wi-fi. It was an easy drive early in the morning from Ensku husin to the airport, but we didn't want to leave.

The Ensku Husin was pure magic from the moment we arrived. The warm welcome, the comfy surroundings, the scrumptious meals (all local ingredients!) tugged at our hearts. The owners Anna and Hjorleifur were so charming, kind, and accommodating. One evening I wanted to make hot chocolate for my group and without hesitation their kitchen became my kitchen. Bottom line?

We arrived late, stayed there only in the dark, and I still can't possibly articulate how beautiful and comfortable everything was. We must have felt like an invading army (there were about 17 of us) but it was absolutely amazing, and the food was to die for. My mom is a professional chef, and I'm hard to please when it... More

Great food, cozy atmosphere and the owners (a darling couple) saved us by pulling us out of a ditch with their beefy tractor when we skidded off the driveway. I'd love to go back when it's light/warmer and explore the property and the river. Food was EXCELLENT too: herring, lamb, rhubarb/skyr dessert, salmon.......... :-)

A group of us stayed at this charming, cozy hotel for a weekend trip to Iceland to see the Aurora Borealis. We were warmly greeting by the innkeepers and told our room numbers. The rooms were fine with twin beds and each room had it's own thermostat and a modern bath room. Our beds had comforters with duvets, just the... More

I cannot described how much I liked the place: still very close to Borgarnes but with the feeling of being completely in the countryside. The view from the windows was completely amazing and the staff supernice and helpful, they explained us a lot of info on attractions close by. The house is old magic and with a lot of charme... More
