Our family of four had a good time on the standard tour with Hella Horse Rental this afternoon. The operation is well run, the horses were in good shape and the guide was solid. Very convenient access (right off the Ring Road just south of Hella), super easy to find. We recommend this activity and this business!

Herridarholl

Reviewed By TheInnOnThird - St. Petersburg, United States

We spent a little less than a week at Herridarholl in one of the two little houses on the River Pjorsa and loved every minute of it. The place is amazingly serene, with horses and sheep all around you. Our house was spotless and very well appointed. Whatever we could have needed was there. The beds were super comy, and it was just overall very welcoming and homey. Even though it was pretty cold for us Floridians (June, in the low 50s during the day, with the windchill brining the feel like temp closer to the low 40s) the house stayed toasty warm without needing to turn on the radiators. The owners, a German/Icelandic couple and the German girls working there over the summer were welcoming and a pleasure to be around. Our highlight was going for our morning trail rides. Lotte (if I remember her name correctly) was an amazing guide, and great with our kids. The horses were fantastic and I fell madly in love with my ride, Gassi. Herridarholl is approximately a 1/2 hour drive from Selfoss, the next "big" town, where you can find at least two supermarkets. We did several half day trips with our rental car, heading out in the afternoon and taking advantage of the long summer days. The big waterfalls in the area (Gulfoss, Skogafoss and Sjelandsfoss), the Geysirs, Kerid Crater, and the Valley of Reykjadalur are all within an hours drive. We even made it as far east as Reynisfjara Beach and Dyholaey Cliff, though this was done as part of an all day trip. There is so much amazing nature to see and experience, we wish we could have stayed longer. It turned out to be an amazing base for our time in Iceland and we hope to be able to come back someday...
