Langaholt Guesthouse
Langaholt offers a magnificent view of the mysterious Snæfellsjökull Glacier. On a yellow sandy beach just a stone‘s throw away, birds of various kinds enjoy life while the odd seal peeks its head up from the waves only a few metres out. The landscape of Snæfellsnes Peninsula is amazingly varied. Volcanic activity of days long gone and the pounding of waves have created the remarkable surroundings of this bright and cosy bed and breakfast and its popular seafood restaurant.

Here, the chime of waterfalls and centuries past blend together. A good location for those who want to tour the fjord and the Snæfellsnes peninsula. Fun hikes along the river Langá.
