Wonderful Guest House -- But Only One Bathroom
The proprietor, Helga, was super-nice and helpful. She told us all about the history of the little town and what to expect on our drive around Iceland. The room was comfortable, with a truly spectacular view out the front window. But be aware: there are four bedrooms, and there's only ONE bathroom! We were fortunate to be the only couple there that night, but otherwise, contention for the bathroom would have been a hassle.

Fantastic place to stay
Private house with rooms in perfect condition, extremely comfortable and a view to kill for. Siglufjordur is a spectacular place, with a few great restaurants and places to enjoy a drink. Worth the detour.

I visited the Herring House for a couple of nights during the third week of March, 2023. Well, I suppose there are prettier towns than Siglufjördur, but I can’t think of any. It took a moment or two to adjust to my surroundings. The Herring House sits on a hill overlooking the magnificent mountains that frame the fjord. With a commanding view of the town and fjord, as well as the church and night sky, it was all rather magical. Helga and Dagur were as charming as they were helpful. They checked all of the usual boxes, with a clean comfortable room, a kitchen outfitted with the necessary tools to prepare your own meals, and a large bathroom with a great shower. I left Siglufjördur already making plans for a return visit to the Herring House, this time in a cabin with my wife. I can think of no higher complement to the folks who run the guest houses that make our travels so rewarding, than to visit them again and again. Helga and Dagur, thank you, and well done!

We had a perfect stay in a very beautiful place. Every detail in- and outside the cottage just fits perfectly to the whole atmosphere of the herring house. The owners provided exceptional service, the breakfast was delivered to our door and was on point. Up to this point, by far the best hotel on our island roundtrip. 10/10
