Héradsskólinn Guesthouse

This is located in Laugarvatn.

Here's the description from the website.

Located in the heart of the Golden Circle, only an hour away from Reykjavik. Built in 1928 by one of the most loved politicians in Iceland with a great help from the most amazing architect to be a center of culture and education, Héraðsskólinn was the place were Halldór Laxness our Nobel prize winning writer wrote his most famous book Independent People in Room 12 on the 3rd floor of the building.

The school was redecorated in 2013 with mostly original furniture and pieces to restore its amazing history and culture for our guests.

I was very pleased to stay here with a group in April this year, and enjoyed the accommodation and the food very much. They also have an excellent library to browse, as well as serving a nice pint of Gull.
