Guesthouse Árból
Árból is a particularly beautiful and pleasent guest house located by the stream Búðará in the west corner of the village park.
The house was built in 1903 and there is an aura of warmth and refinement about it which reflects its long and proud history as a residence for the district governor.
The rooms, which accommodate 1-4 persons and have all undergone a thorough restoration, truly add to the pleasant atmosphere of the house.
