- Selfoss, IcelandWhy it's cosy
Tucked into a remote South Iceland landscape where the owner's father has planted 100,000 trees over fifty years, this quietly special retreat welcomes guests with warm owners Oli and Anna, their two friendly sheepdogs, a varied organic breakfast with sweeping sunrise views, geothermal thermal baths fed by mineral-rich springs, and spacious rooms with large bathrooms and patio doors framing the countryside, though at least one guest has noted inconsistent service and unresolved maintenance issues worth bearing in mind.
- Selfoss, IcelandWhy it's cosy
Tucked into a remote Icelandic landscape of lava fields and roaming horses, Torfhús Retreat wins hearts through its turf-roofed chalets built to echo Iceland's historic vernacular, private basalt-stone hot pools steaming even in blizzard winds, a nightly four-course dinner of startlingly fresh, masterfully presented cuisine, and staff who will ring your room at half past one in the morning to make sure you don't miss the Northern Lights.

Lying in a heated bed beneath a transparent bubble dome, watching the aurora dance overhead in Iceland's ink-dark sky, this is the sort of stargazing experience that a handful of guests describe as quietly life-changing, though prospective visitors should note the shared facilities, the raw simplicity of the pods themselves, and the very real possibility that winter cold and icy paths may test their resolve.
- Selfoss, IcelandWhy it's cosy
