HOTEL

The 200-year-old farm at Drangshlið, 3km west of Skógar, has had a spate of building of
late. The best of the comfortable, if somewhat utilitarian, rooms are in the back building
where rooms are larger, some with pasture views. The restaurant (open 6pm to 9pm), was
also expanded, accommodating the tour-bus crowd. Book on Icelandic Farm Holidays
