Sodulsholt is a working horse training and conditioning farm on the Snaefellsnes peninsula that includes over 70 horses, horse stables, and a first class indoor riding facility on more than 1300 hectares (3,200 acres). We are located 2 hours from Keflavik International Airport and approximately 40 minutes northwest of the town of Borgarnes.

Our accommodations include cottages that sleep 4 people comfortably. Cottage includes Wifi (for email, internet browsing), a double mattress, 2 twin beds, full kitchen (including microwave, toaster, coffee machine, refrigerator), sitting area, bathroom with shower, and outside seating area. Fresh linens are provided. Do you prefer to grill? A "Weber" grill is available for your use.

Sodulsholt serves as a central location to explore the beautiful surroundings of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, including the Eldborg Volcanic Crater, a nearby geothermal pool, Gullborgarhraun Lava field (formed by the Gullborg volcano 7000 to 9000 years ago and referenced in the Icelandic Sagas), the village of Stykkisholmur, Arnarstapi/Hellnar and the Snaefellsjokull glacier.

Foal season typically runs from May through September when we welcome additional foals into the Sodulsholt family. June features our sleppitur event when the horses are let out for the summer.

Experienced horsemen could reserve a horse for riding around the area including to the nearby beaches (extra fee). Our property also includes a river where you can test your skills at catching fresh Icelandic salmon (extra fee, summer only, bring your own sanitized gear). Horse riding is not possible between November 1 and March 1.

Our Snaefellsnes location is ideal for observing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) as they can be seen from October through March.

Perfect

Sodulsholt was perfect for our family of 4. The cottages are warm, comfortable and very well thought out. I was particularly thankful that there was an extra sleeping mat up in the loft. My children are young and were a little nervous about being alone upstairs. I was able to lay right up there with them. We loved riding the horses even though it was a very windy day. The trainers were kind enough to take us for a short ride outside. We stayed here on the end of our trip and between the windy conditions and our children being tired of traveling, we skipped most of our Snæfellsnes touring plans and just stayed around the farm, visiting the horses and playing with the dogs. It was the perfect place to relax and just enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Why they chose this property

This large property (over 1300 hectares or 3,200 acres) has it all, including 4 NEW Cottages! The view of the mountains, ocean, and free grazing horses are spectacular. We are conveniently located with easy access to the many sights that Snaefellsnes peninsula has to offer and more. The cottages were built in September 2015. I invite you to come for a visit and to take in the beauty of the area. The property includes a private river where guests may fish for salmon (extra fee).
