Við Lónið Guesthouse
Við Lónið – guesthouse, is located in Seydisfjordur’s historic heart, overlooking the picturesque mountains, the amazing rainbow street, the old houses and the unique lagoon. The house sits on the lagoon bank with shops, restaurants and the beautiful Blue church, only a few steps away.
The house was built in 1907 by Tryggvi Gudmundsson. It´s one of the beautiful ready-made kit form houses, imported from Norway in the early 19th century. In the statuesque house, Tryggvi lived with his family and ran a little shop in a corner on the first floor. His daughter, Nina Tryggvadottir was born in the house and she became one of Iceland’s most renowned artists.
The house is a landmark in Seyðisfjörður’s shopping and service history. It´s taken on many different roles, i.e. clothing and convenience store, art studio, home decor shop, café and it was the first diner in town to sell burgers and fries.
The second floor mostly served as home for the owners but at one time it was renovated for offices. With all these functional changes, the original façade, inner structure and windows were not preserved.
Time for new beginnings!
We decided to start our own family business, rolled up our sleeves, on a mission to restore the house to the original early 19th century look with some improvements for our guests and hopefully reclaim the title as one of Seydisfjordur’s most beautiful historic house After long winter and a lot of hard work we welcomed our first guests in July 2016.
We hope you enjoy your stay with us!
