Peaceful Home with Ocean Views in Elduvík

Our stay here was a true highlight of our trip. We first stayed in another cottage in Elduvík, but loved the village so much we moved over to this larger cottage and extended our stay another 3 days. The fairytale village of Elduvík is in a stunning location, and Danjal’s cottage occupies a prime position at the edge of it with breathtaking views of the ocean and the sheer rocky flank of neighboring Kalsoy island. You are located right at the start of a flat path leading to a gorge where we enjoyed cold plunges and watched a seal which loves to be sung to! Elduvik is the perfect base for day trips to all the highlights (Saksun, Tjornuvik, Gjogv, Kalsoy lighthouse, northern islands) and even hikes that start right from the village. The Bonus supermarket in Oyrarbakki is only 20 min. away, where you can find anything you want. Even popular hikes on Vagar were only 45 min. away. But we often didn't want to leave Elduvik! The cottage itself was stunning inside and out. The stonemasonry around the house is a work of art. The kitchen is large and very well equipped. We cooked several successful meals and we even made arrangements with the owner to cook for us one night (if he's available, I highly recommend it! The lamb and salmon were to die for.) The stunning views from the large windows in the living room and study look directly onto the ocean. Comfy beds, a golden wood interior that glows, it was a dream. We were only 2 people, but hope to return with friends and family. This large home could easily fit two families. The modern extension in the back has another kitchen, and a large room with a piano and an amazing sound system. We did yoga in there on a rainy day. Book Danjal's cottage and stay as long as you possibly can.

Jeg havde fornøjelsen af at leje huset. Det var en positiv oplevelse. Beliggenheden var helt i top. Huset ligger i et ekstraordinært naturområde. Direkte udsigt til havet, traditionelle bygd-huse og god adgang til vandrestier. Huset i sig selv fungerede fint som opholdssted og base for arbejde. Det er et sted, som jeg varmt kan anbefale til dem, der værdsætter ro, natur og et hus, der er egnet til arbejde og afslapning.

Der er flere kilometer til den nærmeste indkøbssted, så madindkøb skal planlægges. Det er svært at komme til bygden med offentlige transportmidler, så besøg kræver lejebil eller anden transport.
