Company information

I have currently Englendingavík ,,restaurant beside the homestey ,,, open all year. The homestey is located in a old building,, therefore it is easy to hear the other guests , and the rooms are quiet small. If the guests need any help they can go to the staff of the restaurant and ofcorse call me at 8968926, I live in the area. There is allso a Toy museum in the Pakkhús beside the restaurant and you are welcome to come there.

Property information

In the old part of Borgarnes town (village) lies a beautiful bay , called "Englendingavík". The name interestingly enough means "The Englishman Bay". This place is both scenic and peaceful, where silence is only broken by the sound of birds and the ever changing sea. The old buildings standing at the bottom of the bay used to be the region´s center for trade and commerce but now they are housing the restaurant with attached lodging facilities. Besides the restaurant is a separate building called Sjávarborg ("City of the Sea"), offering first rate home lodgings. The oldest building was constructed in 1885 but all the buildings were thoroughly renovated 10 years ago.

Neighbourhood information

In Englendingavik we have the greatest scenery, view over the sea and all the bird life so walking around is nice. Our neighbor is Bjössaróló which is homemade playground for kids. There is also a short walk to the swimming pool in Borgarnes which is one of the best ones.
