Skálakot Manor Hotel & Farm first started back in 1985, when owners Jóhanna and Guðmundur bought the land from the grandparents of Guðmundur. Starting out as a humble farm in the Eyjafjöll area, Skálakot has grown into a dedicated tour operator, luxury accommodation, while still remaining as a fully functioning horse and sheep farm. Pretty impressive!
