A few steps away from the cottages is an archaeological heritage site, a beautiful geothermal pool blessed by Gudmundur the Good in the 13th century (1161-1237).
Gudmundur (also nicknamed Gvendur) was a bishop at Holar. Guests can read about the pool and admire it, but bathing is strictly prohibited!
The adjacent Hotel Laugarholl offers accommodation, has a restaurant, and a swimming pool open to the public for a modest admittance fee. Please contact the reception in Laugarholl upon arrival if you wish to visit the pool or make use of Laugarholl’s services.
