The walk from Arnarstapi to Hellnar (or Hellnar to Arnarstapi) is a great short hike (~2.5km) right off the ring road on Snæfellsnes Peninsula.  In Arnarstapi the trail is marked to the right off the main path past the stone monument and  follows the cliffside.  The return trip on the lava splattered trail exposes the mountains and the cliffs from all new angles.

What could be improved is the flexibility shown in exceptional circumstances. We were unable to reach the cottage due to a snowstorm, and a partial refund would have been a reasonable gesture of goodwill. Policies serve their purpose from a business standpoint, but an occasional act of understanding ...

A great coastline with walking trail and beach. Arnarstapi included an area with some food trucks and is the take off point for adventures to the nearby glacier and national park.
