Ytra Lón Farm & Retreat is located at a working sheep and horse farm 14 km northeast of Þórshöfn. We offer accommodation in 9 comfortable spacious studios with private bathroom.
Our area is known for its birdlife and quiet, Langanes, in the far North East of the country. In the winter it’s blanketed with snow, in the spring it’s teeming with birds and in the summer it’s covered with flowers.
At Ytra Lón you can take tours of the local area, stay in our studios and enjoy a restful retreat.

The Langanes peninsula is known for its rich birdlife, and very good birdwatching spots where it is possible to watch the Gannet and Brünnichs Guillermot from land. On this tour we take you to abandoned farms and tell you stories about shipwreck, the village Skálar that was abandoned in the 1950s, birdlife, farmlife and other curiousities.
