Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

All very good and thank you.

We did get quite badly bitten overnight by what we think were Icelandic black flies (we were in a loft bedroom in one of the huts and this bedroom was more open as it didn't have a door). I'm not sure if the literature that you send talks about insect repellent but it might be worth highlighting that bug spray in the bedrooms is a good idea?

[In The Saddle - the insects in Iceland can be a nuisance and we do recommend a good quality insect repellent for your personal use, but I will ask the ride operator if they could provide a room spray.]

Gracina made this holiday. She was superb. As were also Tina and Shelti and chef Stefan. All so helpful, friendly and capable.
