Wanted to visit Iceland again.....but!

[mulch]

I didn't know whether to put this in locations or on here as it's perhaps more of a moan and exasperated eye opener!
Having been to Iceland on five occasions from 2008 to 2014, I've just seen some reasonable flights with Icelandic-air (probably the best airline we have been with on any holiday) we thought another visit in late October would be nice, which we have done before and can be a lovely time to visit....if your lucky with the weather.
Our last visit was in March 2014, we stayed 6 nights in a Grundarfjordur hotel costing £650 including B&B and six evening meals for two, just checked six nights for B&B at the same hotel £1150...yikes! yes I know Iceland is riding a wave of success over the last few years.....but! Tried another hotel we have stayed at on three occasions in Myvatn and similar story. Not bothered to check car hire as I think it's now a no from us, which is a big shame as we both love the island. I know on TP Iceland is a big attraction and just wondered if anyone has similar thoughts/findings or is it just me being unrealistic and perhaps we were just lucky to have enjoyed Iceland before the 'mad rush'........which does seem to have come very quickly.
PS....please excuse any bad gamma as I'm useless at writing and getting worse in my old age.

The pound has tanked against most other currencies, that will account for a lot of the price hike.

back in 2015 the reat was 205 now it is 125
So it will cost you just under double what it did then.

Of course, the exchange rate now is about where it was 10 years ago, and we were definitely in the EU then

Yes we were and that is because over the last 10 years the EU has been fantastic for the UK.

Out=we are screwed when it comes to buying anything else in the known world
but don't let that get in the way.
