Holiday home in Vestpollen, Hadsel municipality. Nearest in this guide: Svolvær

Vestpollen lies in Hadsel municipality, on the stretch of Austvågøya beyond the Lofoten guide's usual ground: 18 kilometres from Svolvær as the crow flies, though Booking.com's own mileage to the town square, measured by road, comes out at 43 km. The house is detached, stands in its own garden and looks out over it from a terrace.

Fifty-eight square metres hold one bedroom with two single beds, a living room where a single and a double make up the rest of the four beds, one bathroom with a shower, and a kitchen with a dishwasher, an oven, a hob, a microwave and a washing machine. Booking.com counts the house as sleeping five. A TV with cable channels, a radio and a DVD player are listed, and the whole house is non-smoking.

The letting runs through DanCenter, and two of its conditions matter. Electricity and water are normally billed by what you use, settled when you leave, and a NOK 800 damage deposit is taken in cash on arrival and returned within a fortnight if nothing is broken. The arrival window is half an hour wide — 16:00 to 16:30 — and departure falls between 09:30 and 10:00.

Why stay here

A whole house with a garden and a washing machine for the price bracket of a room, on the quiet water of Vestpollen, with the Svolvær road running past for day trips into Lofoten proper.

Who it’s for

A family of four or five who will drive everywhere and want somewhere to spread out and do laundry between hikes. Children of any age are taken, but no cot and no extra bed can be added, so a baby needs its own arrangement, and pets are refused.

Highlights

  • 58 m² detached house with its own garden and terrace
  • Sleeps five: a twin bedroom plus a single and a double in the living room
  • Kitchen with a dishwasher, an oven and a microwave; washing machine
  • Free WiFi throughout
  • Let through the DanCenter agency, with a cash damage deposit on arrival

Things to consider

Check-in is a thirty-minute window at 16:00, so a late ferry or a long drive needs arranging with the agency first. Power and water are charged on top of the rent according to what you use, and NOK 800 in cash is taken as a deposit when you arrive. Only one room is a bedroom — two of the five sleeping places are in the living room — and cots, extra beds and pets are all refused. The house is in Hadsel rather than in Lofoten proper, so allow driving time for Svolvær and the villages west of it.

The accommodation

One unit, listed as a One-Bedroom Holiday Home of 58 m² with four beds and room for five. The bedroom has two single beds; the living room holds a single and a double. One bathroom with a shower and a toilet. The house is detached with garden views from the terrace.
