Why stay here

Å is often described as the best-preserved fishing village in Lofoten, and most of these cabins date from the early 1900s, when they housed fishermen. Some stand on stilts in the sea. Cabins range from 30 m² one-bedroom units to large three-bedroom cabins for eight, and the Moskenes ferry is 5.3 km away.

Who it’s for

  • Families

The two- and three-bedroom cabins are described as suited to families and groups of friends. The rooms with shared bathrooms in Salteriet and above Brygga Restaurant are an option for those who don't need a kitchen.

Highlights

  • Most cabins date from the early 1900s
  • Brygga Restaurant and Lobbybar & Bistro on site
  • Free wifi and parking

Things to consider

Cabins differ, and not all have sea or mountain views, so ask when booking if the view matters. The hotel rooms share bathrooms (11 rooms share four), and some cabins have no kitchenette.

The accommodation

Also double rooms on the pier above Brygga Restaurant and rooms in Salteriet, a former fish-salting building, with shared bathrooms. The site gives 20–22 cabins and nine hotel rooms.
