Anker Brygge
Rorbu cabins and suites on Lamholmen, a small island in Svolvær harbour, around a former fish factory that now holds Restaurant Kjøkkenet, the Bryggebaren bar and suites. The site dates the main building to about 1860, though one line on its restaurant page says 1880.
Why stay here
The cabins stand on the quays of Lamholmen, which the property puts 150 to 200 metres from Svolvær's town square, and guests can park on the island. The main building once held fish landing and storage, a salting plant and a barrel-making workshop, and now houses Restaurant Kjøkkenet and Bryggebaren. Breakfast is included in all rates, with separate terms over Christmas.
Who it’s for

Rorbusuite 215 has three double bedrooms and is let as a whole unit.

Things to consider
Most rorbusuites have two bedrooms behind a shared entrance that can be booked singly or together; if you book one, the other stays locked. Bryggebaren runs a music quiz and karaoke on Wednesdays, often has live music or a DJ at weekends, and stays open until 01:00 on Wednesdays and 02:30 on Fridays and Saturdays; the big suites' balconies face its outdoor area. The main-building suites are on the third floor with no lift, and Rorbusuite 216 is reached by an outdoor staircase. The restaurant and bar are closed on Sundays.
The accommodation
27 units: rorbusuites, family rorbuer and suites. A standard rorbusuite has a living room with kitchenette, a queen-bed room downstairs and a twin room upstairs, each with its own bathroom, and a quay terrace. Rorbusuite 215 has three double bedrooms and two bathrooms; 216 has two double bedrooms, one bathroom and a skylight. The front page says the main building holds 3 suites, while the accommodation pages list big suites, superior suites (both described as two similar suites on the third floor) and a junior suite.
