Holiday home in Hagvågen, near Leknes

Twenty square metres is the whole of it: one bedroom with a large double bed, a living room, a small kitchen and one bathroom, in a detached building with its own entrance. Booking.com gives it three stars and caps the bedroom at two guests, so this is a cabin for a couple and nobody else.

The kitchen runs to an oven, a hob, a fridge, a kettle and kitchenware — no dishwasher and no washing machine, which is worth knowing on a long stay. The bathroom is private, with a bath or shower and a hairdryer, and towels, bed linen and toilet paper are supplied.

Outside there is a terrace, and Booking.com records both a sea view and a mountain view. The cabin stands at Straum in the north of Vestvågøy, about 17.5 km from Leknes in a straight line and 3.8 km from Hagvågen, the nearest place name Kartverket registers.

Why stay here

A cabin for two on its own, with a terrace facing the sea, 20 km from Leknes airport and well away from the villages — and pets can come if you ask first.

Who it’s for

One couple. There is a single bedroom with one double bed, no cot and no extra bed, and the bedroom maximum is two. Anyone who wants a dishwasher or a washing machine should look elsewhere.
