Ballstad Mountain Panorama

Four double bedrooms under one roof within a kilometre of Ballstad harbour, with a kitchen set up for cooking, laundry machines, a terrace and a view that takes in water and mountains at once.

Two or three couples travelling together, or a family that wants a room each, within the six the house takes. One bathroom between four bedrooms is the limit on the party size in practice, and the 09:00 to 10:00 departure window suits people who are up and out early rather than lingering over breakfast.

The house is let to six at most although it holds four double beds, and Booking.com caps two of those bedrooms at one guest each, so a party of eight is not on offer. Four bedrooms share one bathroom, though there is a second toilet. Check-out falls between 09:00 and 10:00 — early, and a fixed window rather than a deadline — while arrival runs from 17:00 to midnight with your time sent ahead. No cot and no extra bed can be added, pets are not allowed, smoking is not allowed and parties and hen or stag groups are ruled out. The 9.2 score comes from five reviews, a very small base.

One holiday home of 90 m², let whole, with soundproofing and a private entrance. Four bedrooms, each with a large double bed, four beds in all; Booking.com publishes a maximum of six guests and caps two of the rooms at one guest and two at two. One private bathroom with a bath, a walk-in shower, a toilet and a hairdryer, plus an additional toilet. Towels, toilet paper and bed linen are included, floors are tile or marble and hardwood or parquet, and there are wardrobes, clothes racks and sockets by the beds.

Heating, soundproofing and a private entrance. A washing machine, an iron, ironing facilities, a drying rack and cleaning products cover laundry and housekeeping. The living room has a sofa, a seating area, a dining area and a flat-screen TV. Outside are a patio and a terrace with outdoor furniture, and sea, lake, garden, river and mountain views are all recorded. WiFi and private parking are free.

Self-catering, with nothing served on site. The kitchen holds an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a toaster, an electric kettle, a coffee machine, a tea and coffee maker and kitchenware, with a dining table and a dining area. Booking.com puts Lofotenmat Sa 10 km away.
