Rorbu in Offersøya, near Leknes

Offersøya lies about 4 km from Leknes in a straight line, and this cabin is 300 metres from its beach with the sea in front of the balcony. Fifty square metres hold two bedrooms — a bunk room and a double — plus a living room with a sofa bed, which is how it reaches six people.

One bathroom with a shower serves the cabin. The kitchen is fitted with an oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge, kettle and coffee machine, there is a washing machine, and the living room has a flat-screen television, a sofa and a dining area. Towels, linen and a hairdryer are provided.

Dogs stay here, which is worth noting on a coast where most self-catering refuses them. Against that, a NOK 3,000 damage deposit is taken on a credit card when you arrive and refunded within a week of leaving, and quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00.

Why stay here

A cabin by the beach at Offersøya that sleeps six, takes dogs, and puts the sea straight in front of the balcony, about 4 km from Leknes in a straight line.

Who it’s for

A family of up to six, or two couples, who want a beach on the doorstep and do not mind a small footprint or a single bathroom. Dog owners are among the few welcome here.
