Holiday home in Skullbru, near Leknes

Himmelsteinveien 5 is at Skullbru, on the northern edge of Leknes. The detached house runs to 135 m², which is a lot of floor space for a holiday let, and Booking.com rates it three tiles with mountain views from the property.

Three bedrooms each hold one extra-large double bed, so six adults can sleep in pairs; one bathroom with a shower serves all of them. The kitchen has a dishwasher, oven, stovetop, microwave, kettle and coffee machine, and the living space has a sofa, a dining table and a flat-screen TV. No washing machine is listed.

One line of the listing deserves attention before you book: it puts Leknes Airport a few steps away. The house is on the airport's side of town, which is convenient for a flight and less so for a quiet night.

Why stay here

Floor space and three double rooms within reach of the town's shops, with free parking outside and a kitchen fitted well enough to cook for six. Two guests have rated the house, at 8.0 out of 10.

Who it’s for

Three couples, or a family that wants room to spread out with Leknes and its supermarkets a short drive away. Anyone sensitive to aircraft noise should think twice about how close the listing puts the airport.
