Cottage from 1850 in Ballstad

A detached cottage rather than a flat in a block, on one level, with a fireplace and a view of the sea, within a kilometre of the middle of Ballstad and 11 km from Leknes Airport by the listing's figure.

A couple, on the evidence of the one double bed the listing actually shows, though it is let to four. Everything is on the ground floor, which helps anyone who would rather not climb stairs. There is no WiFi on the facilities list, so people who need to work will want to check that first.

The bedroom count is contradictory — a Two-Bedroom Apartment in the unit title, one bedroom in the description and in the bed panel — and the one bedroom is capped at a single guest against a double bed, while the maximum published for the cottage is four. No WiFi appears on the facilities list. There is no oven or dishwasher, only a hob and a microwave. Check-in is from 17:00 with notice, cots, extra beds and pets are all refused, and children aged 18 and over are charged as adults.

One detached unit of 50 m², sold as a Two-Bedroom Apartment although the description and bed panel both show a single bedroom with one double bed. Booking.com publishes a maximum of four guests for it. There is one bathroom with a shower and a toilet, a seating area with a fireplace, a kitchenette and a private entrance; the whole unit is on the ground floor, with hardwood or parquet floors throughout.

Booking.com records the entire unit as being on the ground floor.

Free parking on site. Heating, a private entrance, a shower room with towels and toilet paper, and a kitchenette holding a hob, a microwave, a fridge, kitchenware and cleaning products. A washing machine, a dining table, a sofa, a fireplace and linen are listed. The house is non-smoking. No WiFi, television, oven or dishwasher appears on the facilities list.

Cooking runs off a kitchenette with a hob and a microwave; there is no oven and no dishwasher. A dining table is provided indoors. No breakfast, restaurant or bar is offered, and the listing gives no distance to a shop.

The cottage is at Kræmmervikveien 24 in Ballstad, 264 m from the settlement Kartverket registers under that name, in Vestvågøy municipality, and 0.9 km in a straight line from the point this guide uses for the village. Booking.com records the setting as rural and gives the cottage sea and mountain views.

Leknes Airport is given as 11 km away. The listing states no other distances.
