Rorbu in Ballstad

Kræmmervikveien 83 lies inside Ballstad, on the south-west corner of Vestvågøy; Kartverket's registered point for the village is about 360 m away and the village centre 1 km off in a straight line. Booking.com calls the setting rural, types the building a holiday home, titles the bookable unit a Three-Bedroom Villa and names it a fisherman's cabin.

A hundred square metres are divided into three bedrooms. The first has a double and a large double bed; the other two have a large double each. Booking.com credits the cabin with four double beds and publishes a maximum of eight guests.

Two bathrooms serve the cabin, one of them holding a walk-in shower and a washing machine, and there is an additional toilet. A fireplace and a seating area make the living room; the kitchen has an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a microwave, a toaster, a coffee machine and a kettle. The balcony faces the sea, with mountains inland. WiFi and private parking are free.

Why stay here

A detached cabin at the water's edge in a working fishing village, with three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a fireplace — and a host who answers questions on the listing about fishing trips and the freezer.

Who it’s for

Three couples, or a family that wants doubles rather than bunks, cooking for themselves at Ballstad. Anglers are clearly the regular guests: the host has answered questions about boat trips and cold storage. No pets, no cot, and a credit card is needed for the deposit.
