Fishermans Rorbu 2

The water is the point here. Boats and bicycles can be hired from the host and fishing trips arranged with or without a guide, and a bus stop stands within walking distance, which counts if you are not driving. The apartment itself is small, heated and on one level, with a washing machine and a shower room of its own.

Couples, or pairs of walkers and anglers who want somewhere plain and inexpensive with a kitchenette, at ground level and near a bus stop. Children of any age may stay, though no cot or extra bed can be added and children of four and over are charged as adults.

Booking.com sells the apartment for four while naming two single beds in the one bedroom, so check where a third and fourth would sleep. This is a kitchenette rather than a kitchen — a hob, a kettle and a microwave, with no oven and no dishwasher. Pets are not taken, no cot or extra bed is available, and hen and stag parties are refused. Check-in runs from 17:00 to 23:30 with your arrival time sent ahead, and check-out is by 10:00. A hot tub appears in the description of a neighbouring unit; asked about it, the host said it is a traditional outdoor tub usable in good conditions, not a fitting in the bathroom.
