Fjordview Ryten 1 Retreat

Rated 9.6 from forty guests, with a sauna, an EV charger, sea views and a detached house to yourselves 6.9 km from Fredvang.

A group of up to five, or a family with three children — the beds are all singles, so two adults sharing will need to ask whether any can be pushed together. Anyone driving an electric car will find a charger at the house.

Every bed is a single — five of them, three in one room and two in the other — so a couple has to ask whether beds can be joined. The sauna is charged separately at NOK 150 per person for two hours rather than included. The property takes a NOK 3,000 damage deposit by card on arrival, returning it within seven days of departure after an inspection. Arrival runs from 16:00 to 21:00 with your time given beforehand, and check-out is by 11:00. Quiet hours are 23:00 to 07:00, neither cots nor extra beds can be added, pets are not accepted, and hen and stag groups are refused.

One detached house of 85 m² with two bedrooms, a living room and one bathroom. The first bedroom holds three single beds and the second two — five singles, no double in the house — with maxima of three and two guests. The bathroom is private, with a bath or shower, a toilet, a hairdryer and towels; bed linen and toilet paper are supplied, the house has its own entrance and it is non-smoking.

A sauna, charged separately, with free WiFi, free private parking and an EV charging point at the house that the property confirms. Heating throughout, a flat-screen TV, a sofa, a seating area, a wardrobe and a dining table indoors. The kitchen holds an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a coffee machine, a tea and coffee maker, an electric kettle and kitchenware, with a washing machine. Outside there is a balcony and a terrace.

Self-catering, with a full kitchen, a dining table and a dining area. No breakfast, restaurant or bar is listed. Booking.com puts Lofotenmat Sa 40 km away, so shopping is done before you arrive.
