Gammelbutikken Guesthouse

A small guesthouse with a shared kitchen and a sea-view room, between Mortsund and Ballstad, where tours can be arranged and children are catered for.

Couples, small families and walkers who want a room rather than a whole house, and do not mind sharing a bathroom. One room has a private bathroom for those who do mind.

Three of the four rooms use shared bathrooms and toilets, and upper floors are reached by stairs only. Check-in starts at 18:00 with no closing time given, and check-out is by 11:00; nobody under 18 can check in. The cot and extra bed rules contradict each other: prices are quoted — NOK 200 a night for a cot, NOK 300 for an extra bed — alongside a line saying neither is available, so confirm before booking. Pets are not accepted, smoking and parties are not allowed and quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00. A host answer says there is no charge point for an electric car, with the nearest about 15 minutes away in Leknes.

Four room types: a Standard Double Room with Shared Bathroom at 9 m², a Triple Room with Sea View at 10 m², a Double Room with Private Bathroom at 12 m², and a Triple Room with Garden View at 10 m². Bed linen and towels are provided in every room, and interconnecting rooms can be arranged.

Upper floors are reached by stairs only.

Shared kitchen, shared bathroom and shared toilet, with one room taking its own bathroom. Heating, carpeted and parquet rooms, a wardrobe, a desk and a TV. Board games, children's books and DVDs, and a baby safety gate. Outside there is a terrace and a patio with sea, mountain, lake and garden views. WiFi and private parking are free, the guesthouse is non-smoking, and the owners arrange tours and handle check-in privately.

Self-catering in a shared kitchen holding a dishwasher, a microwave, a fridge, a hob and kitchenware, beside a dining table and dining area. No meals are listed.

Mortsundveien at Pettvik, as Booking.com gives the address; Kartverket names the settlement at this point Mortsund, in Vestvågøy. Ballstad, the nearest destination this guide covers, is about 4 km away in a straight line, and the guesthouse looks out over the sea and the mountains behind.

Booking.com gives Leknes Airport as 10 km from the guesthouse, Vestvågøy Rådhus as 10 km, Lofotenmat Sa as 13 km and Nusfjord as 37 km. Free private parking is on site; a host answer says the nearest public charger for an electric car is about 15 minutes away.
