Gammelstua Seaview Lodge

A house on the shore with a hot tub, a fireplace and a terrace facing the water, plus services a private let rarely carries: an airport shuttle for a fee, grocery delivery and packed lunches for the day.

A couple or a small family who want the shore to themselves and are happy driving to Leknes for anything else; the shuttle also makes it workable for anyone flying in without a car. Not for dog owners — pets are refused — and not for anyone needing a cot or an extra bed.

No cot and no extra bed are available, pets are refused, parties are not allowed, and smoking is banned. Check-in is 16:00 to 23:00 with advance notice of your time, and check-out is 11:00. No bathroom count is given. The house stands on the Valberg road well away from Leknes, so a car — or the paid shuttle — is needed.

One unit of 110 m², listed as a Three-Bedroom House with five beds: two bedrooms of two single beds each and one with a large double. Booking.com publishes a maximum of six guests. Towels, linen and slippers are supplied. The listing gives no bathroom count, though a shower, a toilet and a hairdryer are among the facilities.

Free WiFi, private parking at no charge, air conditioning, heating, hardwood or parquet floors, a private entrance and a hot tub. The kitchen holds an oven, a stovetop, a dishwasher, a microwave, a toaster, a fridge, a kettle, a coffee machine and kitchenware; there is also a washing machine, an iron and a drying rack. Outside: a terrace, a patio, outdoor furniture and an outdoor dining area, with the sea in one direction and the garden and mountains in the other. Board games are provided for indoor days.

Self-catering, with a fitted kitchen and a dining table. Beyond that the property will deliver groceries, supply wine or champagne and make up packed lunches to take out. No restaurant or bar on site.

985 Valbergsveien at Kongsjorda, in Vestvågøy municipality on the island's northern coast, with the beach at the door. Booking.com's own district name is used for the locality here, there being no closer registered settlement name. The guide's centre point for Leknes is 12.9 km away in a straight line.

Booking.com lists Leknes Airport at 19 km, Vestvågøy Rådhus at 18 km and Nusfjord at 46 km. The property runs an airport shuttle for a fee, which is worth arranging in advance; otherwise this is a drive.
