Haugteig

A whole chalet for up to five with a fireplace, a barbecue and mountain views, where linen and cleaning are yours to bring or to pay for rather than bundled into the rate.

Self-sufficient walkers, climbers and families of four or five with a car who do not mind bringing bedding and tidying up on the way out. Anyone after a sea view should look elsewhere — the outlook here is to the mountains.

Bed linen and towels are not in the rate: hire a set at NOK 100 a person or bring your own. Cleaning is either yours to do or a NOK 300 charge. The kitchen list carries a hob, fridge and kitchenware but no oven or dishwasher. Check-in runs from 16:00 to 23:30 and check-out from 06:30 to 11:00 — the property has confirmed that leaving around 07:00 for a flight is workable. No cots or extra beds are kept, pets are not accepted, parties are not allowed and hen or stag groups are turned away. No sea view is listed. Leknes Airport is given as 46 km, so a car is needed.

One chalet of 50 m², all on the ground floor, with a private entrance. Two bedrooms: a double bed in one, a single bed and two bunk beds in the other, four beds for up to five guests. A bathroom with a shower, plus an additional bathroom on the facilities list. Living room with a fireplace, sofa and dining area. No star rating on Booking.com.

The chalet is entirely on the ground floor.

Towels and sheets carry an extra fee.

Self-catering. The kitchen has a hob, fridge, kitchenette fittings, kitchenware and a dining table; no oven or dishwasher appears on the list. A barbecue and an outdoor dining area sit outside. No meals are served.
