Haukland Beach View – Superior Cabin

Hauklandstranda is put at 2.5 km, which is close enough to be at the beach before the coach parties and back for lunch. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms mean a big group is not queuing for the shower, and two separate living rooms give people somewhere to go when the weather keeps everyone indoors. A fireplace and a children's high chair are both listed.

Larger groups and families — the whole chalet is sold as one unit, with two double rooms and two twin rooms. The high chair and the cot available on request suit a family with a baby, though no extra bed can be added for an older child.

Booking.com sells the chalet for up to ten people, but the bed list adds up to six — two doubles and two pairs of singles — so settle the sleeping arrangements with the property before booking for a large group. The listing also states both that the whole unit is wheelchair accessible and that upper floors are reached by stairs only; those two cannot both be true of the same rooms, so ask. Check-in does not open until 17:00 and check-out is 10:00. Children aged four and over pay the adult rate, no extra bed is possible, and pets are refused. Eight reviews is a thin basis for a 9.8.

One unit of 110 m², sold whole as a Superior Chalet. Four bedrooms: two with a double bed and two with a pair of single beds. Two bathrooms, one of which has a walk-in shower, plus an additional toilet. Two living rooms, a seating area, a dining area, a wardrobe, and towels and linen provided.

The listing states that the entire unit is wheelchair accessible and, separately, that upper floors are reached by stairs only. Confirm with the property which rooms are step-free before booking.

Air conditioning and heating, with WiFi and parking outside at no charge. The kitchen has a dishwasher, oven, hob, refrigerator, toaster, kettle, kitchenware and a tea and coffee maker; there is a washing machine, an iron and a drying rack. A fireplace, flat-screen TV and children's high chair are listed. Outside are a terrace, outdoor furniture, an outdoor dining area and a garden. The chalet is non-smoking.

Self-catering. The kitchen is fitted for cooking properly and there is a dining table indoors and an outdoor dining area on the terrace. No breakfast or restaurant is offered; Lofotenmat Sa is listed at 10 km.

The chalet stands on Vågaveien at Vik, on the road north from Leknes towards the Haukland and Uttakleiv beaches, in Vestvågøy municipality. Kartverket registers Vik as a grend 1.9 km from the coordinates, and the point this guide uses for Leknes is 5.2 km away in a straight line. The setting is recorded as rural.

Booking.com gives Hauklandstranda Beach as 2.5 km from the chalet, Lofotenmat Sa as 10 km, Vestvågøy Rådhus and Leknes Airport as 11 km each, and Borga Radarstasjon and Nusfjord as 28 km each.
