Why stay here

Heimbrygga is described as the oldest brygge still in use on Skrova, restored in the 1990s, and the restaurant in the same building buys from local suppliers where it can. The rooms share a living room with kitchen facilities and a view over the water, and the house can be taken whole for long stays at a reduced rate.

Who it’s for

Small groups who book the whole floor, and people planning weekly or monthly stays, which the owners market directly.

Highlights

  • 200-year-old brygge beside the Skrova ferry dock
  • Heimbrygga restaurant in the same building
  • Rooms bookable individually or as a whole house
  • Open all year, with long-stay rates

Things to consider

The two bathrooms are shared, and Visit Lofoten notes that sound insulation is basic, so it can be noisy while the restaurant is open. The owners advise against bringing a car because parking on the island is limited.
