Holiday home in Ballstad

Kræmmarvikveien climbs away from the harbour at Ballstad, and this house stands on it, detached, with its own entrance and a terrace looking out at the water and the mountains behind it. Booking.com measures the unit at 100 m².

Three bedrooms carry four beds: a single and a double in the first, a double in the second and a double in the third, for seven people by Booking.com's own room limits. The two bathrooms are not equal — the property has explained that the big one downstairs holds a shower as well as a toilet, while the upstairs one has only a toilet. One shower, then, for the whole party.

The kitchen runs to an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a kettle, a coffee machine and kitchenware, with a washing machine behind them. A flat-screen TV, a sofa, a seating area and a dining area fill the living room. Arrival is between 16:00 and 21:00 with your time given beforehand, and you leave by 11:00.

Why stay here

A detached house a short walk above one of Ballstad's working harbours, with three bedrooms, a sea-view terrace and hiking from the door — Booking.com puts Leknes Airport 12 km away and Vestvågøy Rådhus at the same distance.

Who it’s for

Two or three couples, or a family with older children, who will cook for themselves and do not mind queueing for one shower. Pets are accepted on request. Larger groups have an option: the property has told guests that a second cabin of its own can be booked alongside this one.

Things to consider

Only one of the two bathrooms has a shower; the upstairs one is a toilet alone, as the property has confirmed to a guest. NOK 4,000 goes on a credit card at arrival as a refundable damage deposit, handed back within seven days of departure once the house has been looked over. Quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00 and hen or stag groups are refused. Booking.com's room limits add up to seven guests, while the property has answered a group of eight by saying there is space for them — agree the number before booking. Children of 18 and over pay adult rates. Pets need prior agreement and may carry a charge. No fishing boat comes with the house: the property has twice said it does not rent boats.

The accommodation
