Holiday home in Eggum, near Leknes

Eggum looks north across open water, which is why the house takes its name from the midnight sun; whether you see it depends on the season, the weather and the cloud, and the listing promises nothing. What it does record is sea views from the balcony, an outdoor dining area and a fireplace for the other nine months.

Four bedrooms hold seven beds: two singles in one, two singles and a bunk bed in another, a double in the third and a large double in the fourth, with eight guests the stated maximum. One bathroom serves them. The kitchen has a dishwasher, an oven, a hob, a microwave, a kettle and a fridge, and there is a washing machine, an iron, a flat-screen TV and a private entrance.

The timings are kinder than most: arrival from midday, departure between 12:00 and 13:00, so a long drive at either end is easier to plan. Pets are refused, smoking is not allowed and no cot or extra bed can be added. No internet is listed.

Why stay here

Eight sleeping places facing the Atlantic at Eggum, with a fireplace, a balcony over the sea and a midday check-in that suits a ferry or a long drive. The coastal path and the old radar station at Borga are both close.

Who it’s for

A large family or two households sharing, with children who will take the bunk beds. Bring your own entertainment: there is no internet listed, no shop at Eggum, and the nearest supermarkets are in Bøstad and Leknes.

Things to consider

Booking.com gives the floor area as 15 m² for a four-bedroom house, which cannot be right, and caps each bedroom at one guest while setting the property maximum at eight — the numbers on this listing do not hold together, so confirm the size and the sleeping plan directly. No internet is listed, pets are refused, and no cot or extra bed can be added. Eggum is 23 km from Leknes on a road that ends at the village, so a car is needed.

The accommodation

One unit, listed as a Four-Bedroom House with seven beds and a stated maximum of eight guests. The bedrooms hold two single beds; two singles and a bunk bed; a double bed; and a large double. There is one bathroom, a dining area and a private entrance. Booking.com's floor area of 15 m² is not consistent with the rest of the listing and is not repeated here.
