Holiday home in Ballstad

Ballstad is a working fishing harbour on the south-west corner of Vestvågøy, and this house sits in it at 22 Øyaveien, 0.7 km from the centre of the village. It runs to 160 m² and is let whole.

Four bedrooms hold nine beds, all of them singles apart from one double: two singles, a double, two singles again, and four singles in the largest room. Two bathrooms take the pressure off, and there is a fireplace, a dining area, a television carrying cable channels, and board games in the cupboard. Laundry is covered by a washing machine and a tumble dryer.

The listing records sea views from the terrace and lake views from the balcony, with the garden and mountains beyond, and Booking.com shows the property at four stars. Its rules are firmer than most: arrivals are taken from 18:00, departure falls in a half-hour window, and the minimum age for the person checking in is 25.

Why stay here

A large, well-equipped house inside a real fishing village, with two bathrooms, a fireplace and nine beds, and the sea and the mountains on either side of it.

Who it’s for

  • Families

A family or a group of friends of nine or fewer, old enough to meet the 25-year minimum for the booking, who want to be in Ballstad rather than on a road outside it. The single beds outnumber the doubles, so it reads more as a group house than a couples' retreat.

Things to consider
