Live Like a Local in Leknes

This is a base for people whose days are spent driving — Leknes sits in the middle of the archipelago, and from here the town's shops, its airport and the E10 in both directions are all minutes away rather than a fjord's length. Six people, three bedrooms, a fireplace and a dog allowed is a combination that is hard to find this close to town.

Families and groups of up to six, particularly anyone bringing a dog. The twin room and two double rooms divide a group cleanly. A cot is free for a child under three, though no extra bed is possible.

One bathroom for six is the obvious constraint. Check-in is 16:00–23:00 and the property wants your arrival time in advance; check-out runs 08:00 to 11:00. No extra bed can be added, though a cot is free for a child up to three. The house is non-smoking, parties are not allowed and hen and stag groups are refused. No guest score has been posted for this listing yet.

One detached unit of 90 m² sold as a three-bedroom house for six. One bedroom has two single beds and the other two have a double bed each. There is one bathroom with a shower, plus a private entrance, a seating area, a dining area and a dining table. Linen, towels and free toiletries are provided.

The WiFi costs nothing and so does the parking outside. The kitchen has a dishwasher, oven, hob, refrigerator, kettle and a tea and coffee maker, with a washing machine, tumble dryer, clothes rack and drying rack. Heating and a fan, a fireplace, a flat-screen TV and a carbon monoxide detector are listed. There is a garden, and the house is non-smoking and detached.

Self-catering, with a fitted kitchen, a dining table and a dining area. No breakfast, restaurant or bar at the property. Lofotenmat Sa is given as 4.6 km away.
