Rorbu in Offersøya, near Leknes

Cabin number 25 at Skreda on the Offersøyveien: the host calls it a rorbu, and Booking.com sells it as a two-bedroom house of 45 m² let whole. Everything is on the ground floor.

One bedroom holds a double, the other a bunk bed, and the listing counts two beds between them. A sitting room with a sofa and a television, a kitchen holding a dishwasher, an oven, a hob, a microwave, a fridge, a kettle and a toaster, and one bathroom with a shower make up the rest. A washing machine is on hand — asked whether laundry was possible, the host said it is.

Outside there is a terrace and a patio with furniture, an outdoor dining area and a barbecue. The listing records sea and mountain views, an inner courtyard, and Offersøya Beach 300 metres away.

Why stay here

A small rorbu on one level with the sea in sight and a beach a few minutes' walk off, close enough to Leknes and its airport for a short stay but well clear of the town.

Who it’s for

  • Families

A couple, or a couple with a child in the bunk room, who will cook and want a beach nearby. The single-level layout suits anyone avoiding stairs; the tight bed count and the extra-bed charge mean bigger parties should look elsewhere.

Highlights

  • 45 m² rorbu, two bedrooms, all on the ground floor
  • Sea and mountain views from the terrace
  • Offersøya Beach given as 300 metres away
  • Kitchen with dishwasher and oven, plus a washing machine
