Lofoten Beach Eggum Cabin

A house on the beach at Eggum with a fireplace, a barbecue and play equipment outside, and no fixed arrival or departure hour — the last of those matters when the drive from Bodø or Narvik runs late.

Families and groups who want the shore rather than a village: the play equipment, the barbecue and the sofa bed point that way. Anyone wanting a sea view from indoors should ask, because the listing records only garden and mountain views. Pets are not allowed.

Booking.com allows one guest in each of the three sleeping spaces although there are four beds between them; the figure it publishes for the house is five. Towels and sheets appear as an item carrying an extra fee as well as among the things provided, so ask whether bedding costs more. Although this is a beachfront house, the only views Booking.com records are of the garden and the mountains. Your arrival time still has to be sent in advance even though check-in is round the clock. No cot and no extra bed can be added, pets are not allowed and smoking is not allowed. Booking.com takes the payment for the stay, so carry cash for anything extra at the house. Eggum is 18 km from Leknes, so shop before you arrive.

One detached house of 70 m², let whole, with a private entrance. Two bedrooms — two single beds in one, a double in the other — and a sofa bed in the living room, four beds in all, with a published maximum of five guests although Booking.com caps each space at one on its room breakdown. One bathroom with a shower, a toilet, a hairdryer, towels and toilet paper. Linen is listed, and towels and sheets also appear as an item with an extra fee.

A fireplace, a sofa, a seating area, a flat-screen TV carrying streaming services and a radio indoors, with a washing machine, cleaning products and hand sanitiser. Outside are a balcony, a patio, a terrace with outdoor furniture, an outdoor dining area, a barbecue, a garden, outdoor play equipment and a private beach area. WiFi and private parking are free, the house is detached and non-smoking, and Booking.com describes it as beachfront.

Self-catering, with barbecue facilities and an outdoor dining area as well as the kitchen. The kitchen has an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a toaster, an electric kettle, a tea and coffee maker and a dining table. Nothing is served on site and Booking.com puts Lofotenmat Sa 27 km away.

Eggumsveien at Eggum, on the exposed north coast of Vestvågøy in Vestvågøy municipality. Kartverket's registered point for Eggum is about 80 m from the map pin, so the house stands in the hamlet. Leknes lies 18.1 km away in a straight line. Booking.com describes the property as beachfront and lists a private beach area, recording garden and mountain views.

Booking.com gives Leknes Airport as 23 km from the house, Vestvågøy Rådhus as 24 km, Lofotenmat Sa as 27 km and Nusfjord as 48 km, and places the house close to Borga Radarstasjon without giving a figure. Private parking on site is free. No house number is published for Eggumsveien.
