Lofoten Beach Eggum

A house on the beach at Eggum, with a fireplace for the evening, a playground for children and a balcony looking straight out at the Atlantic.

Families — the playground, the bunk room, the high chair and the cot all point that way — and anyone who would rather be on the north coast, 18 km from Leknes, than beside the E10.

Towels and sheets carry an extra fee on Booking.com's facility list even though towels appear on it as well, so check what your rate includes. Two bathrooms are listed but the host says only one has a shower. A cot costs NOK 100 per child a night for under-twos and no extra bed can be added; Booking.com publishes a maximum of seven guests across the five beds. Pets are not accepted and the house is non-smoking. Check-in starts at 15:00 with no closing time stated, though the property wants your arrival time, and check-out is by 11:00. Eggum is 18.2 km from Leknes in a straight line, at the end of a coastal road.
