Holiday home in Gimsøy, near Henningsvær

The name reads as a list of what the area offers rather than what the house holds. What the house holds is 96 m² over three bedrooms, a living room with a sofa bed, one bathroom and a terrace looking out to sea.

Booking.com records the property as beachfront, and Gimsøy is well north of the places most visitors base themselves: Svolvær Torg is given as 40 km away and the nearest destination in this guide, Henningsvær, is about 21 km off in a straight line.

Two of the bedrooms pair a double with a single and the third has a large double, so the sleeping arrangements suit a mixed group. A fireplace, a television carrying streaming channels, children's books, games and a high chair are all listed.

Why stay here

A beachfront house on Gimsøy with three bedrooms, a fireplace and a sea-facing terrace, well away from the busier stretch of the road through Lofoten.

Who it’s for

  • Families

A family or a mixed group with a car, given the distance to anywhere else. A cot is always available and free for under-twos, and the listing records a high chair and children's books and games, but one bathroom is all there is.

Things to consider

One bathroom serves the house, and Booking.com publishes a maximum of ten guests including the sofa bed. Check-in runs from 16:00 to 20:00, a narrow window, and the owners want your arrival time in advance; check-out is by 11:00. No extra beds can be added. Pets cannot come. Gimsøy is roughly 40 km from Svolvær and 45 km from Svolvær Airport, so a car is needed. The property's name mentions the northern lights and the midnight sun: both depend on the season, the weather and the sky, and neither can be promised.

One bathroom with a shower. Booking.com publishes a maximum of ten guests, which the six beds reach with the sofa bed in use. Booking.com shows the house with 4 stars.
