Lofoten Sea Lodge

Space to spread out on the quiet west coast, with sea views, a playground for children and WiFi measured at 421 Mbps.

Families and groups with a car who want to be between Leknes and the west-coast beaches rather than in a village. Anyone who would rather not climb stairs should ask which apartment is which.

Stairs decide a lot here: two apartments have bedrooms and bathroom at ground level with the kitchen and living room a floor up, and the loft is on the third floor with its entrance outside. Check-in runs from 16:00 to 23:30 with your arrival time sent ahead, and checkout from 05:00 to 11:00. Quiet hours are 23:00 to 06:00 and hen or stag groups are refused. A cot is free for a child under two but there are no extra beds. Pets are not taken. Cancellation terms vary by apartment, so read the one you book.

Three units: a Loft of 40 m² with two beds, a Two-Bedroom Apartment of 65 m² with three beds and a Three-Bedroom Apartment of 70 m² with three beds. Bedrooms across the property hold doubles, singles and one pair of bunk beds. Each apartment has a private bathroom with a hairdryer and a walk-in shower, its own entrance, and bed linen and towels. Booking.com gives the property four stars.
