Lofoten Seaside

A 120 m² apartment over two levels facing the water at Ballstad, with two double bedrooms, a second toilet on the entrance floor and bicycle hire on request.

Two couples, or a family with older children who can take the sofa bed, travelling by car. No cots or extra beds are kept and children of three and over pay the adult rate, so it suits older families better. Anglers should note that the property keeps nowhere to handle or store a catch, though it will point you to boat hire and guided trips.

The way in sits on the building's second floor and the upper level is reached by stairs, so this is not a step-free stay. Booking.com publishes a maximum of six guests across the three beds. Check-in starts at 16:00 with no closing time given and your arrival time is asked for in advance; check-out is by 11:00. No cots or extra beds are kept and children of three and over are charged at the adult rate. Pets are not accepted, smoking and parties are not allowed, and hen or stag groups are turned away. There is nowhere on site to process or store fish.
