Lofoten Sund Retreat

Room. A 137 m² house for a group, in a fishing village rather than on a main road, with a balcony facing the water and a barbecue in the garden. Nusfjord is the nearest place this guide covers and sits 6.7 km away as the crow flies, though the drive is a good deal longer.

Groups of adults, mainly: nobody under 20 can check in, though children of any age may stay and a cot is free for a child under four. Three double bedrooms suit three couples, and six is the published maximum. Self-caterers who do not need to wash clothes — no washing machine appears on the listing, which is worth knowing for a house this size.

No washing machine is listed, which is a real gap in a 137 m² house let by the week. Nobody under 20 may check in. A cot is free on request for a child under four; no extra bed can be added. Pets are refused, smoking is not allowed and parties are ruled out. Check-in starts at 15:00 with no closing time given, your arrival time is wanted in advance, and the house is left by 11:00. Upper floors are reached by stairs only.

One detached house of 137 m², let whole. Three bedrooms, each with a double bed; Booking.com's unit summary counts three beds, and it publishes a maximum of six guests. One bathroom with a private toilet, a bath or shower, a hairdryer, towels and toilet paper. A living room with a sofa, a dining area and a dining table, and a flat-screen TV taking cable channels. Bed linen is supplied and floors are hardwood or parquet.

Upper floors are reached by stairs only.

Free WiFi and free parking on site, heating, air conditioning and a private entrance. The kitchen has an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a microwave, a toaster, an electric kettle and a tea and coffee maker. Outside there are a balcony, a patio, a garden, outdoor furniture, an outdoor dining area and barbecue facilities. The house is non-smoking and family rooms are listed. No washing machine is recorded.

Self-catering, with nothing served at the house. The kitchen holds an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a microwave and a toaster, and meals can be taken at the dining table, on the balcony or at the outdoor dining area, with a barbecue in the garden.

Sundveien 107 in Sund, a built-up place Kartverket registers just 27 metres away, in Flakstad municipality. The setting is rural, with sea views from the balcony and garden and mountain views around. Nusfjord, the nearest place this guide covers, is 6.7 km off in a straight line — but the listing gives the road distance as 29 km, which tells you what the intervening ground looks like.

Booking.com gives Nusfjord as 29 km from the house by road, Vestvågøy Rådhus as 44 km, Leknes Airport as 44 km and Lofotenmat Sa as 42 km. No bus route or ferry is stated, so plan on a car.
