Lofoten Troll View

A whole house for four with a sea view from the terrace and a kitchen good enough to cook every meal in, on a quiet stretch of the north-west coast rather than in a town, with free parking at the door.

A family of four or two couples with a car, wanting a base between Leknes and the beaches of the north-west. The kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine suit a week rather than a night. With no cot available and quiet hours from 23:00, it is not for a party or for a very young baby.

Check-in runs from 17:00 to 23:30 and your arrival time has to be given in advance; check-out is by 10:00, which is early. Quiet hours are kept from 23:00 to 09:00. No cot and no extra bed can be added, so four is the limit, and pets are refused. Children aged four and over are charged as adults.

One semi-detached unit of 60 m², listed as a Holiday Home with two beds and a maximum of four guests. One bedroom has a large double bed and the other a bunk bed, each taking two people, and there is one bathroom with a shower. The unit has its own entrance, a dining area, a seating area and a wardrobe.

The WiFi costs nothing, and neither does the private parking. The kitchen has a dishwasher, an oven, a hob, a fridge, a kettle, kitchenware and cleaning products, with a washing machine alongside. Heating, a flat-screen TV carrying satellite channels, a sofa, a dining table, free toiletries, towels, linen, a clothes rack and a drying rack are listed. Outside there is a terrace with a sea view, a patio, outdoor furniture and an outdoor dining area.

Everything needed to cook is here: dishwasher, oven, hob and kettle, a dining table indoors and another outside on the patio. No breakfast, restaurant or bar is offered.

The house is at 106 Mærvollveien, under a Bøstad postcode in Vestvågøy municipality. Kartverket's nearest registered settlement is Tangvåg, 1,139 m away, so the house stands outside any village. Leknes, the destination this guide covers, is 11.3 km away in a straight line. Booking.com records the setting as rural and gives the terrace a sea view.

The listing gives Leknes Airport as 18 km away, Vestvågøy Rådhus as 18 km, Borga Radarstasjon as 21 km, Lofotenmat Sa as 22 km and Nusfjord as 43 km.
