Lofothuset, Fredvang

A whole house in the middle of Fredvang with a fireplace, a barbecue on the terrace and Ytresand beach 1.7 km away — a base on the quieter side of the Kvalvika and Ryten country, for four people who want to cook and dry out between walks.

Four people at most: a couple with two children, or two couples where one pair takes the twin room. The fireplace and the washing machine suit a walking week. There is no cot and no extra bed, so a family with a baby would need to bring a travel cot, and dog owners should look elsewhere.

Check-in runs from 16:00 to 21:00 and check-out is by 11:00; the property asks for your arrival time in advance, and the window shuts early for anyone coming off a late ferry at Moskenes. NOK 2,000 is taken by credit card on arrival as a refundable damage deposit, returned within seven days once the place has been inspected. Quiet hours are 23:00 to 07:00 and parties are not allowed. There are no cots and no extra beds, so four is four, and children of eighteen and over pay the adult rate. Pets are not accepted. No sea view is listed, and no dishwasher: the kitchen has an oven and a hob but the washing-up is by hand.

One house of 80 m², listed as a Two-Bedroom House with three beds: one bedroom has two single beds, the other a double. One bathroom, private, holding a toilet, a hairdryer, a bath or shower and the washing machine, with towels and toilet paper. Living room with a flat-screen television, a sitting area, a sofa and a fireplace; a dining table and dining area; a wardrobe; linen. Kitchen with an oven, a hob, a refrigerator, a coffee machine, an electric kettle and kitchenware — no dishwasher is listed. The house is detached, with a private entrance. Booking.com's maximum is four.

Free WiFi, free private parking, heating, a terrace with barbecue facilities and a private entrance. The house is detached and non-smoking, and Booking.com gives it three stars. A view is recorded but not described, and no sea view is listed.

Self-catering, with an oven, a hob, a coffee machine, a kettle and kitchenware indoors and barbecue equipment on the terrace. There is no dishwasher. No meals are served and no restaurant or bar is on site.
