New waterfront fisherman's cabin

Eight beds within sight of the water at Ballstad for the price of an 80 m² cabin, with parking at the door and the centre of the village 0.6 km away.

A group or a family who will use the sofa beds — four of the eight places are in the living room, so it suits people happy to share a space rather than four couples. One bathroom for eight is the other thing to weigh.

One bathroom serves eight places, four of which are sofa beds in the living room rather than in a bedroom. NOK 3,000 is held on a credit card when you arrive, as a refundable damage deposit, and returned within seven days after inspection. Check-in runs from 16:00 to 21:00 and check-out is by 11:00. Quiet hours are 23:00 to 08:00, children from 18 are charged as adults, and pets, smoking and parties are refused. No washing machine is listed. The cabin's name says waterfront, and while Booking.com records sea views and a balcony it does not describe the property as beachfront or give it quay access.

One semi-detached cabin of 80 m² with a private entrance: two bedrooms, a living room and one bathroom with a shower.

Self-catering, with a dishwasher, an oven, a hob, a fridge, a kettle, a coffee machine and kitchenware, and a dining table and dining area indoors. No breakfast, restaurant or bar comes with the cabin. The centre of Ballstad is 0.6 km away and Booking.com puts Lofotenmat Sa at 7.7 km.

Ballstadlandet 66 at Ballstad, in Vestvågøy municipality, 624 m from the point Kartverket registers for the village and 0.6 km from its centre in a straight line. Booking.com records the setting as rural and lists sea views from the balcony and mountain views from the cabin.

Booking.com gives Lofotenmat Sa as 7.7 km from the cabin, Leknes Airport as 10 km and Vestvågøy Rådhus as 10 km, with Nusfjord at 32 km and Borga Radarstasjon at 35 km. The owner's answer on the listing puts the parking space directly outside the cabin, and it costs nothing.
