Nice home in Bøstad with mountain view

Eggum's road ends at the sea below Vestvågøy's northern mountains, and a small house there for three costs less than most cabins twice its size — with a fireplace for the evenings and the coast path from the hamlet a short drive away.

A couple, a small family or three friends who want the north coast rather than a town. Anyone under 18 cannot check in, and no cot or extra bed can be added, so it suits adults and older children. A car is needed: Leknes is 18.2 km off and the airport 23 km.

The whole stay is paid before arrival and the letting agency sends the address and key details afterwards, so you do not get them at the time of booking. Check-in falls between 16:00 and 20:00 — a narrow window — and check-out is by 10:00. Only guests aged 18 to 99 can check in, children from 13 are charged as adults, and no cot or extra bed can be added. Pets are refused, smoking and parties are not allowed, and the kitchen has a hob but no oven and no dishwasher. Booking.com's room type calls the house a three-bedroom home while its description and bedroom list both say two.

One holiday home of 50 m² with a private entrance: two bedrooms by Booking.com's own bedroom list and description, holding a double bed and a single bed, with two beds credited to the unit and a maximum of three guests. One bathroom, which holds the shower and the washing machine. The room type is titled as a three-bedroom home, which neither the description nor the bed list supports. A clothes rack is provided; no linen entry appears on the facility list.

Heating, a private entrance and a fireplace in the living room, with a flat-screen TV and a dining area. The kitchen holds a hob, a fridge, a microwave, a coffee machine and kitchenware — no oven or dishwasher is listed — and the washing machine sits in the bathroom. Outdoor furniture stands outside, and the views recorded are of the sea and the mountains. Parking and WiFi are free, and the house is non-smoking.

Self-catering, with a hob, a fridge, a microwave, a coffee machine and kitchenware, and a dining area to eat in. No oven, dishwasher, breakfast, restaurant or bar. Booking.com puts Lofotenmat Sa 27 km away, so shopping means a drive.

The postal address is Bøstad in Vestvågøy, but the map pin sits 109 m from Kartverket's registered point for Eggum, on the island's north coast. Leknes is 18.2 km off in a straight line. Booking.com records the setting as rural, with sea and mountain views, and gives the house three stars.

Booking.com gives Borga Radarstasjon as 1.8 km from the house, Leknes Airport as 23 km, Vestvågøy Rådhus as 24 km, Lofotenmat Sa as 27 km and Nusfjord as 48 km. Parking on site is free. The address and key collection are emailed once the stay has been paid in full.
