Holiday home in Svolvær

Verftsgata runs along the old yard side of Svolvær, and the cabin stands at number 2, roughly 700 metres from the town square by the listing's measure. Sea and mountain views are recorded, along with a terrace, and the setting is close enough to walk everywhere in town.

Forty square metres is small and arranged over two levels: the owner has described a double bed in the loft and a bunk bed on the floor below, giving two beds and a stated maximum of four. There is one shower room with a hairdryer, a private entrance, and a kitchen with a dishwasher, an oven, a hob, a kettle and kitchenware, plus a washing machine. Heating is electric, which the owner confirmed to an enquirer.

Arrival runs from 16:00 to 21:00 and departure is by 11:00. A NOK 3,000 damage deposit is taken by card on arrival and returned within a week if nothing is amiss. Quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00, pets are refused and the cabin is non-smoking.

Why stay here

A whole cabin rather than a room, inside walking distance of Svolvær's square, harbour and galleries, with sea and mountain views, its own door and a kitchen you can cook a week's meals in.

Who it’s for

A couple, or a family of four happy with a bunk bed and a loft. Anyone travelling alone should know that the loft bedroom cannot be shut off — the owner has said as much — so the cabin is let as one space.

Things to consider

Arrival closes at 21:00, quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00, and pets are not taken. The owner has said the internet is good but would not put a figure on the download speed.
