Apartment in Tangvåg, near Leknes

The building is a barn at 147 Tangstad, converted and let as a semi-detached apartment of 75 m² that Booking.com rates four stars and twenty-seven guests score 9.6. The whole unit sits on the ground floor, which is rare enough among Lofoten lets to be the first thing worth knowing.

Inside are two bedrooms, each with a large double bed, a living room, one private bathroom holding a shower and a hairdryer, and a kitchen with a dishwasher, oven, hob, electric kettle, coffee machine, fridge and kitchenware. Air conditioning, soundproofing, a private entrance, a dressing room, a desk, board games and children's books are all recorded, along with a washing machine and a drying rack.

Outdoors the listing gives a balcony, a patio, a terrace with outdoor furniture, a barbecue, a picnic area and an outdoor fireplace, and calls the setting beachfront, with sea, mountain, garden and courtyard outlooks. There is a charging point for an electric car — the owner has said it belongs to the house and guests may use it — ski storage, and simple bicycles that can be hired for a small charge.

Why stay here

Four stars, a 9.6 score, the whole apartment on one level and the shore immediately outside. With air conditioning, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a car charger and bicycles to hire, it is set up for a week rather than a night.
