Holiday home in Ballstad

Øyaveien runs along the water at Ballstad, and number 55a sits about 213 m from Kartverket's registered point for the village. That makes this one of the closest places in the batch to a destination the guide writes about. Booking.com gives it three tiles and records the setting as rural.

The unit is 68 m² and Booking.com titles it a three-bedroom house: two singles in the first bedroom, a double in the second and a double in the third. Three beds are credited to the unit and the published room occupancy allows six. Booking.com's own written description calls it a two-bedroom holiday home, which does not match the room list — worth settling before a party of six books.

A balcony with outdoor furniture and a terrace face the sea, and the mountains behind Ballstad fill the rest of the view. Inside there are a kitchen with an oven, hob, dishwasher and coffee machine, a washing machine, a television carrying satellite channels, and a private bathroom with a shower. The entrance is the party's own and the walls are soundproofed.

Why stay here

Two hundred metres from Ballstad, with a sea-facing balcony, three bedrooms and a kitchen that will handle a proper meal — close enough to the harbour to walk, far enough out to park.

Who it’s for

A family or two couples self-catering at Ballstad without needing to drive for dinner. Extra beds can be arranged depending on the option booked, but there is no cot, so parents of a baby should ask first.

Things to consider

Booking.com contradicts itself on the number of bedrooms — the room type and bed list say three, the written description says two — so confirm the layout before booking six people in.

Pets are not taken, the house is non-smoking and parties are refused. Booking.com carries no guest score for it yet.
