Rorbuleilighet 1J Henningsvær

Room for a big group inside Henningsvær itself — four bedrooms, ten beds and two bathrooms, with the harbour, the galleries and the restaurants on foot.

A large family or a party of friends who can be at the door within the hour-long arrival window and do not mind stairs. Not for anyone needing a cot: none is available.

Check-in runs from 16:00 to 17:00 — an hour — with your arrival time sent in advance; checkout is from 08:00 to 11:00. The apartment is on the second floor. Booking.com puts the floor area at 70 m², which is tight for four bedrooms and ten beds, so look closely at the photographs and the layout before a big group books. Children from three years old are charged as adults, and there are no cots and no extra beds. Pets are not taken and smoking is not allowed.

One Four-Bedroom Apartment given as 70 m², with ten beds: three single beds and a double in the first bedroom, two singles in the second, a double in the third, and two singles with a double in the fourth. Booking.com's own per-room maximums come to thirteen people. Two bathrooms with a bath or shower, towels, free toiletries and a hairdryer. Private entrance, second floor.

Banhammaren 1J in Henningsvær, the fishing village on islets off the south coast of Austvågøy in Vågan, which Kartverket records as a built-up area. The apartment is about 500 metres from the centre of the village in a straight line and looks out to sea.

Booking.com gives Galleri Espolin as 20 km, and Svolvær Torg, Nordnorsk Kunstnersenter and the Lofoten attraction as 25 km, with Leknes Airport 60 km off. Parking at the apartment is free, which counts for something in a village where space is short.
