Ryten View Retreat

A chalet with a sea-facing balcony and terrace on the Hovdan road at Fredvang, where a dog costs nothing, a paid transfer can be arranged from Leknes Airport 38 km off, and an outdoor fireplace sits by the door.

People who will ask questions before booking. The layout is not reliably published, so anyone needing to know how many bedrooms they are getting should get that in writing first. It suits a couple with a dog, or anyone arriving without a car who would use the paid shuttle. Ytresand beach is 2.9 km away.

The listing contradicts itself about the size of the place. The bookable grade is a three-bedroom chalet, the description calls it a one-bedroom chalet, and the structured data shows one bedroom with one double bed capped at a single person, against a whole-property maximum of seven. Nothing here supports a headcount, so agree the number of bedrooms and guests with the property in writing before paying. Towels and sheets cost extra: the listing offers them for a supplement. No private bathroom is stated in the facility list, only a bath or shower and free toiletries, so confirm the bathroom arrangement too. Check-in is from 17:00 with no closing time published and check-out is by 12:00; the property asks for your arrival time in advance. No cot and no extra bed can be added, and children of eighteen and over are charged as adults. Parties are not allowed, smoking is not allowed, and the airport shuttle is charged for. Two reviews, averaging 5.5, are the whole guest record.

One unit of 60 m². Booking.com's bookable grade is a Three-Bedroom Chalet while its description says one bedroom, and its bedroom record shows a single room with one double bed, capped at one person, against a whole-property maximum of seven. Because those figures cannot be reconciled, no bedroom count, bathroom count or maximum is published here. The listing does record a cable flat-screen television, a dining table and dining area, a washing machine, plus a kitchen with an oven, a hob, a microwave, a refrigerator, an electric kettle and kitchenware, and a balcony, patio and terrace. Towels and sheets are available for an extra fee.

Free WiFi, free on-site parking, heating, air conditioning, a private entrance, a balcony, a patio and a terrace, an outdoor fireplace and a washing machine. A paid shuttle runs to and from the airport, with pick-up and drop-off. Sea, lake, mountain and landmark views are recorded, and Booking.com gives the chalet three stars.

Self-catering, with an oven, a hob, a microwave, a fridge, a kettle and kitchenware, and a dining table and dining area. An outdoor fireplace sits outside. No meals are served and no restaurant or bar is on site.
