Seaside Holiday Home in Lofoten

Nine beds in four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a terrace facing the water, three and a half kilometres from Leknes and six from the airport. For a group that wants to be in the middle of Lofoten rather than at one end of it, that combination is hard to match at this size.

Larger families and groups of up to nine, especially those flying in: the listing puts Leknes Airport 6 km away. Children of any age may stay and are charged as adults only from 18, but no cot or extra bed can be added.

No internet service appears anywhere in the listing, so treat the house as offline until the property says otherwise — a real consideration for nine people. A NOK 2,000 damage deposit is taken by credit card on arrival and returned after the house is inspected. Quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00 and hen and stag parties are refused. Check-in is 16:00 to 21:00 with your arrival time given beforehand, and check-out is by 11:00. Pets are not taken and no cot or extra bed can be added.

One unit, sold as a Four-Bedroom House of 146 m² with six beds recorded across four bedrooms: a single; two singles and a double; a double; and an extra-large double. Those add up to the nine places Booking.com sells. Two bathrooms carry a bath and a shower. Towels, linen, a wardrobe, a dining area and a seating area are included.

Private parking on site is free; no internet service is listed at all. The kitchen holds a dishwasher, a microwave, an oven, a hob, a coffee machine, an electric kettle and kitchenware, with a washing machine beside it.

The house is detached and non-smoking.

Self-catering, with a kitchen fit for proper cooking, a dining area indoors and another on the terrace. No breakfast, restaurant or bar is offered; the nearest food business the listing names is Lofotenmat Sa at 4.4 km.

89 Offersøyveien at Offersøya, in Vestvågøy municipality. Kartverket registers Offersøya as a hamlet 257 m from the property, and the point this guide uses for Leknes is 3.4 km away in a straight line. Booking.com records the setting as rural, puts Offersøya Beach close by, and lists sea and mountain views from the terrace.

The listing gives Leknes Airport as 6 km, Vestvågøy Rådhus as 6.5 km and Lofotenmat Sa as 4.4 km, with Nusfjord at 23 km and Borga Radarstasjon at 27 km. Parking at the house is free.
