Rorbu in Sørvågen

The cabin stands at Moskenesveien 1080, postcode 8392, in Moskenes municipality; Kartverket's registered point for Sørvågen is about 770 m away, so the village is a short walk off. Booking.com gives the rorbu four tiles and records the setting as rural.

Fifty-seven square metres divide into two bedrooms, each with a large double bed and each taking two guests, so four people can stay. One bathroom serves them, and the upper floor is reached by stairs only. A fireplace and a seating area make the living room, and the flat-screen TV carries streaming services.

The kitchen is fully fitted — oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, kettle and kitchenware — with a washing machine beside it. Fruit is put out for arrivals. Outside there are a balcony, a patio and a terrace with furniture and an outdoor dining area, facing the sea with mountains behind. Note that Booking.com's facility list records no WiFi at all, which is unusual and worth asking about if you need to be online.

Why stay here
