Sommerhus Edvinstua

A plain summer house with a fireplace and a barbecue on the quiet road between Ballstad and Leknes, 4.6 km from Ballstad and 10 km from the airport by the listing's own figure.

A family who want a garden and a fire rather than fittings, and who will cook simply — there is an oven, a hob and a microwave but no dishwasher on the list. The bunk room suits children, and a cot can be added for a baby.

Booking.com publishes no floor area for the house and its facility list names no bathroom fittings, so ask what the bathroom holds before booking. No dishwasher is recorded. The minimum age for checking in is 18, no extra bed is available, parties are not allowed and pets need the owners' agreement. Arrival is between 15:00 and midnight; departure by 12:00.

One house listed as a Three-Bedroom House with four beds: a double in the first bedroom, a double in the second, and a single with a bunk bed in the third. No floor area is published. Booking.com publishes a maximum of seven guests. The facility list records no bathroom fittings, which is unusual and worth checking.

WiFi and on-site parking, both free. Heating, a private entrance, an iron, a hairdryer, a fireplace, a flat-screen TV carrying cable channels, a kettle or coffee maker, a fridge, a microwave, an oven, a hob, a kitchen and a washing machine. Outside there is a terrace, a garden with a garden view and barbecue facilities.

Self-catering. The kitchen is described in the listing as fully equipped, with an oven and a microwave named, though no dishwasher appears on the facility list. Barbecue facilities are provided outside. No breakfast or restaurant is offered.
