Spacious and Modern Fisherman's Cabin

A 120 m² cabin in Stamsund with a fireplace, a sea-view terrace and a washer and dryer — room for a family that needs to dry clothes and feed people, within reach of the ferry town rather than the tourist run at Reine.

A family with children, given two bunk-bedded rooms and a single. Groups of adults will find the bed mix awkward — there is no double bed listed anywhere. The deposit and the early close of check-in suit people arriving by car in the afternoon rather than off a late boat.

NOK 3,000 is taken by credit card on arrival against damage, and returned within seven days once the cabin has been inspected. Check-in runs from 16:00 to 21:00 and check-out is by 11:00; the property asks for your arrival time in advance. Quiet hours are 23:00 to 07:00 and parties are not allowed. There is no double bed: one single and two bunk beds make up the sleeping, and Booking.com's maximum of seven is more than those beds hold, so ask how the seventh person sleeps before booking a full party. No extra beds are available, and the cot policy is cut off mid-sentence on the listing, so confirm that too if you need one. Pets are not accepted. Only two guests have reviewed the cabin, too few for the 7.0 score to mean much.

One unit of 120 m², listed under the grade Apartment, semi-detached and with a private entrance. Three bedrooms: one with a single bed, and two with a bunk bed each. One bathroom, private, with a bath or shower, a toilet, towels and toilet paper. Living room with a sitting area, a sofa, a fireplace and a flat-screen television; a dining table and dining area; linen. Kitchen with a dishwasher, an oven, a hob, a refrigerator, a coffee machine, an electric kettle and kitchenware. A washing machine and a tumble dryer. Booking.com's whole-property maximum is seven, above what the listed beds account for.

Self-catering, with a dishwasher, an oven, a hob, a coffee machine, a kettle and kitchenware, and a dining table and dining area indoors. No meals are served and no restaurant or bar is listed on site.

Buøyveien 6A at Stamsund, the tettsted Kartverket registers in Vestvågøy municipality on the south-east coast of the island. Kartverket's point for Stamsund is about 430 m from the cabin, so it is within the village; this guide's centre point for Leknes, the nearest destination it covers, is 10.4 km away in a straight line. The setting is recorded as rural, with the sea in view from the terrace.
