Holiday home in Stamsund, near Leknes

Stamsund is a port village on the south-east coast of Vestvågøy, and Stambua stands on Buøyveien within it — Kartverket's registered point for the village is about 540 m from the map pin, while Leknes, the nearest place this guide covers, is 10.4 km off in a straight line.

The house measures 55 m² and holds two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with two single beds, three beds in all. Booking.com then caps each of those rooms at a single guest, which does not sit with either the double or the twin; the maximum it publishes for the house is six. One private bathroom with a bath or shower serves both rooms.

The kitchen has an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a kettle, a tea and coffee maker and kitchenware, with a dining table and dining area, and a washing machine is in the house. A balcony and a terrace open off it, with mountain views recorded — no sea view appears on the listing. WiFi and private parking are free and the house is non-smoking.

Why stay here

A detached house to yourself in a working Lofoten port rather than a holiday village, 10 km from Leknes and its airport, with a kitchen and a washing machine for a longer stay and parking at the door.

Who it’s for

A couple or a small family; the house is let to six at most, which is more than the three beds listed. Drivers are the natural fit, with Leknes and its shops a short run away, and the mountain outlook suits anyone content with a view inland rather than over water.

Highlights

  • Detached 55 m² house with two bedrooms, let to one party
  • A double bed in one room and two single beds in the other
  • Kitchen with an oven, a hob and a dishwasher, plus a washing machine
  • Balcony and terrace with mountain views
  • Free WiFi and parking at the door
  • 10.4 km from Leknes in a straight line; Leknes Airport put at 16 km

Things to consider

Booking.com publishes a maximum of six guests although it lists three beds, a double and a pair of singles, so ask what a party of six would sleep on. Linen is listed twice over and in two different ways — towels and sheets appear as an extra-cost item as well as among the things provided — so ask whether bedding costs more. Arrival is from 16:00 with your time sent ahead and departure is by 11:00. No cot and no extra bed can be added, pets are not allowed, smoking is not allowed and parties and hen or stag groups are ruled out. The 9.2 score comes from six reviews, a small base.

The accommodation

One detached house of 55 m², let whole. Two bedrooms: a double bed in one, two single beds in the other, three beds in total, against a published maximum of six guests and a per-room cap of one. One private bathroom with a bath or shower and a toilet. Towels, toilet paper and linen are listed, and towels and sheets also appear as an item carrying an extra fee.
