Rorbu in Mortsund, near Ballstad

Statles stands on Mortsundveien, on the small harbour at Mortsund on the south coast of Vestvågøy. Beside the cabins are a restaurant and meeting rooms, both named on the centre's own site. Booking.com gives it three stars and 8.9 from 907 reviews.

Ten grades are bookable. The smallest is a twin room of 28 m² with a terrace and no kitchen; above it come a 55 m² studio with a sea view, a 40 m² waterfront bungalow, a 70 m² bungalow with a patio, a 50 m² two-bedroom house, a 70 m² two-bedroom cottage, a 55 m² family two-bedroom apartment and three-bedroom houses of 65 m² and 85 m² for six. Bedrooms are listed with pairs of single beds, and the centre has said the beds measure 90 by 200 cm and that two can usually be pushed together. Most units have a kitchen with a dishwasher; the twin room does not.

The property is described as allergy-free, with hypoallergenic bedding, and one unit is recorded as entirely wheelchair accessible. Photo identification and a credit card are asked for at check-in, cards are the only payment taken and the minimum age for arriving is 18.

Why stay here

A whole cabin with a sea or harbour view at a price set by size rather than by a hotel's room grade, with a restaurant and meeting rooms on the same site and Leknes Airport ten minutes up the road.

Who it’s for

Families and groups, who have three-bedroom houses for six and two-bedroom cottages to choose from; business visitors using the meeting rooms; and pairs who only need the 28 m² twin room, as long as they do not want to cook. Not for anyone travelling with a pet.
