Holiday home in Henningsvær

Saltværingsveien sits a few hundred metres from the middle of Henningsvær, and this detached house stands on it, let whole to one party. Booking.com's title for it leans on the building's age; the listing records no date or history to back that up, so treat it as the owner's description rather than something documented.

What the listing does record is a large house: 116 m² over four bedrooms with six beds — two doubles and four singles — and two bathrooms, which for a party of this size matters more than the architecture. A fireplace, a seating area, a flat-screen television and a dining table furnish the inside.

Outside there is a balcony, a patio, a terrace and an outdoor dining area, with the sea in view one way and an inner courtyard the other, plus an electric-car charging point and parking on site. A high chair and a free cot for an under-three make it workable with small children. Booking.com rates the house four tiles.

Why stay here

A whole house for six in Henningsvær with two bathrooms, a fire and an outdoor table facing the sea — the sort of place a group takes for a week rather than a night.

Who it’s for
