Sunyard House Lofoten

Seventy square metres to yourselves, 4.3 km from Ballstad and ten from Leknes Airport by the listing's own figure, with a kitchen you can cook properly in, a washing machine and the sea in view from the terrace. Booking.com rates the building four tiles.

A couple, or a family of four willing to use the bunk beds. Children of any age may stay and family rooms are marked, though children of four and over are charged as adults and no cot or extra bed can be added.

Booking.com sells the house for five, but the beds it names are one large double and one bunk — four places at most — so ask where a fifth would sleep. Upper floors are reached by stairs alone. Check-in does not open until 17:00 and shuts at 23:30, with your arrival time given in advance, and check-out is by 10:00, which is early for a self-catering house. Pets are not taken, and no cot or extra bed can be added. The 7.4 score rests on five reviews.
