Superior Chalet Sørvågen

A four-bedroom chalet standing above Sørvågen with a fire, a walk-in shower, a high chair and views in most directions, scored 9.1 from 25 reviews. The listing says hiking can be done from nearby, and both parking and WiFi cost nothing.

Families and groups: four bedrooms, a high chair, a free cot for the youngest and family rooms marked on the listing. How many people it actually takes is the open question, and it is worth settling before booking.

The two sources disagree about the party size. Booking.com sells the chalet for nine; Lofoten Vacation, the agency that lets it, gives six guests, four bedrooms and six beds, and the beds Booking.com names come to seven places. Settle the number with the property before you book. The address does not agree either — 2 Bogen on Booking.com, Glåpenveien on the agency's page — though both put the chalet above Sørvågen. Upper floors are reached by stairs alone, while the agency calls the chalet suitable for seniors or guests with limited mobility, so ask if that matters to you. Pets are not taken and no extra bed can be added. Check-in runs from 17:00 to 23:30 with your arrival time given in advance, and check-out is by 10:00.

One unit, sold as a Superior Chalet of 100 m² with five beds recorded across four bedrooms: two with a large double bed, one with two single beds and one with a bunk — seven sleeping places.

A flat-screen TV, a seating area, a sofa, a dining area, a wardrobe, a children's high chair, an iron, a drying rack, towels and linen are listed.

Booking.com records that upper floors are reached by stairs alone. Lofoten Vacation, the agency that lets the chalet, describes it as suitable for seniors or guests with limited mobility. The two do not agree, so check before booking.

WiFi and private parking are both free. The kitchen holds a dishwasher, an oven, a hob, a toaster, a coffee machine, an electric kettle, a fridge, kitchenware and cleaning products, with a washing machine and ironing facilities alongside. Heating, hardwood or parquet floors, a private entrance, a hairdryer, a private bathroom with a bath or shower, an additional toilet, towels and linen are recorded. A terrace opens off the chalet, with sea, lake, river, garden and mountain views, and there is a garden, a fireplace and a children's high chair. The agency adds floor heating, a private porch and a low-allergen interior. Family rooms are marked and the chalet is non-smoking.

Self-catering, with a kitchen fit for real cooking, a dining area and a high chair for a small child. No breakfast, restaurant or bar is offered, and the listing names no shop or restaurant nearby.
