The Greenhouse

A bath, a washing machine and a kitchen at Eggum, on the outer coast of Vestvågøy, with a 14:00 check-in and a noon check-out that make a short stay worth more than it usually is. The larger of the two units is 163 m².

Depends which unit you book, and that is the point to settle first: a party of up to four in the house, or two people in the 15 m² room. Neither takes a cot or an extra bed, and children of eighteen and over are charged as adults. Pets are not accepted.

This listing gives a reader very little. Booking.com's description is two sentences long and says only that the units have heating; there is no floor plan, no bed detail beyond one bed in each unit, and no explanation of how a 163 m² one-bedroom house sleeps four. The facility list carries a private bathroom and a shared bathroom together without saying which unit has which, so ask before booking if a shared bathroom would not do. No cot and no extra bed is offered, pets are not accepted and parties are not allowed. The guest score is 4.0 from two reviews — far too small a sample to judge by. Eggum is at the end of a minor road on the outer coast; the nearest town the guide covers, Leknes, is 18 km away in a straight line.

Two units are let. The One-Bedroom House is 163 m² with one bed, and Booking.com puts its maximum at four people. The Double Room with Park View is 15 m² with one bed, for two. The bedroom records for the property show one room with a double bed and one with a large double. Facilities listed for the address include a kitchen, a washing machine, an iron, a clothes rack, a sofa and a dining area, and both a private bathroom with a bath and a shower and a shared bathroom — the listing does not say which belongs to which unit.

Free WiFi, free private parking, heating, a kitchen, a washing machine, an iron and a clothes rack. A bath as well as a shower is listed, which is uncommon in a Lofoten let. A view is recorded but not described.

Self-catering: a kitchen and a dining area are listed for the property, without detail of what the kitchen holds. No meals are served and no restaurant or bar is on site.

Eggumsveien 814 at Eggum, on the outer northern coast of Vestvågøy. Kartverket registers Eggum as a tettbebyggelse and puts it 161 m from the property, so the address is in the settlement. This guide's centre point for Leknes, the nearest destination it covers, is 18 km away in a straight line. Booking.com records the setting as rural.

Booking.com gives Leknes Airport as 22 km away and publishes no other distance for the property. Free private parking is on site.
