The Old Vicarage, Flakstad

Seven bedrooms and three bathrooms under one roof, with a sauna, a fireplace and a kitchen built for a group, Flakstadsanden beach 1.1 km off. Three or four families can take the whole house rather than splitting across cabins, and there is room to park and to charge a car.

Large parties — an extended family, a group of friends, a reunion — who want one kitchen and one table rather than several. Seven doubles suit couples sharing; there are no single rooms and no extra beds, though a cot can be requested free for a child under three. Anyone who cannot manage stairs should ask which bedrooms sit on the ground floor before booking.

Check-in does not open until 17:00 and the property asks to be told your arrival time in advance. No extra bed can be added; a cot for a child aged up to three can be requested free, but how many depends on the option booked. Pets are not accepted, smoking is not allowed anywhere, and the house will not host hen or stag groups. Upper floors are reached by stairs only. Booking.com's per-bedroom fields cap each of the seven rooms at one person, which cannot be squared with seven large double beds and a stated maximum of sixteen — settle the headcount with the property when you book. No guest rating has been collected for this listing yet, so there is no score to judge it by.
