Tors Cabin at Haukland Beach

A sauna, a fireplace and an outdoor dining area on the coast road between Leknes and the Haukland beaches — and the whole cabin on one level, which almost nothing else nearby offers.

Anyone who would rather not deal with stairs: Booking.com marks the unit wheelchair accessible and entirely on the ground floor. Otherwise a family or two couples touring the beaches by car, with the sauna as the reason to come back to the cabin each evening.

Arrival is 17:00 to 23:30 with your time given beforehand, and departure is by 10:00. There is no television in the cabin. Neither a cot nor an extra bed can be added, and from four years old a child is charged at the adult rate. Pets are not taken, smoking is not allowed and parties are refused. The name places the cabin at Haukland Beach while the listing puts Hauklandstranda 2.4 km off, so plan on driving there.

One detached chalet of 80 m² with its own entrance, the whole of it on the ground floor. Two bedrooms: a large double bed in the first, two single beds in the second. Three beds are credited to the unit and Booking.com publishes a maximum of six guests. One bathroom holds a walk-in shower, plus a toilet, a hairdryer, free toiletries, towels and toilet paper. Linen is provided; floors are tile, marble or parquet.

Booking.com records the whole unit as being on the ground floor and as wheelchair accessible. It gives no detail on door widths or bathroom fittings, so confirm the specifics with the property.

A sauna, heating and a fireplace; a seating area, a sofa, a dining area and a dining table. Laundry runs to a washing machine, a tumble dryer, a drying rack, a clothes rack and cleaning products. Outside are a terrace with furniture, an outdoor dining area and a picnic area, with sea, garden, mountain and landmark views. WiFi and private parking on the site are free, there is a charging point for an electric car, and the cabin is non-smoking. No television is listed.

Self-catering. The kitchen holds an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, an electric kettle, a toaster, a coffee machine, a tea and coffee maker and kitchenware, with a dining table indoors and a dining area outside. No breakfast, restaurant or bar is listed at the property.
