Apartment in Gravdal, near Ballstad

The postcode on this listing, 8372 Sund, catches people out. Lofoten has two places called Sund, and asked on Booking.com whether this was the one in Flakstad near Mølnarodden, the property answered that it is not — this is the Sund on Vestvågøy, well over an hour's drive from the other. Kartverket's nearest registered place here is Gravdal, and the guide measures 4.9 km in a straight line to Ballstad.

Everything sits on one floor. The 90 m² unit holds three bedrooms — two with a large double bed, the third with a sofa bed — and Booking.com records the entire apartment as wheelchair accessible, with its own entrance, a terrace and an outdoor dining table. Sea, garden and mountain outlooks are all listed, and the beds are the extra-long kind, over two metres.

The kitchen carries a dishwasher, oven, hob, microwave and fridge, and there is a washing machine and tumble dryer as well, which matters on a week-long stay. Arrival is late: the door opens at 17:00 and closes at 23:00, with the property asking to be told an arrival time beforehand. Smoking, pets and parties are all refused.

Why stay here

Three bedrooms and 90 m² on a single level, with step-free access Booking.com describes as wheelchair accessible throughout, and a terrace facing the sea — an unusual combination in an area where most self-catering runs over two floors.

Who it’s for

Two couples travelling together, or anyone who needs to avoid stairs. The laundry equipment and full kitchen suit longer stays, but there is no cot and no extra bed, so it does not stretch to a larger group or a baby.

Highlights

  • 90 m², three bedrooms, all on the ground floor
  • Listed as wheelchair accessible throughout
  • Terrace with an outdoor dining table and sea outlook
  • Washing machine and tumble dryer as well as a dishwasher
  • Free private parking and free WiFi
  • At Sund on Vestvågøy, about 5 km from Ballstad

Things to consider

Check-in does not begin until 17:00 and stops at 23:00, and the property wants an arrival time in advance. Booking.com publishes a maximum of four guests for the apartment. Neither a cot nor an extra bed can be added. Pets are refused, smoking is refused, and hen and stag groups are turned away. The Sund in the address is the Vestvågøy one, not the Flakstad village of the same name that appears in most Lofoten itineraries.

The accommodation

One unit of 90 m², listed as a Three-Bedroom Apartment: two bedrooms with a large double bed each and a third with a sofa bed. Bed linen and towels are included, and the beds are recorded as extra long, over two metres. Booking.com puts the whole apartment on the ground floor, with a private entrance, and describes it as wheelchair accessible. The listing gives no bathroom count; a toilet and a bath or shower are recorded.
