Holiday home in Sørland, near Å

Værøy is its own island and its own municipality, out beyond Moskenes, and this house stands at Nordlandsveien 100 with the sea at the door — Booking.com's facility list calls the property beachfront. Kartverket's nearest registered settlement is Sørland, a little under 3 km away.

The house runs to 55 m² over two bedrooms, each with a double bed, and Booking.com counts two beds while publishing a maximum of five guests. The kitchen takes a dishwasher, an oven, a hob, a fridge, a kettle, a toaster and a coffee machine, and there is a sauna, which the host says guests use at no charge.

The name is literal: the old airfield is next door. Asked whether light aircraft can still use it, the host replied that this was once the case but that the municipality would have to confirm where it stands now, so treat flying in as unsettled.

Why stay here

A house on the shoreline of an island most visitors never reach, with a sauna included, sea and mountain views, and the old runway as its neighbour.

Who it’s for

  • Families

Two or three people who want quiet at the far end of the archipelago and have worked out the crossing. Walkers are catered for — the listing records hiking nearby — and the sauna earns its place after a day on the hill.

Highlights

  • Beachfront house of 55 m²
  • Sauna, and no charge for it
  • Two bedrooms, both with double beds
  • Sea and mountain views
  • Værøy Heliport Airport given as 8 km
  • Free WiFi and free parking on site

Things to consider

Booking.com publishes a maximum of five guests, more than the two double beds hold. Neither cots nor extra beds can be had, pets are not accepted and the house is non-smoking. Upper floors are reached by stairs only. Check-in runs from 15:00 to midnight with notice of your arrival time, and check-out is by 12:00. Værøy is reached by sea or by helicopter rather than by road, so build the crossing into your plans; the old airfield beside the house is not a way in, and the host could not say whether it is open to light aircraft at all.

The accommodation

One house of 55 m², sold as a Two-Bedroom House with two beds. Both bedrooms hold a double bed, and Booking.com publishes a maximum of five guests. A bathroom with a shower and toilet, towels and toilet paper. A sitting room, a desk, a sofa and a dining area. Booking.com rates the property at 4 tiles.
