Vareid Panorama Lofoten, Vareidstua

Four bedrooms and two bathrooms in a house that takes a cot, an extra bed and a dog. Nusfjord is given as 13 km and Leknes Airport as 16, so both ends of the western islands are within half an hour's driving.

A family, including one with a small child: the cot is free, an extra bed can be added and the listing carries family rooms. Pets are taken on request for NOK 300 per stay. With one double and three singles, a party of two couples would need to talk to the owner about the bed layout.

Upper floors are reached by stairs only. Check-in runs from 16:00 to midnight with your time sent ahead; check-out is available around the clock, which the listing states without giving an hour, so confirm it. A pet costs NOK 300 for the stay, per animal, and has to be agreed in advance. Hen or stag groups are not taken. Kartverket's nearest registered name is 2.2 km from the house, so navigate by the street address rather than the place name.

One detached house of 80 m² with a private entrance, let whole. Four bedrooms: a double bed in the first and a single in each of the other three, with one of those rooms having its own bathroom — four beds and two bathrooms, and a whole-property maximum of five guests. A sofa bed is also listed among the facilities. Towels, free toiletries and bed linen are provided; floors are tile, marble, hardwood or parquet. Upper floors are reached by stairs only.

Booking.com records that the upper floors are reached by stairs only.
