Vestresand Molo Water Front

A ground-floor flat that Booking.com calls wheelchair accessible, with a sea view, a terrace and a kitchenette — a combination that is hard to find in Lofoten, where most self-catered lets involve steps and an upper floor.

Anyone for whom steps are a problem, and families of up to four who want the north coast rather than the E10 villages. The bunk room points at children, though somebody aged 21 or over has to be the one checking in. Pets are not allowed.

Nobody under 21 can check in, so a younger party cannot book it. Towels and sheets are listed as carrying an extra fee and no free linen appears on the facility list, so budget for bedding. Check-in falls between 17:00 and 23:30 and check-out between midnight and 10:00, an early finish. Children of four and over are charged as adults, and no cot or extra bed can be added. Pets are not allowed and smoking is not allowed. Booking.com takes the payment for the stay, so carry cash for extras. Leknes is 21 km away, so shop on the way out.

One apartment of 55 m², private within a building and entirely on the ground floor. Two bedrooms: a large double bed in one and two bunk beds in the other, three beds in all, with a maximum of two guests in each room. One private bathroom with a shower and a toilet. Towels and sheets are listed as carrying an extra fee. Floors are hardwood or parquet, and there are clothes and drying racks, an iron and ironing facilities.

Booking.com records the entire unit as being on the ground floor and as wheelchair accessible, and lists facilities for disabled guests at the property. It gives no door widths or bathroom measurements, so check the detail with the owner if you use a wheelchair.

Soundproofing, hypoallergenic fittings, a sofa, a washing machine and a flat-screen TV, with cleaning products, an iron, a clothes rack and a drying rack. Outside are a balcony, a patio and a terrace with outdoor furniture and an outdoor dining area, and sea and mountain views are recorded. WiFi and private parking are free, facilities for disabled guests are listed, and the apartment is non-smoking.

Self-catering in a kitchenette fitted with an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a microwave, a fridge, a toaster, a coffee machine, a tea and coffee maker and kitchenware, with a dining table indoors and an outdoor dining area on the terrace. Nothing is served at the property.

Sandveien 56, with a Bøstad postal address, on the north coast of Vestvågøy in Vestvågøy municipality; Booking.com files the apartment under Bøstad, and the name refers to the mole at Vestresand. Leknes lies 20.8 km away in a straight line. The listing records sea and mountain views and notes cycling, fishing and hiking in the area.

Booking.com gives Borga Radarstasjon as 19 km from the apartment, Leknes Airport as 23 km and Vestvågøy Rådhus as 24 km. Private parking on site is free and the whole unit is on the ground floor.
