Villa Ihugas

Room for nine in four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a barbecue and an outdoor fireplace, and a paid shuttle to and from the airport if nobody in the party wants to drive. Skjelfjord is quiet, and Nusfjord is the nearest place this guide covers, 4.3 km off in a straight line.

A large family or two or three couples travelling together, including families with a baby: cots are free on request and extra beds can be added for a charge, which sets this apart from most of the self-catered houses nearby. Anyone without a car should ask about the shuttle when booking.

The name says close to the sea, but the only view Booking.com records is of the garden, and it lists no sea view — worth knowing if that is what you are paying for. Booking.com's own distance to Nusfjord is 21 km although the straight-line distance is 4.3 km, so allow for the drive round the fjord. Extra beds cost NOK 500 per person per night, charged on top of the booking price. Arrival is from 16:00 with your time sent ahead; departure is by 11:00. Pets are not allowed, smoking is not allowed, and hen or stag groups are refused. The 9.2 score comes from five reviews, a small base for a house this size.

One villa of 185 m², let whole. Four bedrooms: an extra-large double bed in the first, a large double in the second, a large double and a single in the third, and a large double in the fourth — five beds, with Booking.com allowing up to nine guests in all. Two bathrooms with a bath or shower, plus an additional toilet. Cots are free on request and extra beds cost NOK 500 per person per night.

Air conditioning and heating, a desk, a sofa, a TV and a flat-screen TV, and a washing machine. Books, DVDs or music for children are provided. Outside are a terrace with outdoor furniture and an outdoor dining area, a picnic area, barbecue facilities and an outdoor fireplace, with garden views. WiFi and private parking are free, an airport shuttle is available at a charge, and the villa is non-smoking.

Self-catering, with an equipped kitchen, a coffee machine and a dining table indoors and an outdoor dining area, barbecue and picnic area outside. No breakfast, restaurant or bar is listed. Booking.com puts Lofotenmat Sa 34 km away.
