Villa Walter Lofoten

A sauna, bicycles, a fire outside and the beach at the door, in a three-bedroom house with two bathrooms — and a score of 9.9 from 57 stays.

A family or two couples who want the beach and the sauna rather than a village. The house has stairs, and Booking.com publishes a maximum of six guests. A high chair and a cot can be had for a small child.

Booking.com publishes a maximum of six guests across the four beds. Nobody under 18 can check in, and arrivals run from 16:00 to 23:30, with your time sent ahead; checkout is by 11:00. A cot can be requested free, but no extra beds are kept. Pets are not taken, smoking and parties are not allowed, and hen or stag groups are refused. Kvalnes is remote — Booking.com puts Leknes Airport at 31 km, and the nearest destination in this guide, Henningsvær, is about 22 km off in a straight line.

One villa of 140 m² with four beds across three bedrooms: an extra-large double in two of them and two single beds in the third. Two bathrooms, one with an additional toilet, with bathrobes, slippers, towels and a hairdryer. A living room with a fireplace, a dining area and a seating area. Parts of the house are on the ground floor and upper floors are reached by stairs. Booking.com gives the property four stars and publishes a maximum of six guests.

Part of the unit is on the ground floor; upper floors are reached by stairs only.

Sauna, fireplace, free bicycles and a charging point for an electric car, which the owners confirm. Free WiFi, measured for the listing at 150 Mbps, and free parking on site. Kitchen with a dishwasher, oven, stovetop, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, kettle, fridge and kitchenware, and a dining table. Washing machine, tumble dryer, drying rack, iron and ironing board. Balcony, patio, sun terrace, outdoor furniture, an outdoor dining area and a garden, with sea, garden and mountain views. A children's high chair, board games and soundproofing. Non-smoking.

Self-catering. The kitchen is fully fitted and there is a dining area indoors and out; nothing is served on site and Kvalnes has no shop.

Haverringen at Kvalnes, on the north coast of Vestvågøy, right on the beach. Booking.com's district for the property is Kvalnes; Kartverket has no registered settlement name at the map pin, so the locality is taken from the listing. Henningsvær, the closest destination this guide covers, is about 22 km away in a straight line.

Booking.com puts Leknes Airport 31 km away. The road out to Kvalnes is rural and a car is effectively required, though bicycles are free once you are there and the owners confirm a charging point for an electric car at the house.
