Wildlife Panorama Lofoten

Bicycles on the doorstep, a fireplace, and four views from one plot — sea, lake, garden and mountain — in a 110 m² house on the quieter northern end of Vestvågøy, 19 km from Leknes.

A family of four or two couples who want to cycle and cook. A cot and a high chair can be arranged, so a baby is workable, but no extra bed can be added for a fifth person. The late check-in window suits an evening arrival off a delayed flight.

Check-out is by 10:00, early for a self-catering house, though check-in runs as late as 23:30 and the property asks for your arrival time in advance. Children of four and over are charged as adults. A cot can be requested but the number allowed depends on the rate booked, and no extra bed can be added, so four is the working maximum. Pets are not accepted, the house is non-smoking and hen and stag groups are refused. The address is a rural one on the north of the island, so a car is effectively needed.

One detached house of 110 m² with three bedrooms and one bathroom. The first bedroom has a large double bed and takes two guests; each of the other two has a single bed and takes one, giving four in all across three beds. The bathroom has a bath or shower, a toilet and a hairdryer, and towels, linen and toilet paper are provided. There is a private entrance and the house is non-smoking.

WiFi, a private parking space and bicycles, all at no charge. Air conditioning, heating, parquet floors, a desk, a sofa, a seating area, a fireplace, a dining table and a flat-screen TV indoors. The kitchen holds an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a microwave, a toaster, a fridge, a kettle, kitchenware and cleaning products; laundry runs to a washing machine, a tumble dryer, a drying rack, an iron and an ironing board. Outside: a terrace with furniture, an outdoor dining area, barbecue facilities and a garden. A high chair is available.

Self-catering, with a full kitchen, a dining area indoors and a second table outside. Barbecue facilities and a high chair are provided. No breakfast, restaurant or bar is listed, and Lofotenmat Sa, 25 km away, is the nearest food supplier the listing names.

The house is on Knutstadveien in the Bøstad area of northern Vestvågøy, Vestvågøy municipality, with an 8360 postcode. Booking.com records the district as Bøstad and the setting as rural, with sea, lake, garden and mountain views from the property. Leknes, the nearest destination in this guide, is 19.2 km away in a straight line and the Borga radar station is the closest landmark the listing names, 17 km off.

Booking.com gives Leknes Airport as 21 km away, Vestvågøy Rådhus 22 km, Lofotenmat Sa 25 km, Galleri Espolin 41 km and Nusfjord 46 km, with the Borga radar station 17 km off. Parking at the house is free and private, and bicycles are available for getting about locally.
