Holiday home in Sørvågen

This is the one listing in the batch with no Booking.com page behind it. It is let by Lofoten Vacation, an agency based at Sandveien 35 in Bøstad, and everything below comes from the agency's page for the house, re-read on 20 September 2026.

The house stands at Besselvågveien 88 on the shore at Sørvågen. The agency records three bedrooms, four beds and one bathroom with a shower, and sets the maximum party at six. The kitchen has a cooker, an oven, a fridge, a dishwasher, a coffee machine and cooking utensils; there is a fireplace, central heating and a terrace facing the sea. Bed linen, towels and basics are put out, and a smoke detector and fire extinguisher are listed.

What the agency sells it on is walking distance: a supermarket is given as under two minutes away on foot, the villages of Reine and Å are close by, and the Reinebringen trailhead is put at under ten minutes by car. Parking is included. Check-in is 17:00 and check-out 10:00.

Why stay here

A whole house on the waterfront in Sørvågen with a fireplace and a sea-view terrace, and a supermarket two minutes away on foot — a combination that is hard to find between Reine and Å, where most stays need a drive for milk.

Who it’s for

Two families or a group of friends, up to six, who want to cook and to be able to walk to a shop. The fireplace and the drying that central heating allows suit walkers coming back off Reinebringen, which the agency puts under ten minutes away by car. Pets are not allowed, so dog owners should look elsewhere.

Things to consider

There is no Booking.com listing for this house, so the terms are the agency's: 15% of the price falls due when you reserve and the balance twelve days before you arrive, with paid prepayments refundable only while you are more than twelve days out. Check-in is 17:00 and check-out 10:00. Pets are not allowed and smoking is not permitted. The agency states a maximum of six guests across three bedrooms and four beds, but gives no bed types and no floor area, so ask how the six sleep. One bathroom serves the house. Because the only source is the letting agency's own page, there is no guest score and no independent description to set against it.
