Rorbu in Stamsund, near Leknes

Ytterviks Rorbu stands at Buøy on the edge of Stamsund, a working fishing village on the south side of Vestvågøya. It is a semi-detached unit of 50 m² with its own door, let whole to one party rather than by the room.

Two bedrooms hold a double bed and a pair of singles, so four people fit across three beds, with one bathroom and a shower. A living room, a satellite flat-screen TV, a washing machine and a kitchen with an oven, hob and dishwasher make it workable for more than a night or two; air conditioning and soundproofing are listed as well.

The sauna is the draw, with a balcony and terrace looking out to sea and to the mountains behind. Parking is free and Booking.com clocked the free WiFi at 102 Mbps. There is a minimarket on site, and pets are accepted.

Why stay here

A private sauna and a sea-facing balcony in a self-contained rorbu for four, roughly 900 metres from the Stamsund ferry quay, with pets accepted and free parking.

Who it’s for

  • Families

Two couples, or a family of four, travelling by car and wanting a self-catering base in a working fishing village rather than a hotel room. It suits anyone arriving on the ferry into Stamsund, and it takes pets.

Highlights

  • Private sauna
  • Two bedrooms and three beds for up to four
  • Sea and mountain views from the balcony
  • Pets accepted
  • Free parking and WiFi measured at 102 Mbps
  • Minimarket on site

Things to consider

Check-in runs from 16:00 to 23:00 with your arrival time sent ahead, and check-out is between 07:00 and 11:00. The house rules offer a free extra bed for a child up to 15 on request and then state that no cots or extra beds are held, so settle that before you book. Quiet hours run from 23:00 to 07:00, hen and stag groups are turned away, and guests of 18 and over pay the adult rate. Stamsund lies about 10 km from Leknes in a straight line, so a car helps.

The accommodation

One rorbu of 50 m², semi-detached, with a private entrance. Two bedrooms — a double in one, two single beds in the other — give three beds and a maximum of four guests. One bathroom with a shower, plus a living room, a balcony and a terrace. Four stars on Booking.com.
