The blacksmith's place - Cozy Rorbu in Lofoten

Tolle Lage! Sehr sauber und superschnell Aussicht

Une cabane charmante et chaleureuse, super emplacement face au port, très calme et proche des points d’intérêts.

Location gorgeous. Correspondence helpful. Appreciated early check in.

Sleeps 4 but only a two seater sofa for relaxing in the evening. This is my only gripe but a significant one as it takes the shine off the long evenings if some have to sit on an upright chair.

Wonderful location, between two picturesque villages (Reine and A)

Nothing

Location was great! Close to the ferry in a small fishing village, nice view of the small harbor, peaceful setting, and a good base for exploring the tip of the Lofoten islands. The traditional rorbu is rustic - you can imagine the history, but comfortable with amenities. The bedrooms are small with narrow beds, the dining/living room cozy but a good size. Hosts were quick to respond to questions. I wish we had stayed longer.

The location! Small fishing harbor off the beaten tourist track, magnificent views day and night, close to the most beautiful sites in southern Lofoten, a very good restaurant nearby (Maren Anna), lovely winter walks in the village on either side of the harbor. Cosy interior and comfortable bedding. An efficient stove for long winter nights. Check-in granted as early as 2pm to enable us to arrive before dark. Please note that the agency recommends a 4x4 for winter access to the accommodation, as the last short stretch of road is quite steep. Having an ordinary car, we chose to park before this last stretch (about fifty meters), on the spot recommended for parking during snowstorms, and it was perfect that way (you just have to carry your suitcases a little further, but nothing insurmountable). Shovels available on the path leading to the rorbu for clearing snow.

No internet (wifi access is limited, and previous guests had obviously used up all the available capacity). Minimalist furniture and kitchen equipment, when all that's needed is 2 real armchairs instead of chairs, a small piece of furniture to put your things on in the bathroom, and additional equipment in the living room (no tongs, gloves or shovels to remove ashes when using the stove) and kitchen to make it perfect. Also missing are instructions on where to dispose of the rubbish.
