호숫가에 위치한 외크스네스 휴가지 숙소

Ons verblijf was heerlijk. We hebben enorm genoten van de ligging, de omgeving, de rust en het uitzicht. 's Morgens wakker worden met zicht op de fjord is echt een cadeautje. In de directe omgeving kun je mooi wandelen en goed vissen op onder andere makreel. De locatie is centraal gelegen ten opzichte van de Lofoten, Andenes en Stø. Sortland is goed aan te rijden voor restaurants, boodschappen en overige winkels. Het huis zelf is heerlijk met veel licht en authentieke details. En Einar is een goede gastheer die er alles aan doet om het tot een fijn verblijf te maken. Een échte aanrader en we wensen iedere andere gast dezelfde mooie ervaring als die wij hebben gehad.

The house is in a small community (Gisloy) which itself is on a little peninsula (Gisloya) that is mostly a nature reserve. The view from the dining table, with the sea and the mountains, is fantastic. The house is a family property since a century, and it is clear the family loves the house. If you like peace and quietness, you will enjoy this place: Gisloy is 7 km away from the next buildings (where you can find a nice coffee bar in a 2nd hand shop -- it's the nearest place where you can spend money). The larger village Myre is 15 km away, this is a place with supermarkets. There are several good hikes within driving distance, but they are not 'walks in the park'. We very much enjoyed the whale watching safari that started from Sto: we could observe 6 killer whales during almost an hour, at a distance of 5 to 50 m. Very much recommended, but beware that the success depends on the weather an on chance. The restaurants in Nyksund were a hit too (the road to get there is 'challenging').

We spent three wonderful days on Skogsøya. The house, although not traditional in style, was superbly positioned overlooking the sea and the neighbouring islands. The huge picture windows give an ever changing view that in real life are much better than the photos. We walked the coast road and several of the footpaths some of which climb hills behind the house and offer views over Vesterålen. You can hike to the north coast, but it gets very boggy beyond the big lake. Check the ferry timetable before travelling and if you arrive on a Sunday remember to do your shopping the day before! We would wholeheartedly recommend staying in Anders place on this magical island.

If we could give Einar 1000 stars, we would! Not only is the cabin beautiful, but Einar has made our time here so special. He gone above and beyond as a host, we can’t sing his praises enough! The cabin is new renovated, the views are spectacular, and the island is peaceful and walkable. The ferry over to Myre is convenient, where you have everything you need. The perfect get away!

Gastgeber:Freundlich, geduldig, hilfsbereit. Unterkunft: ein wunderschönes Haus, mit einer privaten Straße und Grundstück. Ein toller Ausblick, ob Wohnzimmer oder Schlafzimmer/Bad. Würde gerne wiederkommen. Hunde waren auch kein Problem gewesen. Vor dem Haus kann man auch angeln 🎣 . Da es die ganze Zeit geschneit hat (Anfang/Mitte April), wurde uns sogar von „den Nachbarn?“ die privat Straße bis zu der Einfahrt frei gemacht.

Perfect stay, thanx.

Jarle and Kirsten have been wonderful hosts, Sharing their private Holiday Home. It s located ca 20 min outside of Sortland with significant distance to the next Hut, ensuring maximal quietness&privacy, in Summer a Lake ia Close by. We found all we could possibly need in the hut. Watching the Northern lights from the Whirlpool (little extra) was a dream. We were feeding the wild birds and sad to leave such a nice place. Internet is quick and reliable. Communication with the hosts was super friendly and quick. Thumbs Up - clear recommendation if you search for a place to recharge your batteries.

To stay at Håvard's place is a treat. You will live in an authentic farm house where every little corner has been set up to store things. This has been by far one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. Strongly recommended.

We had a beautiful and relaxing stay. Great landscape and perfect location for visiting Vesterals and Lofoten. Rooms were clean and with enough space for our family of four. Sitting outside on the terrace during sunny weather gives you extraordinary sight at surrounding mountains and the sea. Contact with Morten was amazing. Friendly and clear in communication. Also helpful with questions regarding beautiful places nearby. I wish we could have stayed for longer.
