“Lovely house, but power issues”

It is a really nice cosy house with lovely fjord views but the issues we faced on our first night really derailed the experience (see below). Nonetheless, the hosts were very contactable, although the trouble is no WhatsApp, the only way to communicate is through Booking.com app or costly international calls.

“Excellent property close to spectacular day hikes”

This delightful property was cheaper and twice the size of the modernised fisherman's hut where we'd stayed the week before in popular but crowded Moskenesaya. A picture window looked out onto sea and hills. The hiking was strenuous, spectacular and mostly unfrequented. We saw no-one on walks up Haveren, Storknubben and Haven, one other party on Svarttinden, and about a hundred on Hoven. The grass coastal track north from Steira makes a pleasant stroll on a rest day.
