The Tide - Hotel

一共只有幾間房，很安靜！早餐內容不是很豐富，味道還行。相比更加網紅的小紅房子，我覺得這邊更舒服，至少不用擔心沒有充足的熱水洗澡。

We spent one night and decided to come back for our last night in the Lofotons. Very, very accommodating. Very hospitable hosts. The rooms are very nice. The restaurant - The Havet- served one of the best meals we’ve had in Norway. We want to come back the next time we come to the Lofotons

Considering that Norway is the most expensive country in Europe and that the breathtaking scenery and quaint fishing villages of Lofoten make it the country’s #1 tourist destination, the high price of the converted fisherman’s cabins here is pretty average. The cabins are refurbished to modern standard but are somewhat spartan. Mine had a stove-top but no oven, not even a microwave or a toaster, and the lack of a dish-rack meant that you had to use the dishwasher at least once a day or else improvise. The bathroom was similarly minimal. The bed was comfortable but not properly balanced, so the upper mattress kept on slipping off one side of the bed overnight! I had to park the car on the clifftop and walk the final 50 m to the cabin (which was 800 m from the reception). But these are minor issues: the setting is fabulous in all weathers (and staying a week meant I did see the harbour, village and mountains in brilliant sunshine, torrential rain, swirling fog and eerie stillness). Self-catering is a good option in a country where restaurant meals are exorbitant, and the traditional rorbuer on the water’s edge are definitely the place to stay. The environment is peaceful, the staff friendly and efficient, wifi excellent and everything clean and functional.
