Hike along dramatic cliffs to see the iconic lighthouse and thousands of puffins nesting on this remote westernmost island. Take a guided tour to spot seabirds and enjoy breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean crashing against rugged shorelines.
"Overall a 4.7 rating. I would absolutely book with them again if I ever return to the Faroe Islands. But it's about expectations.
The three of us who stayed in the boathouse don't require much.
The common area was wonderful, with a view of the channel, the breakwater, and the small harbor. It was the perfect place to sit with a cup of coffee to watch the sky lighten in the morning, or have dinner and drinks in the evening after a long day exploring the islands.
I love that there was a kitchenette where I could make breakfast for our trio before we headed out for the day.
The boathouse was clean, well-kept, and very cosy.
You'll need a rental car because it's in the middle of nowhere (which is part of what makes it great). There are two grocery stores, a liquor store, and two pizza places within a 5-minute drive.
A couple "warnings" for travelers used to nice hotel rooms:
1) The beds (and the rooms they're in) are *tiny*. My bed was about 18" (0.5m) wide. That's not a complaint, just information.
2) For North Americans: bed linens are European-style "bottom sheet and duvet w/ cover". If you're looking for NA-style bedding, you'll want to look elsewhere.
3) Hot water for showers is limited. Set the temperature to "warm" and the flow to "eco" and you'll get a good shower.
Lítlastova is an absolutely wonderful place to stay for those who want a cozy place to stay and can take care of themselves."
"Lovely and cosy accommodation with beautiful views of the town and harbour. Kitchen amenities were excellent, shared bathrooms large and well maintained. Host was friendly and greeted on day of arrival to ensure you had everything you need. Located a few minutes walk from both the bus stop and supermarket. In good weather it was a pleasant walk to the airport as well! I would be very happy to stay here again :)"
"We had a fantastic stay at Osla's cottage. The location is absolutely amazing....the scenery from every windows is just a postcard.
Kitchen has everything you need to cook your meals...plus the owners were kind enough to leave us coffee, tea and all the essentials for the first few days. Beds are so comfortable but the serenity of the area/village is what it makes the place so magical. Plus you have hikes right across the road! I can think of just one thing...coming back soon!!! Thank you again for sharing your beautiful place with us. Lili&Adrian "
