Gamle Prestegård

Lofoten


Værøy's smartest lodging and dining is on the island's north side. It's the large house with wood-lined rooms and a flagpole in the garden beside the church, just where you'd expect the vicar to have lived. Food is nicely prepared with fish at every turn. It's a simple but lovely place to stay.
