House Reviews

This place is charming and spacious. Would stay here again. The host left us a bottle if chamtand snacks , which was a nice treat after a long drive.

We originally had a hard time finding the place but host was gracious and kind and helped us. We went in November and lots of things were closed nearby but it is a fabulous property.

Very cute cottage by the sea with room for the whole family. Central to D-Day invasion sites and the Bayeau Tapestry.

Ideally located close to Gold Beach and in the center of the D-Day landing beaches and battle sites that need to be visited. Was very good value for money but the toilets/bathroom locations were a little challenging. Overall a great place to stay.

Sp happy we stayed here for our visit to the beaches of Normandy. We only stayed a few nights but could easily have spent a week here. This place is huge and could accommodate way more than just the 3 of us. Plenty of bathrooms and full washer and dryer on-site. Parking for us was not a problem. Location was right in the heart of Gold Beach with an amazing view of the ruins of Mulberry B. You are so close to the beach you can hear the waves crashing. This makes for great sleeping if you like that. Communication with the host was efficient even though we never met her in person. The special gift she left was a very nice touch and much appreciated. We are already planning our next trip with friends.

Our communication with the property manager was excellent, she made sure that we had all the information needed in advance and responded to any questions immediately. The property was in a great location for seeing the d- day sights.

This was a wonderful location steps from the beach with history all around. The town is adorable. Parking is a bit confusing if you are not fluent in French.

Very good communication before the holiday. Easy to find once details sent and the house could not be in a better location for a family holiday on a fantastic and safe sandy beach just 30 metres from the home and superb for exploring D Day sites on both sides of Arromanches. Also nearby are Bayeux, Caen and Honfleur. 45 minutes by car to Caen (Ouisterham) ferry terminal and 75 minutes to Cherbourg. We went out via Caen and returned via Cherbourg to/from Portsmouth on excellent Britanny Ferries. The house comes with everything imaginable for families. 2 twin rooms and one double which has 2 cots as well. PlUS a great view out to the Mulberry piers and spectacular sunsets and sun rises. We found French prices to be very reasonable and the cost of living is much lower than UK in supermarkets, tourist attractions and fuel. Countryside and villages are timeless and very attractive and driving extremely easy and sensible. No speeding and very empty roads. All in all, we were delighted with the entire holiday and would recommend this accommodation without reservation for families and adults but perhaps with one proviso! There are three sets of very steep narrow stairs- one from garden entrance to living room and kitchen and a second from living area to the two twin rooms, both sets of which everyone has to use. The third flight is tricky with a sharp corner to reach the double room on top floor which of course is optional. Not a problem at all for normally fit people and well worth the effort to reach the top floor but just be aware of the existence of these three sets of stairs. Enjoy!! We did and hope you will. Lovely place to stay and in heart of Arromanches for shops, cafes and restaurants.

Despite a shaky start we enjoyed our D-Day beaches holiday. We arrived to find the cleaner half way through preparing the property for our arrival. She wasn’t expecting us until the following day. This was a matter of poor communication between her and the host, but once this had been relayed to Nathalie (the host) the problem was resolved quickly. We feel we were mislead by the listing on the VRBO website as the property was advertised as having 3 bathrooms. This is not entirely correct as none of the bathrooms included a toilet. Essential when there are 3 couples sharing a property! There were 2 toilets in the property, one on the middle floor and another oddly off the kitchen. Had this been clear on the VRBO website we would not have considered booking. A floor plan of all properties on this site should be compulsory. We were disappointed in the general condition of the house. We found the approach to the house to be difficult to find and unattractive with a refuse bin that was full in the doorway. It would be beneficial to give detailed directions and maybe a map from the main road as you cannot get a vehicle into the actual road where the property is situated as there is a no entry sign. It was tired and felt grubby and there was a dreadful smell of drains. It would benefit from a deep clean and a general tidy up in the courtyard which felt neglected and unloved. Cleaning products in the kitchen should also be supplied. The dishwasher tablets were rationed to approximately 6 and there was nothing to clean work surfaces with. We have stayed in other properties where basic cleaning products are available and if it is to be kept at a decent standard these are essential. It should also be pointed out that parking can be difficult at peak times. From June to September there are restrictions in the road around the corner only allowing parking for 1 hour 30 minutes. There are public car parks but they come at a very high cost.

Great central spot for touring Normandy Beaches. We really enjoyed our stay and the town.
