Omaha Cottage - Maison 17ème renovée - 800m Omaha Beach. Grand jardin clos.

Participated in D-Day events in Normandie, incredible location, beautiful home, smooth process. Would do it again!

Lovely spacious accommodation providing the perfect large family venue within easy walking distance of Omaha Beach, the American military cemetery and the Overlord museum whilst being at the quieter end of Omaha. Also great enclosed grounds to provide secure play for our grandchild. Great selection of resturants at nearby Port Bessin and only 30 mins from Bayeux. Great base to explore the Normandy beaches and historic sights.

Very relaxed, spacious and comfortable cottage in a superb location. Hope to get the chance to return soon.

Omaha Cottage is beyond lovely! We were 7 adults ranging in age from 25 to 84 and everyone was smitten. The kitchen is well equipped and worked great for a family dinner each evening. The living room was warm and cozy for after dinner games (and the occasional fire), bedrooms were comfortable and pretty. The garden/yard was perfection. Roses climbing the walls, fresh herbs to snip for meals. It was put to good use each evening with games of boule. We have stayed in many HomeAway digs (England, France, Italy) and this was my favorite. Thank you!

The Property was really comfortable, with everything we needed on hand. A lovely welcome from Christelle who made sure we settled in, as well as comprehensive instructions for the house and the appliances. The heating was just right and the beds comfortable. We visited the Invasion beaches, Honfleur and Bayeux during our week as well as walking Omaha beach. Golf at Omaha Beach club is very enjoyable- though a tough course to play in the winds we had on the first time we played it. If you want to cook, there’s some wonderful fresh fish and shellfish available from the quay at Port en Bessin. Mme. Bonnet was very helpful with information and always responded promptly to emails. Everyone in our group loved this property and voted it the best we’ve stayed in during our visits to France over the last ten years.

We all enjoyed the house and garden very much ( age range 3 to 79 ). Easy reach of the glorious beach, museums , shopping and restaurants. Weather was a bit disappointing. Although the finances worked out fine in the end, it is tiresome to have to retain 600 euros as a deposit until departure and then have to change it back into £ on return to UK. This is not a requirement we have come across anywhere else. Although we did not particularly mind paying a cleaning charge we were unaware that there would be such a charge until we were leaving and had already spent some time clearing up ourselves..

We enjoyed our week at this lovely French stone house. The property is in the same village as the American WWII cemetery. There is a large eat-in kitchen and a comfortable living room with a fireplace. The gardens are a delight. We had most of our happy hours in the garden and enjoyed picking fresh herbs for our dinners. Thanks for allowing us to use your beautiful home.

This house is amazing. The owner has it decorated beautifully with every possible amenity-dishwasher; washing machine; new bathrooms, electrical outlets everywhere. Mr. Bonnet answers emails immediately and I peppered him with questions! We were met by Christialle at the house who keeps it SPOTLESS. The linens and towels were new and fresh. The house was immaculate. The four bedrooms were comfortable. The back yard is walled. It is huge, and we spent most nights eating outside, grilling several nights with the grill that was provided. We booked through HomeAway, so unlike other reviews, all the money passed through home away. We provided a security deposit of $650 that was returned when we left. We did pay the $60 cleaning fee as we felt that was a bargain! The house is really big, with two rooms downstairs, the large kitchen and the large living room. There were even games provided. (Scrabble French version was quite fun!). Finding it was a little tricky, but the directions provided by Mr. Bonnet were appropriate; we just didn't follow them well. There is a tiny café open in the afternoons for lunch; otherwise shopping has to be done in Port En Bessin, about a 10 minute drive away to the Super U, which has everything one needs. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this house was to our two families, eight adults. There is even a crib for a child! Bayeau is only about minutes away. From this house we drove to Mont St. Michel (1.5 hours), Cherbourg (about an hour), Honfleur (a little over an hour), Caen (about half hour) and countless other abbeys and chateaus that dot the Normandy countryside. There are multiple fermes selling local cidre, pommeau, and calvados. They are all wonderful and worth trying. There was enough in the area to engage the folks in their 70s, in their 40s, and in their 20s! It is a fantastic site.
