18th century stone house in the heart of the D-Day landing beaches

Catering three stars. Rare for rent Old farmhouse of the 18th century stone Caen fully restored 1.5 km from a huge sandy beach, furniture and upscale decor. Jacuzzi in the garden optional. Living room, dining room, kitchen, fireplace, 6 bedrooms, 1 with mezzanine (new bedding), 2 bathrooms, one with walk-in shower, teak terrace and walled English garden. Barbecue, patio heater for the mid season. Bikes. TV, DVD, games and books for many children. Free WIFI Calm and relaxation assured. Rental all season.
Located in the heart of Bessin our property offers the quiet and charm of the Normandy countryside to 1.5 kilometers from the beach gold beach bridgehead of British troops June 6, 1944. You can indulge in the joys of fishing on foot or make walking and cycling tours. Cultural venues abound in this wonderful region (Bayeux Tapestry, castles ...) or indeed places of memory (American cemetery at Omaha beach). The seafood and fish are fresh from morning to Asnelles pool or Courseulles market (open every day of the year). The area is known for its fine cuisine.

Very cool historic farmhouse
The farmhouse was a great experience for our family. The character and layout had us wondering what life was like there in the 18th century but we still had all the amenities we enjoy today including a hot tub that our younger daughter loved. Plenty of room and ample kitchen which allowed us to cook after long days touring all of Normandy. Our travels were delayed so we did not meet our host so check in and parking was a bit confusing but that was not their fault. If the same thing happens to you on a future stay, it's street parking a few feet up from the house. Once we figured that out, everything was great.

The house was spacious and clean. Our hosts were quick to answer our questions and were very accommodating. Would definitely stay again. There was a 100Euro additional charge to use the hot tub, but well worth it.

Such a beautiful old house and garden
We all enjoyed the peace and tranquility of this old typically French house with its corridor’s and staircases. The kitchen was fine for the four of us but would be a squeeze for larger groups. The garden and hot tub were just perfect to relax in and with such lovely weather, we spent most evenings at the table in the garden playing board games. I wouldn’t assume that you could work on line from this house as the internet service was poor but for us it didn’t matter. The village is perfectly situated for visits to the beach, local restaurants and the War Memorials. I would happily recommend this as a holiday home in a beautiful part of France.

Home with charm, room for all
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home in Normandy. We were 2 families with 3 teenagers, 7 in total. The setting was absolutely lovely, with space for all. David and his wife were there to meet us and walk through the property. They answered all of our questions and were very helpful overall. The home is full of charm and character - a very unique experience. We rented a car and were able to see many of the sites and beaches, which were an important part of our trip. We would definitely stay here again.

A gem in Normandy
We wanted a nice house to stay in while in Normandy, not in a big city. This was perfect! A renovated 1800 century home with all the modern amenities. We had rental cars and toured all the local sites from this location. It fit both rental cars. The owners are amazing and so helpful too! We highly recommend this house.

Nice place
Lovely area, and perfect place to explore the Normandy Beaches. We did our excursions by bicycle and found that there are many dedicated cycle routes which was nice. The property is a little quirky because it is old, but comfortable. We were 6 adults and it was perfect for us. There is room for more, but you would need to be couples, kids, or very good friends! The kitchen is small, but equipped with most things you would need. All in all, would recommend

Location location location
In a fantastic spot quite beautiful friendly , perfect for visiting and remembering all those soldiers who fought in D-Day and World War One and two. House is stunning a few little issues not advertised is the parking is not directly outside the house but it is only up the road. There is 2 toilets but one is in the front with a door But very little privacy . You cannot use the wardrobe in the bedroom nearest the bathroom upstairs . The third floor bedroom Has a bed and a pull out settee it's a beautiful room but only has a sink and shower not good for anybody who has a disability as it 3 stories up , and navigation the stone steps has left me with very sore heels after falling down them. It's a struggle with 12 people for the toilet. We was a party of 12 and two of the children had to sleep on the sofa down stairs in the front room not practical. I would say it's better for a party of 6 . It's a beautiful house defiantly in the right area to the beach shops and the Bayeux Tapestry.

Lovely comfortable house, nice area
We really enjoyed our stay in Ver-sur-Mer. The house was just as good as it looks in the photos - lots of character, but clean and comfortable. Nathalie was very responsive and helpful both before and during our visit. The garden is a little smaller than it looks in the photos, but it is a sun trap and we were lucky enough to be able to sit in the sun from breakfast at 7am until dinner at 8pm. The village of Ver-sur-Mer was surprisingly nice and had a lot of character. Despite the house being surrounded by other houses it is very quiet and the garden is very private with lots of birdsong. The village is very spread out and there aren't many local facilities - a basic boulangerie, mini-market and tabac about 15 mins walk away. The beach is about 30 minutes walk, though we did cycle a couple of times - 2 or 3 of the bikes work, but most have faulty brakes and/or gears. The nearby town of Courseulles was nicer than expected - it has a lot of holiday apartments but also lots of nice restaurants and a good fish market every day. We bought fresh fish in the market several mornings and barbequed it for lunch and dinner - very good prices for excellent fish, filleted and prepared for cooking by the fishmonger. The local seaside towns are clearly popular with French holidaymakers, but we saw very few other English cars or foreign tourists. The surrounding area is very rural, with huge wheatfields and combine-harvesters and tractors working 20 hours a day in August. Be aware that there is NO parking either at the house or on the road immediately outside. We were disappointed to only discover this when we arrived with 2 cars which we had to park 150m away at the edge of the village. Also the local contact is a bit unreliable - even though we arrived and left at the agreed times she wasn't there either time. We had 6 adults and we had plenty of space, although there is only one toilet (two shower-rooms) for 5 bedrooms. While in theory the house could sleep 12 (or even 14 at a push) the bathroom and kitchen facilities wouldn't really cope with this. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay - the house was better than we expected and I would happily recommend it.

Mooi verblijf geschikt voor minder mensen
Bijzonder verblijf in een pand met karakter. Goede keuekenuitrusting, wifi, etc. Wij waren met 4 stellen en 5 tieners/kinderen. Er zijn 14 slaapplaatsen waarvan 2 waar je als stel kunt slapen. De andere slaapplekken zijn gecombineerd. Een slaapkamer gecombineerd met een dubbelbed erboven, of twee slaapplekken verbonden met elkaar. 2 wc's waarvan één in de woonkamer is ook weinig. Ook parkeerruimte is beperkt. Dus geniet van dit bijzondere huis en prachtige tuin met wat minder mensen.

Week end entre amis
Dans la globalité, un très bon week end dans une maison charmante. De bons contacts pour répondre aux questions, flexibilité d’arrivée et de départ très appréciable. Malheureusement, l’hygiène des lieux n’était pas irréprochable… Rien à dire sur la literie. En revanche, présence de fourmis dans une salle de bain et la cuisine (malgré la présence des pièges), pas mal de sable des précédents locataires dans le jacuzzi (preuve qu’il n’a pas été nettoyé avant notre arrivée alors qu’il s’agit d’une prestation payante en supplément, ce qui est réellement dommage), sols pas très propre et vaisselle globalement sale. Des prestations agréables mais pas vraiment à la hauteur de la description de l’annonce : une baie vitrée pas encore réparée qui laissait vraiment passé l’air et refroidissait beaucoup la seule pièce où nous pouvions nous retrouver tous ensemble autours d’une table ; le parasol chauffant pour l’extérieur qui était vraisemblablement lui aussi cassé et inutilisable ; une cheminée sans bois (pour 2 jours, il aurait été agréable d’avoir quelques bûches…). Dommage que tous les vélos présents devant la maison soient crevés (même si, ici, l’annonce ne précisait pas leur présence, ça pourrait vraiment être un plus à votre location !). Petit plus pour la boulangerie de la ville qui fait de supers pains et viennoiseries, et une localisation qui permet de se balader vers les plages du débarquement. Nous restons très satisfaits de notre week end :) Merci de votre accueil.

Logement chaleureux
Nous avons apprécié ce logement particulièrement chaleureux le temps d'un weekend assez pluvieux entre amis. Lors des éclaircies nous avons profité du jardin très agréable et bien pensé. Le secteur permet de belles visites de musées de la libération, bien adaptés aux enfants, et de la belle ville de Bayeux. Vu la route pour venir, nous avons apprécié le fait que, contrairement à certaines dérives concernant les locations de weekend à l'heure actuelle, le propriétaire ait attendu le jour du départ pour finaliser les échanges à propos de la sortie des lieux. Nous recommandons ce logement.

Maison ancienne, dont l’architecture intérieure et la décoration créent une “ambiance” tout à fait particulière. A côté de grandes pièces communes, l’aménagement de l’espace réserve des “coins” charmants pour s’isoler. La terrasse est spacieuse et facilite les moments conviviaux. Bien isolé des vents, le jardin, est très agréable - le spa est un plus. L’équipement est complet, fonctionnel (le piano a été apprécié) et l’environnement très calme.
