Normandy Landing Beaches Hotel Guide - Independent Hotels with Pool Hotels in Normandy Landing Beaches, Calvados

The hotel is absolutely beautiful. It used to be a residence and became a hotel 26 years ago. The staff was attentive and efficient. The room was spacious and had everything you could want. Comfy bed and a nice sized bathroom. We slept with the windows wide open and had the fresh air steaming in. It was so quiet! The breakfast was superb. They had everything you could want and it was delicious. I would definitely return to this hotel.

The woman who runs the hotel is a little abrupt, but she is doing this all by herself from what I could see. She does have help with cleaning the rooms, and I actually saw the bedspreads and comforters being removed for cleaning. The towels are thick and clean. The windows work well, and the rooms looks like they have been renovated recently. Kiddy-corner across the street is a great pizza place to eat that serves wonderful salads, crepes, galettes.

Just spent one night here after ferry journey. Hotel is fine. Rooms little tired. Clean but need some work for the prices charged. We were moved from our first room because we couldn't see how to work blinds (well couldn't see any blinds but apparently they were there). No need to move us really - someone could have just shown us the trick. Second room was larger but one bedside lamp for three beds. Basically nothing matches. Some might find this charming but it does rather look like someone has just been out to the local shop/market. Lovely garden out the back of hotel which has its own parking - a definite advantage. Near the beach but don't expect too much time on the balcony as main road is busy. Breakfast was nothing spectacular but ok. Staff were friendly. Overpriced for what it is. A pet hate is shower gel in dispenser. Think for these prices we should have something classier or at least know what it is. Amazing firework display on beach the night we were there which was an added bonus.

Nice little home away from home walking distance to Juno Beach. Owner and staff helpful and pleasant. Best shower in there too. The town is quiet pleasant and friendly. I love Normandy and this is a beautiful area. I would come back for sure.

Spent two nights here which was not enough! This is a fascinating and beautiful area to explore and Pierre & Vacances provides an ideal base. It is within easy walking distance of Juno beach and the Canadian museum and not far to Arromanches and the other D-Day beaches. We booked it to avoid a night in Paris and travelled easily into Caen to park and catch the train into the city. The journey was very comfortable, half the price of fares in the UK for twice the distance. The accommodation is 'bijou' but very practical and everything we needed, except a toaster, which we could have hired from reception if we wanted to but we managed without. Just a short stride to the restaurants for an excellent choice of evening meals, coffee etc. Others have commented on the short opening hours of reception but it is not difficult to organise arrival time to fit in and we didn't find it a problem. The pool is lovely but the changing room is quite tight and not as private as British visitors might like especially at closing time. I threw a towel round me and hurried back to the apartment for a shower! Lovely and quiet, perfect for a few relaxing days or longer if you are lucky.

The proprietors of this hotel make staying here a delight. The rooms are clean and comfortable and breakfast is very good. There is a bar where you can sit and chat with Eric and Carole over a glass of wine after a day of roaming around Normandy.

It is a great little place with excellent staff. The place was clean and in a great area to see all the sights. The staff were very helpful and have some great tips for the tourist sites.

Large, spacious, spotlessly clean room. Beds made up, towels changed daily. Cheap, satisfying continental breakfast buffet (croissants, pastries, bread, cereals, cheese, cold cuts, preserves, juice, tea/coffee/choc/milk) optional per person per day. Staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming and very patient to someone with minimal French language ability!! Great location in the centre of all major D day beach sites and near to town of Bayeaux for Abbey and Tapestry. Be warned however, many websites still show pictures of the outdoor swimming pool at the hotel. This has been filled in for some years now and used as an outdoor dining area !! Beach is very close indeed though and is huge, sandy and water is lovely.

This is a neat and quirky hotel with an excellent location. To get to your room with luggage can be a challenge. Very, very narrow spiral stairs....like climbing a ship's loft. We had an excellent view of the sea and slept well. Was a fun place to stay, but avoid if you are not up to the climbing challenge. We lucked out and found free parking on the street. Neighborhood is very safe.

Very enjoyable stay .......................................................................................................................................
