D Day Remembrance Weekend

We could not speak more highly about this property and the welcome that was shown upon arrival !! Very clean property and lovely welcome package. Beautiful setting and gardens. The biggest compliment for our stay is for the homeowners. We arrived early and without hesitation the homeowners allowed us to park on the drive and allow access. Any questions were answered immediately. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable and credit to the team !

Lovely Place

Such a lovely property to stay in with the family for our holiday. The house is in a great location for visiting the Normandy beaches and various other bits and pieces around Normandy. The local village is perfect for anything you may need and only 2 minutes down the road. Plenty outdoor and indoor space at the house to use with everything you would need to cook etc. John was very good at communicating any questions I had and the welcoming instruction booklet lets you know everything you need to know. Would 100% recommend to anyone :)

Des points positifs mais des améliorations à apporter et manque de précisions dans l'annonce

La maison présente de nombreux points positifs, cependant quelques points sont à améliorer. C'est une maison annoncée pour recevoir 8 personnes et ne comporte qu'une salle de bain avec une disponibilité d'eau chaude dépendante du compteur jour/nuit ne faisant fonctionner le chauffe-eau que la nuit. De ce fait, à notre arrivée le soir après un long voyage, la douche à l'eau chaude n'a pas été possible, le ménage de la maison ayant été effectué dans la journée, plus d'eau chaude ! De même, la douche n'est pas possible à 8 personnes en fin de journée, par exemple après une journée de sport/plage. De plus, le garage n'est pas accessible lors de la location (présent sur les photos). Le problème est que les précisions/détails sur la maison ne sont envoyés dans un document explicatif que 5 jours avant le début de la location et une fois le règlement intégral effectué.

Very sad to hear of your disappointment. I am in the process of commissioning a "smart" remote heating control system, so that I can set the heating and hot water times and temperatures from anywhere remotely. I will also ensure that hot water is always available at the times guests want it. A note has been added to the house instructions on where bikes can be stored safely, on the premises.

Vakantie 2022

positief -Mooie ruime woning, alle faciliteiten voorzien. -eigenaar behulpzaam en bereikbaar via vrbo en telefoon. -dichtbij dday plaatsen en stranden - schoon, netjes verbeterpunten - gebouwbeheerder slecht bereikbaar. we hadden probleem dat de voordeur niet op slot kon vanwege defect deur, contact op moeten nemen met eigenaar omdat beheerder niet voldoende hielp. - warm water via een boiler die maar 1x per dag opgewarmd wordt. Een reisgezelschap met een aantal personen kunnen niet allemaal douchen met warm water. als 1 iemand gebruik maakt van het bad, is er nauwelijk warm water over voor 1 douchebeurt.

Front door faulty key has been replaced with a new one, no problems since. Hot water tank has now been set to switch on any time of day, whenever reheating is necessary.

About the host

Hosted by John H

Host profile image
Now retired, we are an English couple resident in southern UK, with around 20 years experience of owning and operating our French holiday homes, in the Dordogne, Brittany and now Normandy. Les Bleuets is our latest acquisition, having sold our previous French houses, and we have set it up to a very high standard. It is a beautiful and stylish house in a wonderful location, offering a superb base for exploring and enjoying the historic Normandy beaches area with it's unique blend of pleasant countryside, lovely towns and coastal delights.

Why they chose this property

Short drive to the Normandy Beaches.
Many interesting museums and war cemeteries nearby, commemorating the D-Day Landings and liberation of France.
Great coastal walks nearby.
Mont Saint-Michel and the Cherbourg peninsula easily accessible from the house.

What makes this property unique

Only 15-20 minutes drive from the historic town of Bayeux, with it's tapestry, cathedral, great restaurants and shops, and regular traditional street markets.
Close to the channel ferry ports - Caen/Ouistreham 35-40 mins, Cherbourg 45-50 mins.
Very comfortable house in a lovely rural setting.
