Really lovely property in great location. Enjoyed sitting on terrace watching the boats come in and out. very close to local restaurants and shops. We got croissants from local bakery everyday for breakfast. In the evenings you can walk to harbour and watch the sunset or do some of the local walks. There is a local contact in case you have any problems. Well equipped, modern KitchenPhotos on website are a bit confusing, but there are 3 double bedrooms: 2 upstairs and one downstairs with ensuite bathroom (with flat floor shower). Plus separate WC downstairs and another bathroom upstairs. This was great for us, as one of our party has mobility issues so they could be based on one level with accessible bathroom. So great property if you are looking for disability access as we were.

This house is exactly as described. Great location for exploring DDay beaches and beyond. The house is generously supplied in the kitchen. Very modern appliances and furnishings. Astrid greets you, orients you and arrives for a fond farewell. This was the perfect place for me, my son and daughter-in-law on our visit to Normandy.

Most enjoyable stay in Port en Bessin

This is our second time staying here, and it was even better than the first time. There were two fantastic firework displays in the harbour area, one at the start and one at the end of our week here. Local restaurants all good, especially breakfasts. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here to anyone. James.

Perfect place to stay in Normandy

We spent a week here. We easily explored Omaha Beach, American cemetery, St Michel, St Malo, Honfleur, etc. It is perfect in every way. Great views of the port, you can walk right to all the restaurants, patisseries, boulangeries. The bedrooms are comfortable and having the extra 1/2 bath downstairs is a plus. The terrace is a gem. Amazing views and you can eat under the covered part even if it is cold or raining. Highly recommend. Communication was excellent.

Lovely property with harbour views

Lovely views, conveniently placed for exploring the Normandy D day landing beaches. Near to restaurants and village shops. Local bakery is excellent just across the bridge. The house is fully equipped, the third bedroom is very small. We enjoyed our stay here immensely.

Great place to stay

I was swayed by the amount of positive reviews and they were right! The terrace is larger than I expected and such a great place to spend time. The town is also prettier than I thought it would be. We hired bikes from the garage and cycled to Bayeux, visited museums, swam, walked, went to the markets in the town. Ice-creams from Le Glacier are v good.

Lovely house in a great location

We had a lovely week. The house is very well equipped, clean and is in a great location. It was nice being able to sit out on the terrace - the glass veranda was excellent as we were able to sit outside whatever the weather. Jean-Luc answered our emails promptly and Astrid was very helpful with local information. We will return sometime.

Lovely location / great sun terrace

House has a great location to local and regional amenities. The Port is busy in the day, but everything is shut by 10.30-11, which makes a quite (sometime too quite stay). House great, the stairs are creaky but you get use to them., we found our double bed VERY firm, but the rest of the house worked really well. The local fish market is amazing a provided lots of interesting food. Getting out and about to beaches and all the locations around the area is very easy as we brought our own car. We would highly recommend this for a family holiday as our teenagers also had lots of fun.

One of the best

This was our fourth stay in this superbly-placed house, and we never tire of it. How could one, in such a wonderful location? We've stayed here on our own (my wife and I), with relatives from California, and this last time with a widowed sister-in-law with whom (and her late husband) we've travelled the length and breadth of France, and she says that le Havre Portais gave her "a memorable experience". We'll be back!

Excellent location with fantastic views of the port.

The town is in a perfect location to explore the Normandy beaches and surrounding beautiful countryside. Sunny patio in the evening. We were there as they were preparing for “La Benediction de la Mer” - a festival that happens every 5 years. Enjoyed watching all the preparations and festitlvities. The owner, Jean-Luc was responsive to our enquiries and we were very grateful to our local contact, Astrid, who was very helpful.
