Accommodation near the Normandy beaches

[Bryn]

I have spent the last hour googling.... can anyone recommend somewhere for 3 bikes to stay close to the beaches? ( 3 rooms needed 2 doubles and one single)

I'd like somewhere within walking distance of cafe's / restaurants... and close to the coast .. not a palace needed but nice would be good!

( Stayed at Maison Laudiere last year, lovely but I'd like somewhere nearer the coast this time)

Going for 3 nights in June ( 14-16 )

Heads up would be most apprciated

www.normandybeach.co.uk. Its in Arromache and I 100% recommend it.
Off road parking, tools available from the owner, a great breakfast and English spoken. It was hot when we arrived and the ice bucket was full of free beer to welcome us.

Adrian and Karen will look after you there. Have stayed there myself many times over the years.

Have a look at hotel-du-6-juin in Sainte Mere Eglise if you have no other luck - about 100yrds off the main square where the church is.

Owners really nice. Basic (but perfectly acceptable cos you're not in during the day) when I stayed there, but looking at his website, it's had a makeover since.

Within reach of all the beaches & other sites, and walking around Sainte Mere Eglise around midnight was a bit spooky as it was dead quiet & you could just imagine what it was like on D-Day (also good museum there).

Looks good... and they have rooms...what's the parking like?

Chateau Le Mont Epinguet has proved a popular choice for many GS'ers over the years and Mark & Fiona really do look after you.

Chaps, thanks for all the suggestions....

I've now managed to find one in the Centre of Carentan, I'd sent an enquiry earlier and she's got back to me.... it looks good... and 5 minutes walk from the town centre....

Thanks Steve

We'll be arriving on 14th June for the weekend.... I'll get in contact with you a little nearer the time.....

It will be good to at least have a meet up... and if it includes a few of the attractions all the better

Exactly. Our room was basic but adequate when we stayed there. The dingy corridor didn't give a good first impression, but the room was OK.

The wife wasn't impressed, but my 12yr old still reckons he had the most comfortable bed he's ever slept in.
