Great stay at Port-en-Bessin
The house was a nice walking distance to shops in Port-en-Bessin (although up and down the hill into the town made for good exercise). Quiet. Nice hiking from the house. Astrid, the property manager, was wonderful. She was very responsive to our communication and also very aware of the covid measures (she always wore a mask when at the house during check-in or check-out or when exchanging towels and linens. We especially enjoyed fresh seafood from the market on the pier and the public markets on Saturday.

Loved it
Every aspect of this house suited us ideal for two adults. Superb location with short walk to the lovely port and free fireworks every Friday evening. Only one problem? That driveway entrance needs levelling out as I scraped my car underneath even being very careful. Would stay again anytime 😊

Lovely property on the edge of the town
A lovely property on the edge of the town. A steep walk up the hill but well worth it for the views (note mainly from up starts windows).
One word of caution - if driving a large car or one with limited ground clearance - the road is narrow and the drive way tight. The entrance first has a small kerb then loose material before a raised ridge of concrete. This is badly worn on both sides making access difficult. Loose large stones had been put to assist by previous people but one of these stood up and badly damaged a car panel when we arrived. Suggest parking just up the hill by the golf course (20m).
Apart from that a great stay!
We would recommend to friends and family.

Das ideale Haus für eine 4-köpfige Familie mit Teenagern
Herzlicher Empfang in einem maritimen Ambiente. Wir haben die Möglichkeit genutzt Bettwäsche und Handtücher zu mieten. Älteres Haus auf schön eingewachsenem Grundstück mit großer Terasse und rundum Sichtschutz. Großes Angebot an Restaurants und Geschäften, die gut zu Fuß erreichbar sind. Ruhige Lage mit toller Aussicht auf den Außenhafen .Wir waren 2 Wochen dort und würden wieder hinfahren.
