Excellent stay near Omaha beach

This was our fourth visit to Gite Dune. A lovely property in an excellent location, clean and well equipped with comfortable beds and excellent WiFi. Private outside sitting area with views across the orchard. A short drive from Omaha Beach (5 mins), Bayeax (15 mins) and Caen (20 Mins). Would definitely stay again.

Lovely stay near Omaha Beach

This is our second stay at Gite Dune. Spacious gite set in lovely gardens, three good sized bedrooms and large kitchen/diner. Lovely to have the use of the wood burner (David provides logs) and plenty of space to relax in the evening. Short distance to Omaha beach and short (15 min) drive to all the shops in Bayeaux. Hoping to be back next year!

Dune

The house was immaculate and very tastefully decorated. Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful setting with extensive garden. Excellent location near the beautiful town of Bayeux. A good base to learn the history of World War 2, very close to the museums. Walking distance to the Overlord museum and American Cemetery. Only 2Km from Omaha beach, where there is a water sports centre, also sand biking and sand yachting. Owner met us on arrival, a big bonus is that he lives on site, therefore is available for queries, not that we had any.

Beautiful setting and excellent location.

David and Claudine welcomed us to their gite, after coming to find us as we got a little lost. The gite is well equipped, stylishly decorated and comfortable. The location is very quiet and excellent location for some star gazing. You can walk to the Overload Museum and American cemetery. We took a drive to the beach but you could walk if you wanted to. Several other Omaha museums are within a very short drive. We had a welcome bottle of David's home produced cider which was delicious. We were left to enjoy the tranquility of the gite but with knowledge that David or Claudine were close by if we needed anything. Overall a most enjoyable stay in Normandy.

Uns hat es bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten gut gefallen. Der Garten und die Lage sind traumhaft. Die Aussenanlage ist sehr gepflegt. Es wäre schön, wenn die Gartenmöbel und auch die Stühle im Essbereich erneuert würden. Ansonsten haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Es ist alles da, was man braucht.
