Stayed with my Wife and Grandson and my best friend and his Wife. The house is amazing,spacious and clean. Beds are comfortable. It’s in a quiet area but close enough to all the bars, restaurants and tourist shops. All the D Day beaches and museums are within a short drive.There is a very well stocked supermarket a 10 minute walk from house. It’s roughly a 45 minute drive from the port at Ouistreham. A quick text to our hosts when we landed with an eta and they were waiting for us when we arrived. Very friendly and gave us a guided tour of house. We shall be back without a doubt. This place is fantastic. Thankyou so much.

We had a wonderful holiday in this gorgeous gîte! It was a fabulous place to stay! Everything was perfect and the location could not have been better. The beautiful port was within walking distance, with lovely walks, shops and cafés.
We were warmly greeted by Valerie and we felt at home straight away. Our grandsons loved the enormous playroom, while we could relax in the lovely lounge! We were sad to leave and look forward to coming again!

This was a lovely large home in a very quiet location. It was within a short walking distance of the port with shops and restaurants and near the local grocery store. It was immaculately clean with a large living area and three very spacious bedrooms with 2 modern shower rooms.

Short but wonderful stay
Short but wonderful stay
We only spent two nights at this property but it was the perfect location for our tour of Normandy. The town of Port-en-Bessin is charming and we could walk to the port. The owners gave us good restaurant recommendations and were very pleasant to deal with. The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We were only sorry that our stay was not longer.

Great property and location for the Normandy beaches
Great property and location for the Normandy beaches
Property was lovely and ideally located for the town of Port en Bessin. We walked to the bakers to get fresh bread, pain au chocolate and croissants every morning. And The supermarket isn’t far for other supplies. The town was lovely, and the walk all round the harbour is nice. Wander over to the beach on the opposite side/ right of the harbour and see the shells. The pizza restuarant on the corner - they have a gold fish on the bar and it’s called something to do with the sea / m? opposite the boat restuarant was very good and went twice.
The garage was great for the kids with a basket ball hoop and table tennis when it was wet / or dark. We took 3 kids that loved sharing the one room and 4 adults in the other 2 bedrooms.
We used it as a base to visit the Normandy beaches, cemeteries, Pegasus bridge, Bayeau tapestry, Honfleur and the 360 cinema at Allemande.
You will need your own soap, dish washer tablets, washing powder, coffee filters and towels. We paid separately for bed linen and cleaning up after us.
Fantastic family and friends holiday highly recommend property, venue and experience.

OK for a short stay but...
OK for a short stay but...
The first impressions were good as the gite looked pleasant from the outside and inside the main room that comprised the kitchen, dining and sitting areas looked good and well equipped. However, on getting ourselves established, we started to find some problems.
Firstly, the good points:-
• The gite is situated in a pleasant residential street about 5 mins walk from a supermarket and 10 mins from the town and its harbour. Port-en-Bessin is a very good centre with plenty of restaurants to match all pockets and an interesting harbour and quay to stroll around both during the day and the evening. It’s a short drive away from delightful Bayeux and the Normandy beaches.
• The gite was very clean and well equipped. When we had a problem with a blocked sink and the heating, it was attended to by the owner’s son quickly and efficiently.
Now, onto the detractions:-
• The bedrooms, especially the main one, are spacious but for some reason, poorly equipped. Ours had a large wardrobe that had only shelves – we had to use the coat-hooks on the wall for all the shirts, dresses etc we would normally hang up in a wardrobe. There were 3 decorative chests of drawers in the sitting area that could have been moved into the bedrooms for practical use. Our room had no mirror.
• Whilst well equipped, it was showing signs of age – several cups, plates etc were chipped and we had to wash up after most meals as there was insufficient crockery for more than one meal for 4 of us. The bath towels we were provided with were poor – small and thin.
• There was a distinct lack of consumables – we had to go out and buy black plastic bags, toilet rolls, washing up liquid and paper towels. A welcome pack of, say, bread, milk and butter would have been a nice touch.
• Outside, it’s OK but grounds mostly taken up by the drive and parking space. There is a small table with chairs but it doesn’t have the ambience of a pleasant garden to lounge in on a hot day. And with the neighbour’s constantly barking dog, it was hardly peaceful.
In summary, it’s OK if there’s a large group of you just staying a few days and seeing the sights, but if you’re looking for something cosy and for more than, say, 5 days, try elsewhere. And it’s neither 5 star nor charming!

We found the property to be spacious and had the added bonus of an indoor basketball /ping pong play area so if it was raining there was still something to do. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the bathrooms were nice and modern. The house is within walking distance of the very pleasant seaside port.

We`ve just come back from a fabulous holiday based in Port-en-Bessin, staying at the fabulous Ance de Mer. The photos on the website really dont do justice to the spaciousnes & quality of the property, & it was equipped with everything needed
Its situation is perfect - in a peaceful quiet area, yet only a 10 minute walk to the picturesque small harbour town of Port-en-Bessin, & is central for great drives to all the important D-Day sites
We were met by the lovely owners Francois & Valerie who were very helpful with going through all the aspects & details of the house, & also local information. They were also there to see us off at the end on the holiday
All in all a great holiday - the best we`ve had for many years, so we hop[e to coe back again sometime in the future
Thanks guys!

Heerlijk huis
Heerlijk huis
In een van de warmste periodes hebben we in dit huis verbleven.
Binnen bleef het ondanks de hitte buiten aangenaam koel. Het huis is compleet ingericht , van alle gemakken voorzien en zeer ruim. Het contact met de eigenaren voor en tijdens het verblijf waren zeer aangenaam. Doordat we onderweg weinig file hadden waren we eerder dan verwacht in Port en Bessin, we hebben dit laten weten waarop de direct naar het huis konden. Leuk dorp,, op een ongeveer 7 minuten lopen is er een bakker, Op 10 minuten lopen vindt je de haven met verschillende restaurants. Om de hoek is er een supermarkt. In de buurt zijn mooie stranden (bij oa Colleville-sur-Mer), hou wel rekening met het tij. Kortom een heerlijk vakantie in een mooi huis. met vriendelijke groet Jaap, Nel, Rogier en Lennard

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Viel Platz. Selbst bei Regen konnten wir uns n der "Garage" mit 120 qm sportlich betätigen. Selbst Rundlauf beim Tischtennis war super möglich. Einkaufen in 5 Gehminuten Entfernung. Sehr schöner Markt am Sonntag. Der Hafen/Geschäfte/Restaurants ist in ein paar Gehminuten gut zu erreichen.
Wohnlage sehr ruhig. Alles in Allem super.
