Lovely cottage, full of character and very well-equipped. Superb location, a short walk to Asnelles beach, and a short drive to Arromanches. Bayeaux is also in easy reach by car.Both the owner and managing agent are extremely responsive and helpful.We visited in October so were not able to make use of the secluded garden area, but I think it would be very nice in the sunnier months. We did make good use of the wood-burner which added to the cosy atmosphere in the evenings.All-in-all an outstanding property.

Stay in the Heart of History

We had a perfect stay. The home is charming, well-appointed and stocked. The owner and his house manager Aurore were lovely and very easy to reach with any questions. But the best part of staying in this home is its location. Asnelles is a charming, quiet town but is easily accessible to Bayeux and Arromanches, directly in the heart of D-Day history. But even better, Asnelles is situated in the center of the northern Normandy coast, making it easy to take day trips all the way west to Mont St. Michel or all the east to Honfleurs, Le Havre and Giverney. Thank you Gregory!

Wonderful Home and Stay

This cottage was the absolute perfect place for my husband and I and our three children (11, 7, and 2) to explore Normandy. The communication from the owners was excellent, the house was beautiful and exactly as pictured (even better in my opinion), the beds were very comfortable, and the outdoor space was great. Our children loved the bunk room and that it even had a bin full of children's books, among other things that made traveling with kids much easier and more enjoyable. The bedroom window treatments were another bonus that made adjusting to a big time difference much easier on us! They have truly thought of everything to make their guests comfortable and we really hope to return one day!

Loved this former fishermen's cottage in Asnelles!

Wished we had planned a longer stay! Beautifully appointed, very clean and comfortable. It was a great home base for our adventures. Short walk to the beach, easy drive to Arromanches and a bit further to Bayeux. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage, Gregory!

Fabulous vacay

We had a great stay. The place was super clean and well equipped and stocked. The outside terrace was great for our three girls (5-9 yrs). The owner was extremely helpful and gave us some great tips to the region and places to visit. The local restaurant was closed both nights However, Arromanches had a lot of options and the view of the bay and ocean was spectacular. Thank you Gregoire! I highly recommend this place!

Cute, comfortable and clean

Great backyard and fantastic location. We loved our stay at the property, and it was a perfect size for our group of four adults and two children. The beds we're so comfortable and the room for the kids was perfect! The stairs were a bit steep, but they weren't a problem for us. We walked to the beach and to the charming town for groceries and breakfast. We would recommend it to anyone looking to visit Normandy.

D Day

We booked Asnelles as it was very convenient for the D Day commemoration , and so it proved to be. A short walk to the beach and at low tide a walk to Arramanche. The house was lovely but the weather could have been a bit better (not their fault). The heating in the house kept us warm and there was a log fire , all ready to be lit, should we have needed it. Gisela met us and was charming. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful, well equipped cottage.

This is a great property in a lovely, peaceful location. It’s really well-located for exploring the area and the d-day landing beaches, and is decorated and equipped to a very high standard. We had a great visit, and may well be back for more!

Wonderful cosy cottage. Perfect location to explore the Normandy coastline.

We had the pleasure of staying in La Bella Spiaggia for our family trip to visit the Normandy Region. The cottage is superbly decorated and comfortable. The wood burner provides additional heating if needed. The kitchen is fully stocked and the outside rear garden offers a quiet space to relax. Access to the bedrooms is via a spiral staircase. 2 of the bedrooms have sloped roofs but are still very spacious. The staircase to the top floor is steep and more of a ladder than a proper staircase. It is still easy accesible though and has a ensuite toilet. Guille who calls at the property and is on hand if you need her is very helpful and speaks good English. There is a €250 deposit payable on arrival. This is returned when you leave so not an issue. I dont recall it mentioned when booking though. There are other optional fees if you wish for cleaning and bed making to be done for you. Would happily stay here again. Thank you very much.

Wir waren zum zweiten Mal in diesem wunderbaren Haus. Es ist toll eingerichtet und verfügt über einen gemütlichen schönen Garten. Es liegt in einer ruhigen Wohngegend und man kann von dort zu Fuß, mit dem Rad und dem Auto zu Ausflügen an den Strand, die Natur und den zahlreichen Sehenswürdigkeiten starten. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

Nice house equipped with all conveniences

We enjoyed the house and garden. The house is fully equipped, with a complete kitchen inventory, and everything is well maintained and attractive. We used the bedroom in the ‘attic’ as the master bedroom, because in the other double bedroom the bed was against the wall, which we didn't find very practical. The staircase to the ‘attic’ is very narrow. All in all, a perfect house for anyone who wants to stay in the D-Day area.

Es ist sehr sauber und es ist alles vorhanden. Nett dekoriert, so dass man sich sehr wohl fühlen kann. Der Ort selber, indem das Haus liegt ist extrem ruhig. Wunder schöner Ort, sehr pitoresk jnd nicht überlaufen. Alles in allem, würde wir wieder kommen und können das Haus jederzeit empfehlen.

Perfekte Ferien im perfekten Haus

Wir hatten einen exzellenten Aufenthalt in Gregorys House! Das Ferienhaus war makellos sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet und mit vielen geschmackvollen Details ausgestattet. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns der persönliche und aufmerksame Concierge-Service – wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an willkommen gefühlt.Unsere drei Kinder (5, 8 und 10 Jahre alt) hatten genauso viel Freude wie wir. Der sonnige Garten und die große Terrasse waren ein Traum. Auch die Ausstattung ließ keine Wünsche offen – es gibt zwei Kühlschränke, von denen einer ausschließlich für Wein vorgesehen ist. Ein kleines, aber feines Detail, das uns sehr gefallen hat.Wir haben wunderschöne Ostertage in Gregorys House verbracht und können dieses besondere Feriendomizil uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Herzlichen Dank für diese unvergessliche Zeit!
