Perfect Accommodation in the heart of the Marais
Having travelled extensively in France for over 30 years, we can acclaim this accommodation as the best organised and equipped that we have stayed in. Roselyne and Dominique have thought of everything a family might need during their stay and were charming and informative hosts. The house is spacious and capable of accommodating a large family with young children and has it’s own covered parking area. In particular, in addition to the bathroom upstairs, it has a separate toilet AND a separate shower room downstairs. An extended living space can be closed off with a sliding door and the sofas converted to beds to create another private “bedroom” downstairs. Located a short walk away from a Boulangerie and large Supermarket in Carentan, it is an ideal location from which to explore the Parc Naturel Regional des Marais du Contentin et du Bessin or the Second World War Memorial Trail on the Normandy coast which is just a 15 minute drive away. Our only complaint was that our time was too short - we will enjoy a longer stay next time!.

Great location for Utah and Omaha beaches
We Highly recommend staying at this house if you plan on visiting the Normandy area. Utah and Omaha beach are less than 30 minutes away and there is plenty to see and do within the 30 minute drive in either direction. Roselyne and her husband were very nice and made us feel welcomed. The house is wonderful with plenty of space and a grocery store just up the road along with a few restaurants in the area. If we head back to this area in the future, we will definitely stay at this house. You will not be disappointed with the location or the friendliness of these two lovely people.

Carentan/Normandy Beach landing accommodation.
What a wonderful house and location to live and view the main Normandy beach landing sites. We had 5 great days travelling from the house to all the major sites and then back into Carentan at night where there is a fine selection of restaurants for meals. We took our 2 grandchildren with us (10/14) and spent an afternoon in Carentan public swimming pool which is the best I have ever been in. So clean and a tremendous "wave track" which takes you round extremely quickly. The owners of this property live next door and are on hand for any little thing you made need to ask. They will however Leave you completely in peace if you want privacy. Local huge supermarket is at the end of the street for everything you may need. Would return to this house In an instant.

Superb jumping off spot
Fantastic accommodation with great hosts. M. and Mme. Lecaplain provided everything we needed, the house is fitted out and furnished to a high standard and the log burner warmed the house right through on the cool days in March. The house is located just off the main road through Carentan and is ideally placed for exploring the landing beaches with off road parking and a 5 min walk into town. The house had great showers and a lovely kitchen/dining area and would be ideal for small families as well as just for couples. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay there and hope to go back again very soon. Massive thanks to M. and Mme. Lecaplain for everything, we'll be back ;)

A perfect base to explore Normandy
A friend and I have been taking our motorcycles on holiday for the last 11 years and this year we decided we wanted to tour the Normandy beaches and be able to ride some good roads. This house provided us with the perfect base for our 5 day trip. Well designed, spotlessly clean, great facilities, very friendly owners, parking for our bikes and walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants in the town it ticked all our boxes and at the end of the trip we were very sorry to leave. We would have no hesitation in returning.
