Excellent location for WWII sightseeing
Review Submitted: July 14, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
Our vacation was primarily a D-day/WWII/Band of Brothers sightseeing tour and the location of this house was absolutely perfect. All the airborne attractions we wanted to see were just minutes away by car, and some we could even walk to. Utah beach was very close, and even Omaha Beach and Bayeux was not far or hard to get to. Mont St Michel was just a little over an hour away also. The house itself was beautiful, clean and well kept. The 3rd floor was a bit warm, if the owner figures out the locks on the windows it would be as airy as the rest of the house. There are many antique furniture pieces we steered clear of, spending most of our time in the Kitchen/dining area. The antiques might not be a good idea for families with small children unless they are extremely well behaved and respectful of others property. The kitchen was modern and had every gadget you could possible want to use. Delphine, the owner, and her family were extremely pleasant and helpful, explaining everything in detail. I give her an A+ for her customer service. All the descriptions of the amenities in the advertisement are spot on accurate. The place was wonderful, the price reasonable and I would stay there again and recommend it to others. The upstairs bathroom was amazing, large and well lighted with a very deep water jet tub. After three 12-14 hour long days of sightseeing a nice hot bath was just what the doctor ordered!
There is a supermarket right across the street, so shopping was easy, and a bakery within a couple blocks. but beware-things close up early in Carentan including this store! Shop in the morning. Restaurants were a problem, as they closed very early, or didn't open at all (was it off season there? our stay was the end of June). The only other slight disappointment was the lack of WiFi at the house. There are 3 floors with narrow, steep steps, so the elderly or those with disabilities would have a problem, but otherwise the house is perfect for adults, teens and children.
All in all I would describe this property as excellent and my party and I loved it and would highly recommend it, especially for WWII history buffs interested in seeing all things connected to the war, as it was the ultimate perfect location.
