    It has two bathrooms which is great, but only one toilet on the ground floor (the bedrooms are on the first floor).

    The apartment is next to a restaurant - after arrival you can pick up the keys at the bar - which is helpful if you need a quick lunck or dinner - we used this opportunity and were happy with the value for money. The apartment is also very close to the Omaha Beach, only 2 minutes drive to that phantastic sandy beach. Also well located if you want to explore all the D-Day memories.

    There are a few things the owner should improve. First is that the door to the bathroom does not even latch shut so a light breeze can blow the door open. Second was that not enough towels are provided. For four people we were given three tiny towels. And there were no dish towels (or napkins) in the kitchen.

    Very roomy and comfortable. Pretty modern and clean. Loved that there is a full kitchen and washer and dryer. Very close to the beach and pretty quiet, even with the restaurant next door. Close to the beach and U.S. cemetery, and only a few minutes to a highway.

    Location right next to a busy road during daytime, but we didn’t have problems sleeping at night because it quieted down. Bigger bath towels would’ve been nice, but we were forewarned by previous reviews and came prepared with our own.

    Gite looked exactly as advertised on photos. It was clean and spacious for a family of 4.

    No access to busses.. taxis are difficult and expensive to come by. a car is really necessary. Also only ONE toilet for the whole house in the lower level all the way by laundry room.

    Close and easy walking to most attractions. Can preorder food from next door restaurant.

    Its a pity that the wash basin is not located in the WC, it is in the next room (the shower/laundry room). The stairs are a bit dangerous for young kids (and older adults) but managable with care. There is no WC upstairs so you do have to navigate the stairs during the night should you need to use the WC.

    The proximity to Omaha beach was great. The gite was compact but clean and nicely decorated. It was great to have the washing machine & drier as we are a family of 6. The kitchen facilities were good for eating in and there was also the convenience of the restaurant onsite for eating out (La Cremaillere, the owner of which also owns the Gites... A discount on the restaurant would have been nice 😁)

    We enjoyed our holiday stay at Gîte Utah in Normandy and found the location convenient, hosts friendly, and the house well-equipped for all our family's needs. We would recommend visiting the hosts' restaurant next to the house and enjoying the delicious cuisine there. We hope our feedback will be helpful to others who are considering staying at Gîte Utah in Normandy.

    Beds in themselves were comfortable but not sure what the sheets were made from but they made you very hot! Curtains didn't make the rooms particularly dark, more decorative and I prefer a dark room.

    Very conveniently positioned for the d-day beaches, Bayeux and anything else in normandy you may want to visit. Not far off the main autoroute and just a short walk (uphill on the way back!) down to Omaha Beach. Dish washer, washing machine and tumble dryer which was a bonus. Didn't have problems with noise from deliveries as others have mentioned.

    Only one toilet that is downstairs. Makes it hard for elderly folks if they have to be going in the middle of the night. The noise from the road if you have windows open. We did notice more traffic noise on weekdays and not on a weekend. I’m sure in winter with windows closed the noise would be no factor. Overall, the good definitely outweigh some of these minor details.

    The property is in a good location with a restaurant next to it that serves delicious food. The place was spacious with all the necessary household appliances. Standard fridge (not the small hotel ones), washer, and dryer. Our room had two showers which was perfect for 6 of us.

    During late night and early morning the restaurant is supplied by truck and trolley carts, that for sure will wake you up. when windows are closed everything should be ok

    the space was enormous for the three of us, easy to fit 5 comfortably. All kinds of equipment available , very easy for laundry and own cooking. 2 bathrooms. Nice owners and helpful close to beach and museum’s. Attached pizza restaurant , very convenient.

    Towels would have been nice, but we made do with beach towels.

    The location was perfect for exploring all of the major WWII sites and The Bayeux Tapestry. A 10 min walk to the Omaha beach museum and beach. It was only a 5-10 min drive to the American Cemetery and the Overlord Museum. And about 20-25 min to St Mere Eglise and the Airborne Museum ( highly recommend). 1 1/2 hour drive to Mont St Michel!

    The pillows, mattress protector & duvet were a polyester type material which make for a sweaty night's sleep. But this is just personal preference and not a fault of the host. The restaurant being closed in the evening again this isn't the hosts fault. Must have transport due to Gites location and distance away from supermarkets.

    Great location for ww2 beaches. Quiet and relaxing. Spacious apartment, well equipped apartment. Great shower and plenty of hot water. The restaurant next door did tasty food. The host was super friendly and helpful.

    Very unpleasant owner. It was the first time we had such an experience with booking.com that we had to clean up the apartment or the owner will charge 70eur. It was not mentioned while booking. Booking.com was trying to reach her, but she didn’t answer to them. Please be prepared !
