Superb property let down by furniture and maintenance
First impression of property from the road was excellent, dissappointing rear garden needed maintenance, BBQ not useable as no grille, old and rusty. Interior of property downstairs, door handle to bathroom fell off, but didn't work anyway as no tongue to latch, same as second double bedroom, shower head blocked and shower attachment on riser does not stay up so you have to hold it. No bulbs in light in third bedroom with single beds, there was still rubish on the floor of that room even though we arrived after the 4pm time. Upstairs all the lounge furniture is old, uncomfortable and sub standard, with normal bedding pillows and quilts covering it. The smallest TV I've seen for many years, lights not working upstairs on the mezannine, various bulbs not working in lounge area. We had an email 12 hours before we arrived informing us that bedlinnen and towel were not included, too late for us to bring any as we were already in Portsmouth that evening for the early ferry the next day. Bed matresses were not box sprung as stated and were just foam. Departure was stated in the book as 12 o'clock, we were then informed the night before we had to leave by 11 am. Kitchen was OK. Sorry to leave bad feedback, never have before and have stayed in France previously many times. It is such a shame as the house and location was superb and had it not been let down by the abovementioned we would have been happy to recommend it to friends. Richard Simpson

Family stay in July
We really enjoyed our stay in this spacious house, right across the street from the beach. The house was very clean, the views of the beach and sunsets beautiful. The only problem we came across was the hot water heater, which had to be reset almost every day. Apart from that, everything was great and we keep fond memories of this stay.

Literally 5 seconds to the beach.
You cannot beat the location for this property. You walk across the cycle path and you are on miles of Normandy beach. During our stay we golfed and visited the D Day beaches and memorials. Longest drive was only about 30 minutes drive. The house has everything you would need in your own home.

Lovely house and location
Generally very happy with our stay. Ideal location in a lovely house right by the beach. A few minor details just let it down slightly. We couldn’t use the balcony because the door was broken, no CD player, not a great deal of local information - restaurants, things to do locally etc. A better welcome pack would be good. Otherwise we had a great family holiday.

Lovely house in a fantastic location
We had a lovely week in June staying in this brilliantly located house. So nice being able to cross the road and be on the beach especially with small children. The house was well equipped and the owner was really helpful in answering all our questions before we arrived

Beautiful house and a really relaxing stay
We loved our time here. The house is lovely, it has everything you need and being right on the beach is amazing. We had some lovely sunsets. We are a family of 2 adults and 4 kids ranging from 15 down to 2. There really was something for us all, from pony rides and karting to the older ones just having the freedom to use the cycle paths and go grab a pancake in the evening. We used the BBQ and ate in most of the time, it was really just like home. Thanks so much, we will definitely be back.

A beautiful ideal beach front holiday home for families or large groups
We thoroughly enjoyed our week away in Ouestreham. The house was perfect for all 3 of our families and we loved the open space layout. Plenty of room and very comfortable and clean with all the usual facilities and amenities. Right on the beach front and just a short walk from Ouestreham itself. Plenty of lovely English spoken restaurants and bars and only about 5 minutes away from 2 supermarkets. In close distance to all the historic places which are a must to visit. We will definitely be returning to this house.

Great stay in Ouistreham
Property was better than in the add. Location is superb. The town of Ouistreham had everything we wanted, and it was located perfectly in the heart of Normandy.
