Gite Utah du Domaine de Saint-Vigor

Amazing stay with an amazing family, we stayed at the property and really enjoyed our time- great location! awesome hosts and hired Vincent to give us a tour for 3 days. he traced the history of my great uncle and took us along his path after he landed on Utah beach to where he was killed 30 days later. Vincent is knowledgeable and provided information we could have never found on our own, a trip of a lifetime- we will be back. Vincent and Marie were incredible hosts!

The hospitality of Marie and Vincent was over the top!! So helpful and willing to help us navigate the French language with our limited knowledge of it. A really fantastic central location in the Normandy area with very comfortable cottages. We stayed in Omaha, which is the smallest, but quite comfortable with a private back patio area looking over the neighboring fields.

Pros: Our hosts were so nice and helpful. We were worried after we made our reservation about what we were going to actually find, but as it turns out, we had a lovely stay. The property is essentially an event space for weddings and conferences, with 2 or 3 cottages that are short-term rental accommodations. Our particular cottage (Utah Cottage) had 4 bedrooms upstairs (along with 2 full bathrooms), and each bedroom had 2 or 3 beds, meaning you could really pack in a bunch of people if you wanted. (An earlier review said that the beds did not have bed sheets, but that was not our experience; the host had made up the beds with sheets and blankets.) The downstairs had a living room, dining table, and kitchen. The house has only the essentials, which is fine. On the grounds are some cows, chickens, and cats. When our friends had car trouble, the hosts were so incredibly nice to call us a taxi to Bayeux. Breakfast was available (if desired) for 12 euros per person, and the host would cook it in your unit. Cons: The property is located far from anything else, and so bring with you all food you need. There was no coffee or other food or drinks in the unit, and so be sure to bring coffee as well if you want it.
