Excellent stay near Omaha beach
This was our fourth visit to Gite Dune. A lovely property in an excellent location, clean and well equipped with comfortable beds and excellent WiFi. Private outside sitting area with views across the orchard. A short drive from Omaha Beach (5 mins), Bayeax (15 mins) and Caen (20 Mins). Would definitely stay again.

The house was immaculate and very tastefully decorated. Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful setting with extensive garden. Excellent location near the beautiful town of Bayeux. A good base to learn the history of World War 2, very close to the museums. Walking distance to the Overlord museum and American Cemetery. Only 2Km from Omaha beach, where there is a water sports centre, also sand biking and sand yachting. Owner met us on arrival, a big bonus is that he lives on site, therefore is available for queries, not that we had any.

Lovely stay near Omaha Beach
This is our second stay at Gite Dune. Spacious gite set in lovely gardens, three good sized bedrooms and large kitchen/diner. Lovely to have the use of the wood burner (David provides logs) and plenty of space to relax in the evening. Short distance to Omaha beach and short (15 min) drive to all the shops in Bayeaux. Hoping to be back next year!

A Fantastic late summer break.
The gite was just as good, if not better, than shown and described on the website. Every aspect was more than satisfactory, from bathrooms - brilliant showers - to beds - most comfortable - sitting room and TV showing BBC World News. Cannot write too highly of all the facilities which included a daily delivery of baguette and croissants, did we enjoy those breakfasts!! The siting of the Gite in Colleville sur Mer was perfect, just a stones throw from Omaha Beach and a superb place to be on the year of the 75th Anniversary of D Day landings. We, all four liked David Lamaire the owner, and he could not do. enough for us which included a supply of Normandie cider and calvados. David was a superb host and meeting with him added to the enjoyment of the holiday. There are no adverse comments to make only praise for a superbly sited and well furnished gite. Many thanks to you David including the restaurant recommendation for our final night dinner which we all enjoyed. Monica & Alex SCOTT Marian & Alastair FORSYTHE

Family holiday
It was in the most lovely quiet village with in good quick trips to places of interest. My brother-in-law hadn’t been before so we returned again this year to show him the beach where his dad landed in the war, Sword beach. But the cottage and the garden were a delight to wake up to in the mornings, miss it already. Hopefully we will be back one day.

Fantastic!
The Lamarie gite has it all. Modern, spotless clean and exceptionally well appointed. It is exactly as the photos depict. Perhaps even better, if that's possible. If estate agents' rule of measurement were applied (location, location, location) then the gite meets that gold standard. If one wishes peace and quiet, the pastoral farm setting means the most disturbing noise are songbirds singing. For me however, the farm and Colleville-sur-Mere (CsM) was perfectly centered in the heart of the D-day landings on 6 June 1944. Especially the action at Omaha Beach. LITERALLY within 200 meters of the gite , is the entry point to the American Cemetary. Imagine going from a relaxing bucolic setting to the '44 grounds. Of special note also is probably the best war museum in Normandy outside the Caen Memorial and the Airborne Museum at St Mere Eglise. The Overlord Museum is small in comparison but is exceptionally well done -- focused, and with excellent staff. IMO it should not be missed especially since it is also only a stone's throw from the gite. The Lamarie Farm itself is also part of D-day history. Famously, the story about a German sergeant collecting milk each day is true. And, on 6 June his milk round was violently interrupted when the Allied bombardment hit the farm, barely missing the sergeant and David's grandmother (a young girl at the time). A good part of the farm buildings were severely damaged. Sometime after the war the sergeant returned and helped put on a new roof! (Anyone who's seen the film "The Longest Day" remembers the famous milk scene) Drawbacks to all of Colleville are: scarcity of nearby restaurants or a grocery store (Super-U is about 15 minutes drive away). Neither lack is more than a minor irritation. The host family (David, wife Claudine) were perfect in all respects.. The welcoming two chilled bottles of David's homemade cider in the fridge were lip-smacking good. So thank you David AND Claudine for an unforgettable experience.

Beautiful setting and excellent location.
David and Claudine welcomed us to their gite, after coming to find us as we got a little lost. The gite is well equipped, stylishly decorated and comfortable. The location is very quiet and excellent location for some star gazing. You can walk to the Overload Museum and American cemetery. We took a drive to the beach but you could walk if you wanted to. Several other Omaha museums are within a very short drive. We had a welcome bottle of David's home produced cider which was delicious. We were left to enjoy the tranquility of the gite but with knowledge that David or Claudine were close by if we needed anything. Overall a most enjoyable stay in Normandy.

Beautiful setting. Perfect for exploring Normandy.
I'd thoroughly recommend this property for a couple, or small family, who would like to explore Normandy. The D-Day Beaches, wonderful gardens, towns, cities and of course the stunning beaches, are all within easy travelling distance. The gite itself is well equipped and was very clean and tidy when we arrived. The outside space is vast and private, and is a beautiful tranquil place to sit and enjoy. The spiral staircase was an initial concern of ours since the twin bedroom is accessed via it, and it's on a different floor to the double bedroom and rest of the property (all on the ground level). Our 3 &3/4 year old was very careful so everything was ok. The gite is very close to Omaha beach which is a stunning place. The owners were very friendly, responsive and helpful when we needed anything. The icing on the cake was the boulangerie which delivered to the door 6 days a week :-) I would whole heartedly recommend staying here.
