D-Day 75, Middle-aged men on tour.
Four guys staying for D-Day 75 Commemerations.
Ideal house as had four separate bedrooms, one double with e/s shower, two single/twins with jack-and-jill shower room, and a further double room. There was also a family bathroom and two separate toilets (i.e. not in the bath/shower rooms). It was very clean and tidy when we arrived (and when we left!)
Kitchen well equipped with plenty of pans, crockery, cutlery etc but few large (beer!) glasses, although we did find four picnic ones that did the job.
There's an oven, microwave, decent size fridge/freezer and two coffee machines (one pod, one filter).
The dining table will seat 10, and the sofas 3 each (4 if they are petite).
Location wise, its about 40 mins from Cherbourg, 30 from St Mere Eglise or Valognes, and about 90 mins from Caen.
St Vaast itself is a lovely little fishing 'port' with loads of restaurants and tourist shops. There is a Carrefour and a Netto just round the corner from the cottage, and a petrol station.
We found a nice little restaurant (L'Intemporel) in Montebourg (10k away - ish) where we ate for three of our five nights (very nice burgers, and an extensive ice cream menu. Also, it sold beer).
Overall, a lovely base for our extended weekend and would gladly stay there again.
