Our 4 star classified Band of Brothers House sleeps 2 - 6 in the village square opposite the world-famous Sainte Marie du Mont church is in the 101st AB Zone.  You are in the heart of American Airborne drop zone as immortalised by The Band of Brothers series, where the Easy Company Boys assembled, where incredible action, fierce battles, feats of bravery and where the liberation of Europe started from. Thousands of troops and vehicles came through here…it’s the only way!

Action and living history is all around us…we are here to help make sense of it all…don't just go to the museums and hope to understand it - let us bring it to life for you. Maybe you have a family member that came through? We’ve helped many veterans and their families retrace their footsteps, we’ve even taken a 15-year-old great-granddaughter to the spot where her great granddad put bullets holes in a wall in Carentan aiming for a sniper.

Surrounded with history with ancient churches, fishing ports to even include the one William the Conqueror set sail from in 1066, the Bayeux Tapestry, traditional bakers and butchers, Cathedrals, beauty spots, 1,000 kilometres of coastline and in the heart of a National Park.

Hidden history for you to uncover, take a Jeep Tour through the hedgerows, see 1st hand the battle of Brecourt Manor, where American exploratory soldiers hid out for a week before 6th June, where the gliders came down, the little church that became a 1st aid post with bloodstains on the pews to this day…see what locals did with the stuff left behind!

We will help make your Normandy experience unforgettable, better and different, we help you plan so you get the most from your time here.

The comfortable and spacious accommodation comprises of 2 super-king double bedrooms, 1 small double (or large single) served by 2 bathrooms:  a family bathroom on the 1st floor and an en-suite in the top bedroom, with naturally a downstairs loo to save running up and downstairs!

Right on the village square bang opposite the world-famous church – you have a shellfish shop right next door, the oysters are farmed by the family who owns and operate the shop which comes straight from Utah Beach - 9€ for a dozen of the freshest oysters ever!  Restaurants, butcher & 2 bakers within yards of the front door! Even a little cafe/bar which has a little museum inside and 2 Militaria shops selling all sorts of memorabilia.

Well behaved dogs are welcome - we don't even charge for fur persons (we have some ourselves at our home a few miles away!) The house is pet-friendly…. a beach less than 2 minutes away, or countryside walks, we can even recommend a vet that speaks perfect English for the passport return journey too. This especially is a perfect destination to get away from Halloween & Bonfire night in the UK if your dog is stressed with fireworks!

Totally renovated in 2014 while retaining the character and history.

Certainly at the heart of the home is the claret red AGA, giving out a gentle warmth and on constant readiness to cook. If you want an Aga cookery lesson that can be arranged.

Downstairs as you enter from the front door we have made a ‘war wall’ displaying our collection to include the photographs of the soldiers passing outside the house. Into an open plan living area, the lounge has a fireplace with a very efficient wood burner, leading into the dining room and into the well-appointed kitchen, an Aga that keeps the house warm all year round, American fridge (ice & filtered water on tap) dishwasher, kettle, toaster and coffee machine, the back door leads out to the very sweet high walled garden with BBQ for outside dining along with a raised patio perfect for a gin & tonic on a summers evening whilst surveying the church tower. Watch out for the swallows - they nest in the old stone outbuilding in the garden…they’ve been known to swoop right down beside you!

There is a utility room with washing machine, tumble drier and a separate loo.

On the 1st floor the most gloriously proportioned master bedroom, decorated in blue toile de Jouy so we refer to this as the blue room. A 2nd small double/ large single along with a large family bathroom room with a substantial shower, double sink unit plus a loo.

The ‘Top room’ the 2nd double bedroom with an ensuite is on the 2nd floor, self-contained with its own staircase & a super kingsize bed.

We’ve tried very hard to beautifully present the house, with restored antique furniture, hand-made curtains, even embroidered towels, along with all the things a traveller will appreciate like top-quality linen on the beds, big fluffy towels, towelling dressing gowns along with hair driers with some puff!

The layout really lends itself to either a couple on their own, 2 couples travelling together or a small family of 5 to 6. We find we usually are accommodating 2 sets of friends or for example, mum, dad with daughter & son in law with perhaps a grandchild, the house has also worked for 4 sisters travelling together and a group of 12 Americans on a Leadership experience - we organise accommodation all around the square, all within walking distance - maximum we can accommodate is 42 this way!

Best of all when you open the front door, one side you have shellfish shop selling oysters and moules direct from Utah Beach, so by just walking the length of the corridor you can return to the dining table with a dozen oysters, people come from all over to buy these specialist oysters! The other side of the front door are 2 restaurants to choose from, across the street a local butcher who cooks on the premises delicious meals which is the French version of a takeaway, 2 bakers in the village, even a hairdresser...

The cupboards in the kitchen are stocked with oils, stock cubes etc. if my chickens are laying, some freshly laid eggs from our little farm.

Free WIFI throughout, washing machine, tumble drier...TV, French & English channels, DVD player.

In the house all linens, the beds are made up for you, water, heating, electricity, paper goods, even down to dishwasher tablets and naturally the end of stay clean. Aga along with a gas hob in the kitchen, microwave, toaster, coffee machine and all appliances you should need

Located right opposite the world-famous Sainte Marie du Mont Church, the view out the bedroom has been described as one of the best in France... you can lie in bed looking at the ornate and unique bell tower, but do not worry the bells stop during the night!
