Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Formigny La Bataille

There is one *major* problem that you will see the moment you enter the property: you will **never** (ever) want to leave. You may even start thinking through how you can leave your day job and move to Port-en-Bessin. The home itself is amazing. The top of our list after over a dozen Airbnbs in the last few years. It's everything they show online... and SO MUCH MORE! It's like living in a Normandy postcard. The house itself is awesome. Amazing. Spotless. Beautifully decorated and appointed. SUPER well equipped. The town is also amazing. It's the perfect home base for exploring the D-Day beaches/sites. Look... you'd be CRAZY not to book this property. So... what are you waiting for? Book now before you miss out. [Franck-Etienne: merci beaucoup for making our trip to Normandy so perfect . Your are really special folk - with the perfect home - and we can't wait to return!]

A brilliant base for our trip to the Normandy Beachhead over the D-Day celebrations. Jean-Marie was incredibly friendly and the pictures on the advert don’t do the place justice. It’s excellent, a great blend of modern and traditional. Bathroom very good, beds very comfortable, kitchen great. Overall brilliant and best of all Jean Marie checked in with us on our last evening to wish us safe journey home and is always nice knowing that he was just next door in the adjacent property if anything went wrong. Beautiful house, good parking. 10/10 would love to visit again in future. Thank you!

Beautiful cottage in a very quiet environment. The accommodation was perfectly clean, very well equipped, spacious. The private garden is very nice. The village is within 10 minutes' walking distance with a bakery, etc. Very fluid and precise communication. Everything was perfect!

What a fantastic visit to Normandy in Mehdi's cute and cozy cottage. We'd love to know the history of the cottage, but we'll wait to find that out at a future visit. Mehdi was super responsive and available if needed. Thank you for your kindness!

Amazing place to stay, lovely owner and beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Relatively close to a lot of touristic sites if you are by car. Would love to stay another time, we enjoyed our time here so much!

This place is so charming! And Laurence was a kind, gracious and responsive host. This is a quiet area, especially before the tourist season starts. It was a great place to enjoy the history and beauty of the area. Was glad I chose it.

Spacious, comfortable cottage. Ideally located by car to explore the area, with all the main attractions within an hour. A car is essential for getting around, but it's a great base for visiting the surrounding area. The hosts are warm and welcoming.

Our group of 7 50 something men really enjoyed our 5 day stay in Normandy. Charlotte met us on arrival and showed us around the extensive house and facilities. The house was great with a well equipped kitchen, great covered and heated pool, tennis court and more. We didn't manage to make use of the bikes or canoes that were also at our disposal. Bedrooms were clean with good beds. My only criticisms would be that there was only seating for 5 in the living room, toilets did not have basins, and the directions were not great - a what.3.words location would have been really helpful. Overall, it was a great place to stay and one of our group plans to return with their family later in the year.

The place was great and Thierry was extremely responsive. We had asked him for a small favour since we wanted to leave our bags somewhere safe and Thierry wholeheartedly let us check in early.

Romain Et Céline's AirBnb was a lovely little retreat in Caen. You can reach it from the train station with a 30 minute walk or you can take the tram which gets you there in about 10-15 minutes. The location is in the center of the city. It is a five minute walk to several restaurants for dinner and you are never further than 20-25 minutes walk from most of the popular tourist sites. The listing itself had all the promised amenities. There was not much sound at night so we all slept well. Three of us comfortably used the space. The internet was also able to handle all of us using it at the same time. The shower also had good water pressure and hot water. The check-in instructions were easy to follow and the check-out instructions were quite reasonable. Romain messaged to ask how our stay was going was quick to respond whenever I had questions. I had a wonderful time and would be happy to rent this AirBnb again.

It's a delightful little paradise! The apartment is snug and cozy, the garden beautiful and peaceful. I had a lot of fun during the short (or sometimes longer) chats with Guy. It's clear that he is passionate about the region and has a lot to tell about it. I had a little less contact with Jocelyn, but she is very friendly as well. To be honest, I felt a bit like staying at my grandparents, which was a nice feeling. The location is perfect. A lovely hiking trail passes right in front of the door. All the 'big sights' of Normandy are in reach within a day-trip. All in all I enjoyed my time there a lot and I definitely hope to come back another time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! I would recommend staying here to anyone. Nicholas was very responsive and accommodating. After 10 days traveling in Europe as a family, it was so nice to have some space to spread out in rather than staying another night in a hotel. There was a washing machine which we took advantage of to have some clean clothes to get us through the rest of the trip. The AirBnb is in a great location! Walkable to the Bayeux Tapestry, Bayeux Cathedral and lots of great restaurants and cafes.

Cozy unique apartment with beautiful view to an old church. It is also in a beautiful shopping street with pubs and restaurants. The aparment itself has everything you need, and you get alot of value for your money. The owner answers quick and with clear instructions. Would definitely stay here again!

They don't lie about the beauty of this apartment, we had an amazing stay! The view of the castle is awesome and you are right in the city centre. The apartment is spacious, clean and cozy. You are provided with some great tips about what you can do during your stay, both within the city and Normandy. They provide you with everything you need for an amazing stay in Caen, we highly recommend this place!

Light, bright open flat with fully stocked kitchen, large dining table and comfy sofa living room. Bedrooms were large (we had the single studio next door - separate key required) as well. Instructions were clear, housekeeper was prompt in responding to check in time and inquiries. It is on the 3rd floor above ground level so be prepared for lots of steps (the last flight is quite narrow) Location right next to grand hotel with beach entrance across the street and walkable to all the restaurants and shops. Great stay!

Great place to stay. Very good location, very walkable with lots of restaurants and things to do right around the corner. The apartment was very nice and VERY high value. Well worth the low price we paid. Marie was an excellent host, very accommodating and friendly. I would stay here again if I came through the area!

Spacious group accommodation, Very responsive and accommodating in terms of arrival and departure. With excellent bedroom and bathroom Small downside on the kitchen which would need to be updated.

It's not easy to find a place to stay for a family or friends get together. Everything is there here. Number of bedrooms and beds, recreational equipment for children and adults, dishes, seats, all in number for a large group. It's clean. My garden is nice, like the house. Thanks again for this weekend!

We were 4 small families (8 adults and 5 kids) staying and we were very comfortable in Adelaide's place. Very spacious and the kids had loads of space for running and playing. The drive to the nearest beach took us around 30 mins. The swimming pool was amazing during the day and the hot tub perfect during the night. I would totally recommend this place.

Awesome house! It fits the description perfectly. We had a lovely time in the house. Aurelie was very responsive and available. I would this property .

Very high-quality accommodation, which matches the descriptions, allowing you to have a great stay. The beds are very comfortable, the hot tub is very large and the kitchen is very functional. 2 km from the beaches and huts of Gouville, no complaints

The cottage was everything advertised and more. Beds were very comfortable; literature was provided for local attractions, groceries restaurants; emergency contacts, etc. Loved the horses on their breeding farm, and the serene rural setting - just the perfect distance from everything we came to see. Our gracious host, Venessa, was bilingual and spoke English, which made communicating with her much easier. The kitchen as well as the entire cottage was beautifully furnished with everything we needed. She had even provided games, and other children items -which we didn’t need - but we appreciated seeing the details given to the needs of visiting families. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to enjoy the pool or hot tub, but would have enjoyed spending time at both amenities, given more time for our trip. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone desiring to travel to the Normandy area of France.

Simply perfect. Small house steps from the beach, quiet... We will come back without hesitation.

We spent Christmas and New Year at Marianne's place for 6 (+toddler and dog)! It is a beautiful,cozy and modern house with sea views! Each couple has their own area incl. Bathroom. The fully fenced garden was great for our dog and the fireplace brought the right mood! The beach is within walking distance! By car, you can quickly get to shopping and get to all the typical sights of Normandy relatively quickly We would definitely come back!
