Ivy House is superbly located to Utah Beach and the drop zones for the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions on D-Day. Andy is very happy to pass on his detailed knowledge of the Normandy invasion and it's individual stories that took place close by. The cottages are charming and well equipped. Andy and Emma went out of their way to...

Kind regards,

Ivy house is a really nice place to stop. Located just behind the dunes of Utah Beach, the area is very peaceful and typical. The cottages are clean, comfortable and arranged to make you feel at home. Special thanks to the owners Andy and Emma who are the nicest hosts : called the day before during the "empty" pre-christmas week...

Dear Sir
I should be thanking you for staying with us! People who read your review will not know half of what happened whilst you where here. My wife and I both love classical music and the fact that your son came into our house and gave us an impromptu evening of classical music on our piano is something we...

We arrived in Normandy and had issues with transport. We ended up travelling by train and Andy was their to meet us. It took 2 trips to get our family (4 boys and 2 Adults) to Ivy House and we were given an impromptu tour of the area on the way. Andy and Emma made us feel so welcome and...

Dear Stephen
It was an absolute pleasure to have you and your lovely family stay with us. Thank you for taking time to submit this wonderful review. It amazes me how people still think about us even months after their visit to Ivy House. We have a lot of reviews that seem to surface many months after; that always makes...

Ivey House not only met, but exceeded our expectations. Not only were the acommodations and location wonderful, but the owners made it feel like home. We felt like a part of their family and they shared their vast knowledge of the area and history with us. An added bonus was the collection of WWII DVDs that we were able to...

Andy and Emma and their boys are wonderful, gracious hosts. The cottages are superb and I highly recommend anyone travelling to Normany to stay at Ivy House. We arrived late at night and Andy and Emma were down the road at a friends house, but once the babysitter called, they came right home and welcomed us and even brought us...

Dear Tina
We had a great time whilst you, your family and friends stayed with us at Ivy House. I guess it is unusual for the owners to write such things; after all, it is the guest that is on holiday! We don't see it like that as we love to learn more about where our guests come from and...

We loved our 2 weeks at Ivy House (Roosevelt Cottage). It was a great location to explore the D D Landings (for my husband) and close to the beach (to please the children). We also managed numerous trips to Bayeux (only 40 mins drive on an excellent road). The property contained all the essential items and Emma very kindly supplied...

We stayed in ‘Hemingway’, a self-catering French cottage in a group of three at Ivy House. It was within easy driving distance of many of the D-Day sites, Le Mont St Michel and Bayeux and an easy walk to Utah Beach where there is an excellent museum. The cottage was clean and provided a lot of food basics which meant...

Ivy House was the best place we stayed in during our five week journey through Europe. We came becuse of a relative who landed on D Day (one of the few Australians to do so). Andy and Emma have created an authentic atmosphere that honours the memory of that historic event. However it is also a perfect place for those...
