Ivy House near the village of Sainte Marie Du Mont, offers self catering and B&B beach vacation rentals; perfect for a Normandy D-day beach holiday. Our home was once occupied by German soldiers manning the bunkers of the Atlantic Wall coastal defenses but now nestles peacefully in beautiful Normandy countryside. We are located directly behind the D-day Utah Beach; one of the five beaches used by the allies in World War 2. The four other D-day beaches are all under 1 hour from our location.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Superbly located at walking distance from Utah Beach and close to many DDay locations, this house has all the comfort needed for a perfect stay in Normandy. The hosts offer a warm welcome, very friendly and helpful! We will definitely repeat!

We have stayed at Ivy House twice and had a wonderful stay both times. The apartments are clean and comfortable Easy access to Utah beach and many historical sites are close.The best thing about Ivy House is the hostess and host, Maria and Michael. They knew our most recent trip was celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary, when we arrived there was champagne to welcome us. When we return we will stay here again, it is our favorite place. Thank you Maria and Michael for helping make our trip so special.

I wrote in my last review of IvyHouse, what an Idyllic place this is to spend some time and if you have an interest in WWW 2 history, there's quite a bit of it within shirt walking distance not to mention driving. After the visit last year with my family, a friend and I stayed for a week recently to use the cottage for a base to see as much of the history of D Day as we could, Ivy house is excellent for this is, you don't want for anything, supermarkets and restaurants are a short walk or drive away. We stayed in Roosevelt this tine, more than enough room for a family of 4, though just the two of us stayed this time. the cottage was comfortable and had everything that we needed. We will be back again.....

Nice appartement everything we needed for 2 people. Warm welcome from the owner. Also our dog was welcome. Beautiful Place near the Norman coasters and the history of D-day. The museums with dogs are not really recommanded because they are not welcome anywhere but for the beautiful walk along the coast perfect We had a nice stay!

Very lovely stone cottage with easy access to all DDay sites and Mont St Michele, the village has a great patisserie and boulanger shop. Close to St Mere Eglise and easy drive to Mont St Michele. About 40 minute drive to Bayeux to see the tapestry.

Very, Very good location if you have a vehicle. Just a short walk to the Utah Beach museum. Owner was very friendly and supplied much information and brochures for our stay. Her engliish matched our french so we made do with elementry spanish as best we could. We got a lot of value for the very reasonable price. Cottage was adequate for two couples with a bedroom downstares and upstairs. The bathroom is upstairs though and the stairs are narrow making it a little difficult to get to in the middle of the night but we make do.

I often find writing reviews for places I like difficult, its selfish of me but I want them to be available when I want to go and stay.... thats the case with Ivy House, its an idyllic, lovely setting, clean well set out, decorated tastefully. it makes the stay so perfect. We stayed in Barton, which is well apportioned for 6 people (2 sets of singles and a double) my two sons had soon settled in as had my wife and I. Maria the owner provided us with lots of leaflets and information about the area, where to eat, shop and relax. we wanted for nothing. Try the eggs from Marias little shop.... It was a real and great pleasure to spend time there, whether it was sitting in the house, on the decking outside or in the massive garden (my son turned this into his playground) all was good. My family came away relaxed and recharged. Its a 10 minute walk to historic Utah and many other WW2 sites are within 20 to 30 minutes drive. We will be back.... hopefully if its not fully booked.

Bucket list trip to Normandy. 500 yrds off UTAH Beach. Historic & cozy farm house. Occupied by German troops during D Day. We stayed in the ROOSEVELT COTTAGE. Great, tidy & clean. Comfy beds. Shower is a little small, but space is at a premium. Sleeps 4. Maria & Michele are great hosts! She's Portuguese. When you arrive you'll find a little " starter kit " in the fridge. Enjoy the fire pit out back while resting from the days sight seeing. Good wifi for those that need it

I was spending a week on my motorcycle following the exploits of the 101st Airborne on D-Day. I stayed in the middle cottage of the 3 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Michel and Maria made me very welcome. I had everything I needed for a great stay. Great location and only a short walk to Utah Beach too. Brilliant, clean, warm and very cozy. Loved it
