We enjoyed our vacation visiting the Normandy area and are so very happy we found the Ivy House website. The Hemingway Cottage was just what we were looking for. A home away from home in which we didn't feel like we were on vacation. There was so much to see within miles of the cozy, quaint, comfortable property. Just minutes... More

Our only regret is that we didn't spend a few more days at Ivy House. We arrived late Saturday night, and were happy to receive a warm welcome from Andy and find the kitchen stocked with bread, granola, milk eggs, pasta & sauce, etc. This food got us through the night and through most of Sunday before we were able...

A comfortable stay in a warm and well equipped cottage that is in excellent location to explore Utah Beach and the Normandy countryside. Chose to hire bikes at Ivy House and what a splendid day it was. Andy provided a varied route that never became uncomfortable on bikes that were very well maintained. Keep it up! More

We stayed for 2 nights at the beginning of May in the Hemingway Cottage. The cottage was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. The cottage was cosy- with a bedroom and bathroom upstairs and a living room and well equipped kitchen downstairs.Andy welcomed us and showed us how everything worked. The welcome basket was useful as it... More

A very friendly welcome from fantastic host Andy with beer and wine waiting in our apartment Roosevelt upon our arrival and a lift given to a nearby town for dinner for 5 weary cyclists. A massive thank you to host Andy who also rescued one of our party with a blown out tyre and ensured a bike repair shop was... More

Dear Melissa What a fantastic time we all had whilst you and your cycling group were here. Despite being here for only one night, I have some wonderful memories from your visit. It was not a big deal for me to go and rescue one of your group due to the problem he had with his tyre. It is not... More

Great place. Simple yet charming accommodations. Amazing location, right near Utah beach. Close proximity to all of the Normandy attractions. Near restaurants and a mid-size city in Saint-Lo. Best of all, the host Andy is amazing. He will give you your space if so desired unlike some bed and breakfasts....but is also very welcoming and informative. They also supply the... More

The place was very clean and comfortable. My husband, daughter and I stayed only 1 night, but they made you feel more like family then guests. There was free parking and it is very close to the D-Day beach. The only thing I would suggest is a bigger sign on the road to make it easier to find. More

I cannot recommend Ivy House highly enough. We had a fantastic time and the service was excellent. We used the Ivy House as a base for a cycling trip – the house was lovely, very welcoming people and the scenery beautiful. Would thoroughly recommend it and will certainly be returning in the future ! Justin Chambers More
