What is the minimum length of stay?

  1. Short stay rental:  some of our cottages can be rented in short stay in advance from 2 nights (and more, from 3 to 7 for bank holidays, school vacations, ...). At the last minute we can offer our other lodgings usually rented by the week. This is specified in the description of each gîte. We do not offer a single night stay.
  2. Weekly rental: All our cottages can be rented by the week until the fortnight.  Some are also exclusively dedicated to weekly rentals (7 nights minimum), with a specific day of rotation for each. In summer or on certain dates, the fortnight may have priority. This is specified in the description of each gîte.

Are animals accepted?

NO. For everyone's comfort and although we adore cute doggies and cats, we cannot accept them in our cottages.

Smoking ?

NO. For the comfort of all, all our cottages are non-smoking. Some have an outdoor terrace or courtyard where you can smoke.

Your suitcase and your good mood ;-)

NO because each of our cottages has a well-equipped kitchen with all maenities : a Nespresso machine + filter coffee maker + kettle + tea set (teapot and / or tea ball).

In the village (by feet), you can buy fresh bread and croissants at the bakery and all products at convenience stores and delicatessens. The Café du Port offers breakfast options and we can recommend nice places by the sea or in the countryside for brunch on Sundays.

Is parking free and public?

YES. Our lodgings are located in the heart of the village or on the quay facing the sea. All the parking lots are public, free all year round in the immediate vicinity of our lodgings. Everything is very easily accessible on foot.

Rental of bikes in the village?

YES.It is recommended to contact the service provider in advance on Port-en-Bessin. Also providers on Bayeux. We will provide you with contact details upon request after booking.

YES, free of charge subject to request and confirmation when booking: baby cot (without sheets) up to 2/3 years with end of travel mattress and high chair. (NB: La Cabane des Pêcheurs is not accessible for children and babies, and therefore does not offer a baby kit)

YES. Port-en-Bessin is a small fishing port which lives all year round. Every day you will find all shops, supermarkets, grocery storefine, bakery, fish market in direct sale and fishmonger in the morning from Tuesday to Sunday, the weekly market on Sunday morning.

Can we rent several gîtes simultaneously to accommodate a group or several families?

NO. Our largest house can accommodate up to 4 people, not more.  Even if you are divided into several lodgings for sleeping, you will certainly want to share moments together around the dining table or the living room. Equipment, dishes, furniture will not allow this. We count on our guests to respect the maximum capacity provided for each accomodation and not to move dishes and furniture from one accomodation to another. In the village and surroundings, you will find lodgings designed to accommodate up to 15 people.


but YES if ... you want everyone to keep their independence and plan to take your meals outside. For example, 2 couples may wish to each rent an apartment at La Maison Matelot and have lunch / dinner at the restaurant.

Restaurants to recommend?


YES. Depending on your wishes, we will share our favorite addresses on your arrival or before your stay: restaurants, brasseries, oyster shack, beach bar, brunch, coffee shop and tea rooms ...

Can one of your lodgings accommodate people with reduced mobility?

NO sorry, because all are located in old fishermen's houses with internal and sometimes external staircases. In the old port district, the alleys are sloping with narrow sidewalks and paved pavement.
However at La Maison Matelot the apartment on the Ground Floor "Le Matelot à carreaux" may be suitable for those who want accommodation without stairs if only  they can climb a step (access to the house) and use the antique bathtub (quite high, with handle)

Check-in time?
