Apartment in Dives-sur-mer

54 Cheshire
Review Submitted: August 19, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This holiday was just what our family needed - a relaxing and peaceful break. The apartment was spotless on arrival and it was spacious and comfortable. Communication with the owners was efficient and professional and they provided lots of information regarding the local surroundings. The apartment is in a great location - overlooking the estuary (we spent most evenings watching the changing tides with a glass of wine) but only a few minutes away from wonderful beaches. Needless to say, most days were spent relaxing on the beach. However, we managed to do a bit of sight seeing - D-Day landing beaches, Bayeux tapestry, Rouen, war museum at Caen and Monet`s garden in Giverny. We were lucky to have glorious weather and our children made good use of the shared pool. This apartment is very good value for money if you are looking for a relaxing break. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Apartment in Dives-sur-mer

MattB-Yorkshire Leeds
Review Submitted: September 1, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
The instructions provided were detailed and the facilities were as described. We would have loved to have had a second key to the apartment; other than that it is highly recommended place to stay! The beach in nearby Cabourg via the footbridge is first class and the street cafes are plentiful in season. Dive-sur-mer and the famous historical connections make it all the more special place to visit. The development of the marina which includes this apartment over the past 20 years has transformed this area into quite a holiday hot spot!! July/August are best months to visit.

OUR STAY AT DIVES SUR MER

Narrow Sydney Australia
Review Submitted: May 13, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Very pleased with the experience. Lovely modern apartment very well equipped with a great outlook over the Dives Estuary. interesting walks are in easy proximity to the apartment. The apartment complex is very secure with excellent parking and the apartment is quite in terms of insulation with very little noise from neighbouring units. It is located close to appealing villages, supermarkets etc for travel by car. The apartment is also handy to regional attractions whether located near the sea or inland. We found the apartment very clean and well maintained. Weather in late April was a bit problematic and not conducive to swimming. Would be completely different in warmer weather. Would recommend the property to a friend.

Happy Holiday in Dive

petes english North Yorkshire
Review Submitted: August 23, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We had a great week this August (2008), the apartment was superb; well equipped, clean and spacious. The view from the apartment was lovely, changing each day with the tides. Apartment is idealy situated for trips to the D Day Beaches and also the lovely towns and beaches of Deauville & Trouville. Fantastic Saturday market in Dives sur Mer, and a great Thursday market in Houlgate, 10 minutes walk away. My children liked the nearby Mini Golf in Cabourg. We had a nice road train ride around Cabourg (at one point some of the local older resident of the town came out and rang a bell whilst waving to the passengers! - we thought it very quaint. We tried all the nearby restaurants and they were all of a very good quality and reasonably priced. We would wholeheartedly recommend this apartment - its of great quality and is in a great location.
