very nice stay and extremely good service at the reception

Loved this place, it had everything we needed and couldn't have been more convenient. It was perfect for our stay and the reception staff (English speaking) were really welcoming and helpful. We loved that we could pre-order fresh baguettes, croissants & pain au chocolat for breakfast, and they'll recommend & book restaurants for you.

Facilities... The kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, cutlery & tableware, and all the accessories & cooking utensils you might need. There's a large fridge with a freezer (I accidently left a picnic freeze pack inside ours... you're welcome!), a microwave with a de-frost programme, a cooker (but not an oven), and a dishwasher. There was a welcome pack with things like washing up liquid & pads. Tip: you might want to bring coffee filter papers for the percolator - I think size 4-6 cups. There is a kettle and a toaster. The only other thing I can remember bringing and being useful was vacuum tops & pump for wine bottles. In our apartment there was a bathroom and a shower room. There are plenty of towels, etc, though if you are keen on your own giant fluffy towel I'd suggest you bring it. There are heated towel rails by the way. Bed linen is all provided. There's basic soap and body wash/shampoo. There are plenty of electrical sockets so you don't have to fight with others to charge your phone. And the whole apartment was spotlessly clean and tidy when we arrived... maybe not so much when we left!

We were there for a week and out all day, every day touring the region, so we never got to test the heated, year-round, indoor swimming pool, and we didn't have kids with us so I can't vouch for the play areas. Nor did we need to use the washing room facilities.

Overall we were really impressed with Residence Le Chant des Oiseaux. We'd definitely stay again. And the location (Courseulles) is ideally located in the centre of the Calvados coastline for exploring D-Day Normandy. 5-stars, and if you check my record, you'll see I hardly ever award 5-stars!

Did not give us the room we ordered, gave us way smaller room and not with balcony. When we contacted them about this they did not listen and said that we ordered wrong ( we did not. )
So we got a very bad room instead of what we had payed for. The receptionist did not wanna listen at all.

The room we arrived to stank like fish. The bed didn’t have bedding on it or anything. And the pool closes very early.

Would not recommend

Good quality for the price. Only downside was that the room was a bit dirty and the WiFi was slow.

Amazing to stay there! You could easily walk to the beach in a couple of minutes. Good service and a clean house. Would recommend!
