‘D Day Aviators’ has two very clean buildings in Arromanches and we enjoyed a really clean, comfortable room and powerful shower in the original and smaller house which is literally a stone’s throw from the beach where the remnants of the Mulberry harbour are visible.
This house, like the one two minutes away where you will be served an elegant breakfast, is packed with masses of aeronautical D Day memorabilia, and the host, who is clearly a genuine enthusiast, will ensure you are given a comprehensive tour of the collections.
Location wise the ‘D-Day hotels’ are perfect for exploring Arromanches on foot and whilst town centre parking is available at a price (charges 9.00 ‘till 18.00), there is a free car park less than 5 minutes walk away. Electric vehicle drivers may wish to ensure they arrive with a good charge as the only charger we could locate in the town was not working when we visited at end June ’23.
