Parking was great, right next to the hotel, We book a Triple room and this had loads of space. The breakfast was continental, plentiful and all fresh, very happy. We were over to explore the D Day beaches and this hotel was perfectly located for this and especially Gold beach.

Charming little place
Our family of four had a wonderful stay in Arromanches. Best breakfast on our whole tour through Europe. This charming town is probably a 10 minute drive from Bayeux.

Extremely comfortable, great location
Very comfortable, welcoming, pleasant hotel in a great location.
We had a warm, friendly welcome at L’Ideal Mountbatten.
The hotel is small and unassuming but the rooms are lovely and comfortable.
It’s a great base for Arromanches-les-Bains and Normandy in general, including the D-Day beaches.
We would like to have stayed longer - highly recommend. Good value too!
