Best Western La Mare Ô Poissons 3*

This super hotel is set back from the road just a short drive from the terminal as you head out of Ouistreham towards Caen. The stylish accommodation is sound-proofed and attractive bedrooms all have a shower as opposed to a bath, plus there is the added bonus of an outdoor heated pool which can be covered in cooler weather. Pets not accepted.

For foot passengers the hotel is about a 15 minute walk or there is a bus that runs 300m from the terminal. Alternatively taxis are available.

Ouistreham is convenient for an overnight stop either on arrival or before leaving France by ferry but there is so much more to this charming resort than just the port. At its heart is a small pedestrian centre lined with shops, bars and restaurants and, at the Thalazur hotel on the seafront, there is a fabulous thalassotherapy centre. The lovely 3km beach with its dunes, pretty rows of beach huts and huge expanse of sand that gently shelves into the sea also makes this a perfect place for a variety of watersports, horse or pony riding. The nautical centre near the hotel welcomes beginners or the more experienced and you can try your hand at sand yachting, paddle boarding, kite surfing or catamaran.

Liberated by British troops during the Battle of Normandy Ouistreham is also a great place to stay for visiting the Landing Beaches and numerous D-Day memorials. Or, for a change of scenery, the city of Caen is an easy drive or bus ride and has a wealth of history to discover with its castle, 2 abbeys and the Memorial museum - if you present your Brittany Ferries 澳洲幸运10十168体彩开奖网 ticket on arrival at the museum you can benefit from a reduced entrance price. You can also pay less at the Cinéma Circulaire 360 in Arromanches.
