Thanks CP!

Can't say if its worth it as I don't know your financial situation or frugalness. But if you have an interest in War History in my opinion it is absolutely worth it, if you do a tour.

Day trips would be exhausting, we are talking roughly 6hrs travel roundtrip.

There are guesthouses\bed and breakfasts in Bayeux for 60 euros a night,

All I can say is that you are going to have a great time regardless. But in my modest European travel experience (London, Paris, Edinburgh, Portugal, Rome, Amalfi coast etc) The D-Day beaches were probably Top 3 in trip highlights, maybe the best, hard to say.
