Our stay at 'The Old Walnut Mill' has been very enjoyable. The
weather has been a bit damp and dreary but did not stop
us visiting the surrounding sites, Tours, Amboise,
Chenonceau, Azay le Rideau etc. We also spent a day
around Barrou looking round the local chateau (La Guerch).
We ended the visit with lunch at the 'Cafe de la Poste'
-- 4 courses + wine- 11 euros--what a bargain!

For me, Emlyn, the trip to the Loire Valley was very special
,almost exactly 50 years after I had first planned to
visit on a school trip from England. Obviously to travel
widely and see the towns and chateaux etc is very time
consuming but what we did see was memorable. We hope the
next guests enjoy their visit as much as we did.

The Old Walnut Mill is quite the house, large, spacious
and comfortable. As others have observed this house has
the feeling of a genuine home-not just another rental
unit. We appreciate all the thoughtful touches.... that
made it really feel like home. Memorable! 'Vive le petit
chateau' in Grande Rue!

"We've come a long way from the west coast of Canada to visit the Loire Valley
and sample it's secrets- every step of the journey has been worth it. It's been
a whirlwind of touring, an overload to all our senses, but this beautiful little
"pièd à terre" has helped to keep us sane, with feet still on the ground for the
most part. The Old Walnut Mill will always be a tremendously fond memory.
Jim and Pauline, we appreciate how much of yourselves you've put into this place
and how much effort you've expended making it the ideal jumping off spot for the
Loire's garden of delights. You are the perfect ghost-hosts.
It has been a delightful week and it has been so nice to be in a home
environment rather than a hotel! What it does do is now the temptation to maybe,
just maybe, someday, do something like this on our own! Thanks again and may
your future with the Old Walnut Mill be full of success." BC, Canada
