Looking to relax in the Loire Valley

The charming couple who left the 'Old Walnut Mill' last Saturday were well acquainted with France,having had a holiday home in Normandy for 20 years but they were looking for a relaxing stay in another part of the country...and choose Barrou.

We came away for a relaxing week and that is what the 'Old Walnut Mill' gave us. It is extremely spacious and well equipped .Pauline & Jim were the perfect hosts - so  infectiously enthusiastic about the region. We were fortunate to have some glorious weather so enjoyed eating our evening BBQs in the lovely, peaceful courtyard. We had some great days out and planned our days around Jim & Pauline's recommendations and also other guests comments. The chateau at Villandry was spectacular and the gardens were immaculate. Other visits included AmboiseChenonceau, La Roche Posay,Angles-sur-l'Anglin,La Guerche and Le Grand-Pressigny.
We've enjoyed two superb lunches at 'Chez Grand Ma' in Le Grand-Pressigny (€13 pp) the food was freshly prepaired and of excellent quality and the sevice was very attentive. This is indeed a beautiful area of the Loire Valley and well worth exploring some more. If we are around this area again we'd love to catch up with Jim and Pauline to see how all there developments are progressing. Thank you again for the welcome drinks in the fridge - much appreciated. Many thanks for everything to make our stayso enjoyable
