End of a chapter.

Our first post here is timely as we are soon to receive our final guests at 'The Old Walnut Mill' before we start to renovate our barn at the property. We have decided that the 'Old Walnut Mill' should be our 'summer' home going forward with a gite attached (the existing barn). This will mean an end to our nomadic existence ( see 'About us' ) we have, for the last two years been living in the one house of the three we offer for rent, that is not booked - this has meant living out of suitcases and the back of the car - not the most ideal way to live. The experience has taught us the value of 'roots' and of friendships - we have had many offers of accommodation and assistance when our planning was not up to scratch and they were/are appreciated - you know who you are! So next year we are taking the gamble of loosing the income from 'The Old Walnut Mill' and hope the other two have a good occupancy rate. We will of course be offering the same level of customer service and care.

Pauline and I would like to thank all our guests over the years at the Old Walnut Mill,who have come from far and wide, for choosing us for their Loire Valley Experience and for all the great memories you have given us - we hope you have your own.
