A Loire Valley Experience
at the 'Old Walnut Mill'
Regretfully we have decided to sell the cottage and the new owner will not be offering it for rent...thank you for your interest. We do have friends who are setting up a new apartment rental in nearby Le Grand-Pressigny. Although this is a new venture for them they have many years of experience in the holiday rental market and we would highly recommend them as hosts. We are happy to pass on enquiries to them.

Your Loire Valley vacation rental/holiday cottage
The Old Walnut Mill' is a substantial 2 bedroom
Loire Valley house over two floors with a delightful enclosed
courtyard. The house is located in the charming
village of Barrou
in Southern Touraine within the Centre -
Val de Loire region in France.
From your Loire Valley house it is only a few minutes walk to the village centre with its restaurant, bar and shops. The village’s location halfway between the cities of Tours and Poitiers makes it an ideal base to explore the Loire Valley, its many chateaux and pretty villages, as well as the department of Vienne, where you can visit the theme park of
Futuroscope.
The nearest chateaux at La Guerche and
Le Grand Pressigny,are only minutes away.
You can have a true French experience as it is relatively 'tourist free' but still take advantage of all this beautiful area has to offer, everything from picturesque villages, citadel towns (many with their own chateau), sandy beaches by beautiful lakes, safari parks and troglodytes.
There are many self-catering properties to rent for your
holiday in France, but this village house in the Loire
Valley, all you see, is a complete family home, giving you
spacious accommodation and with its history, originally it
was a mill for producing walnut oil, has beamed ceilings and
tiled floors which help it to retain its French charm. It is
private and self-contained in its own courtyard.
Accommodation consists of a large lounge and kitchen/diner
downstairs and two double bedrooms and large shower-room
upstairs. There is a second toilet and shower-room
downstairs.
You have free
WIFI access and international landline telephone calls during your stay.
Your Loire Valley holiday cottage accommodation:
Your Loire Valley accommodation has a large comfortable
lounge with beamed ceiling and tiled floor. There is a wood-burner for the cooler months plus
electric heating for the winter months.
Your holiday home kitchen has gas hob, electric oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, coffee percolator, toaster, plus all you need in a 'home from home'. The comfortable dining area is ideal for when you are not dining alfresco.
You will find fresh milk, tea, coffee, bottled
water and a bottle of wine on your arrival.
 
 
The house has two very good
sized bedrooms with their original tiled floors and beamed ceilings, The
main bedroom has a king-sized bed plus plenty of drawer and hanging
space. The second double bedroom is also well proportioned with plenty
of drawer and hanging space.
There is a
modern, well proportioned shower room off a central hall on the first
floor...
...plus a second toilet/shower room on
the ground floor.
There is also a small laundry room with washing machine
for your use.
Your courtyard at the house can
be a magical place...day or night for BBQ and
aperos.
Previous guest: "A
super cottage & fantastic courtyard (lots of
meals outside)."
 
We have also recently completed a shaded courtyard to the rear of the barn which also offers access to the garden at the rear of the property.
Where we can't offer you the isolation and
tranquillity of a house on its own in the countryside the trade-off with this delightful village house is that all the amenities you need are within walking distance of the house.
As you can see from the old postcard above our street has not changed much over the years so you will be able to get a feel for true French country living.
The department of Indre-et-Loire is what was formerly
the Touraine Region within the Loire Valley, France.
