Friendly and interesting hosts. Beautiful and unique cottage in a secluded garden setting. Quiet village with absolutely no traffic or noise and well positioned for a touring holiday. Could not have been made more welcome. We shall definitely make a point of staying there again the next time we tour around France. |

Thanks for everything we have had a fantastic holiday and could not ask for anything more. Fred said that you were always looking for ideas to improve things and if we had any ideas to let him know; Well we are sorry but we are still trying to think of somethingFor others reading this we particularly enjoyed swimming and Kayaking at the lake in Eguzon lovely meal at Hotel du Lac in Crozant picnic at the Sedelle beautiful Walks along the river as well as the many pretty villages in the area.

J Clarke Northamptonshire
Well what can we say to summarise our stay?!! Walnut cottage is the perfect French hide-away it has so much character,warmth and appeal. Set in an idyllic garden with beautiful surroundings, but none of this would be so special if it wasn't for a very lovely couple who opened their home and garden in such a warm and friendly way. Thank you so much for making our stay so full of memories we will treasure them always

We cant thank you enough for making this beautiful cottage available to us and others. We love it here the gardens and the surrounding countryside. I wish we had a place like this back home for a retreat. The hiking was awsome and the touring of the area. We would definatly love to come back some day . Joe and Susan Maine U.S.A.
