Guest Book: *Enjoyed - location, wildlife, weather, wine and food. Visited St.Savin, Chauvigny, Angles-sur-Anglin, Fontgombault Abbey & Oradour to name but a few. Holiday over too quickly.--- Mr & Mrs Owen Darling *Had a wonderful two weeks at the Mill, wonderful place to unwind and relax with the family. Managed to catch almost twenty fish but the big pike proved too elusive. Eating out we have been spoiled for choice. St.Savin, Le Blanc and Chauvigny all have great restaurants. Some of the highlights for visiting must be Futuroscope, Chauvigny Castle and Abbey, Le Blanc’s market on Saturday and the boat to cruise up and down the river. Thank you for your help and hospitality.---Guy Miller and Family *My wife and I had planned a gastronomic week but we have enjoyed our time around the mill so much that we have eaten in each evening. I am so glad we brought binoculars, otherwise we would not have enjoyed the wild life as much.---David Dunsmuir
