The property has been splendidly refurbished with exceptional attention to detail offering modern and generously proportioned family accommodation yet retaining much of its original character and charm. Whilst Ty Samson is ideal as a family holiday home or a permanent residence the property has operated very successfully as a luxury holiday let for the past few years.
