About Sampsons Farm Country Hotel
Sampsons Farm Hotel lies in a sleepy hamlet, only five minutes from the a38 (Cornwall) and a38o (Torquay). Originally a longhouse and set in its own grounds, Sampsons provides a welcome change from the usual anonymous motels. Our thatched farmhouse is older than Shakespeare! Sampsons farm provides the perfect retreat in which to relax and unwind. The house features medieval oak beams and screens (which originally separated the areas for family and cattle), inglenook fireplaces with log fires in the winter, and even a priest's hideaway hole. Set in its own grounds in a sleepy village, Sampsons Farm has been owned and run by the Bell family for two generations. We are well practised in creating the perfect conditions for a restful holiday or business trip. A range of pretty modern en suite rooms is available in our purpose designed barn conversions around the farm courtyard. All rooms have central heating, television, hot drinks facility and some have country views. For a special treat we have a luxurious suite with balconies and sun deck. Our ground floor apartment is perfect for families, groups and guests with dogs - Children are only accepted in the Teigngrace Suite - whilst cosy rooms under the thatch in the farmhouse are also offered. After a good nights sleep, breakfast is taken in the farmhouse dining room. Our happy hens provide the eggs. Cereals, fresh fruit salad, full English cooked breakfast, toast and home made jam should send you off ready for anything, whether business or pleasure. The River Teign, meandering through the meadows, makes a beautiful setting for walks, just down the lane.
