to get started.

Lovely large room, excellent food. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice for all tastes.

Tracey, United Kingdom

The property is very quaint and there is a lot of beauty in the area.

Jodi, United Kingdom

Quintessentially ye olde worlde English Inn set within the most idyllic countryside, the Inn dates back to the 14th century and the main bar and restaurant areas really make you feel like you've stepped back in time! It's a busy quirky little place, the staff were v.friendly and accommodating. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food was pretty good, t'was fish heaven for my husband!! The cooked breakfast was ok and there's more than enough to eat and lots of options to choose from. It appears to be a very tightly run ship with lots of young staff milling around.

Lucy, United Kingdom

The accommodation was excellent, the staff were so helpful and friendly, the food was so good and the setting was outstanding especially the walk by the stream to the beautiful beach.

Sheila, United Kingdom

Our room was perfect for people with disabilities like us, with bathroom that had plenty of handrails and a wet room. The room was also very private and large, with super TV and plenty of storage.

Joy, United Kingdom

Thought the restaurant was great! The fish was so fresh, and the service was truly great too.

Gloria, USA

Beautifully clean and large room. Breakfast was great and evening meal had a wide choice of fish specialities. Staff in the restaurant were friendly and efficient. The Mason's Arms is 10 minute walk to the lovely beach at Branscombe.

Philip, United Kingdom

Large comfortable bed, large room and bathroom. All rooms extremely close to the pub's main building, and only 1/2 mile from the beach. Extremely quiet, ideal if you want total relaxation except if you're upset by barking dogs in the bar!

Mark, United Kingdom

Fabulously comfortable bed. Lovely room and great food

Jasmine, United Kingdom

Location, room, breakfast, evening meal, comfortable bed.....everything Perfect!

What travellers love about this location

“Our room was lovely. The staff were very friendly and the location was great. The food was wonderful.”

Nina

United Kingdom

“Although our room in the original part of the hotel was quite small and the carpet a little forlorn (there are larger rooms available at a greater cost in the new part) it had charm. We liked the windows on two sides of the room (though not when the smoke from the fires/cooking blew in). It overlooked the carpark and we thought it would be noisy with the windows open, but it was completely quiet once the pub closed for the day. Whatever the room lacked in space was made up for by the wonderful people who worked there. The incredibly friendly Justine and Jerry (who have since gone on to manage their own pub - and all the best to them) were born to run a pub! Just delightful. The food, both at dinner and the sumptuous breakfasts was terrific and the ambience in the pub was great. Always really full - deservedly so. Branscombe is a gorgeous village in a beautiful part of Devon. Despite the wet weather when we were there we loved every minute of our time in this area. And we'd stay at the Masons Arms again without question. Our cousins from Somerset even met us for dinner there one night. (Delicious biscuits on the tea tray too).”

눉The size of the room was a lot smaller than expected. The bath was too small to actually sit in properly. There was only a trickle of water coming from the basin tap. There were loud noises coming from the "keg storage"room that lasted until 10:30 at night
눇The pleasant nature of the staff

“Quaint but remote.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Superior Double Room
- • Stayed 7 nights
- • Submitted via mobile
눉We were not able to get a WiFi signal and could not pick up a mobile network. Also, the roads in the area are very narrow, very twisting, and very steep. We had to do a great deal of driving to get to some of the sights as the property is so remote. We didn't like driving the roads back to the property in the dark and found we were quite bored in the evenings with no network or internet. The full breakfast was quite meager as was the continental buffet. We were reluctant to leave, however, as the room was non-refundable.
눇The property is very quaint and there is a lot of beauty in the area.

“For a peace & quiet go for a cottage room!!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Our room in the main Inn was ok, it was well presented and had everything you needed, the bathroom had seen better days, the bath had a cracked side panel and the grouting could have done with some attention. However my main disappointment was the noise! Unfortunately I didn't realise the room I'd booked in the Inn was going to be noisy ......and sadly a tad smelly! We'd had a long drive and wanted an early night but sadly our room sat directly over the kitchen so with all the banging around it was too noisy to sleep. When I called the reception at 10pm we were informed that the rooms located in the Inn (approx 6) priced at around £100 a night are either over the bar or the kitchen area. When I asked to move they said we could, however promised by 10.30pm it would be quiet, we decided to stayed put and it was quiet for the rest of the evening. I was a little disappointed this wasn't made clearer when booking as I'm a light sleeper I'd definitely have booked one of the cottages instead which are separate to the main Inn. Overall I think the Inn rooms are a tad over priced, knowing that there is a noise issue in these rooms it would only seem fair to offer these rooms at some kind of reduced rate.
눇Quintessentially ye olde worlde English Inn set within the most idyllic countryside, the Inn dates back to the 14th century and the main bar and restaurant areas really make you feel like you've stepped back in time! It's a busy quirky little place, the staff were v.friendly and accommodating. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food was pretty good, t'was fish heaven for my husband!!
