My wife booked this Hotel for a Birthday treat so I thought I would have a look at the reviews which made me a little worried. We arrived through the little Devon country lanes to find a Beautiful Thatched Country Inn WOW. We arrived early and the helpful receptionist recommended we had a little lunch and a drink in the... more

We were in need of a rest and booked a break at the Masons Arms, Branscombe. Colin and Carol Slaney gave us a very warn welcome when we arrived. We had a super cottage room with stunning pastoral views. The food in the restaurant was consistantly delicious. The sea is only a slow 20 mins stroll by rural footpath and... more

We love the Masons and have stayed many times before, we always have a cottage room as we take our little dog with us. The short walk to the beach is beautiful and the walks along the coastal paths are stunning. There are rooms in the main pub building but the cottages are set in the pub grounds across the... more

This was our 3rd visit, but the first for 3 years. The location is as beautiful and quiet as ever but oh dear! the food has gone down-hill quite a ot since our previous visits. I very much agree with a previous reviewer that The Mason's Arms(under new ownership?) is living on past reputation from whem we first went there... more

Well equipped with flat screen TVs, Gilcrest and Soames minis in the bathroom and a note to say if you require fresh milk for your tea to contact reception (how great). We ate in the bar and had the most enormous fish... more

We came back to the Masons Arms for our 5th visit as we love the location, rooms , walks etc. The simple message this time is 'replace the chef'. For anyone coming here for their first visit, I'm sure that they won't return if they have a meal. The pub is probably living on a lot of return trade, but... more

Just got back from a "get away from it all" 2 night stay. We booked a small room, which was just what we wanted - Clean, tidy and well maintained - We were on the ground floor of an old thatched stone cottage and because of it's elevated position the view from the window was of open countryside - very... more

We have just returned from a two day midweek break with friends at the Mason's Arms in Branscombe. It was excellent. We stayed in a deluxe double room (room 5) with four poster bed and jacuzzi bath. Other deluxe rooms are larger (Room 4 has a claw foot bath) but ours was perfect for our needs. The rooms look as... more
