“Good & Getting Better”
+This was our 4th visit to the Masons Arms at Branscombe and it has always lived up to our expectations. Last week was no exception. From the cheery reception of Imogen through to the very comfortable bedroom, the fabulous food , the best pint of Proper Job , the varied selection of wine by the glass and the great welcome to Lola, our loveable Bernese, the experience was one we can’t wait to repeat.

“2nd stay at Masons Arms”
+This was our second stay at the pub. First time round we had a ‘Snug Room’ which was exactly that - compact but comfy. Only downside was it was right above the kitchen and so was a bit noisy. Second stay we had the opposite end of the scale, a ‘Branscombe Room’. It was huge, super comfy and super quiet - we absolutely loved it….only downside was it was just one night!!!! The pub is great-big but still feels intimate and snug. We really enjoyed all the food we had there (dinner and breakfast) and would recommend booking in advance especially Friday-Sunday. Parking can get busy, and the access roads are pretty tight so keep in mind if you have a big car!!!

“Stunning rooms & food”
+Stayed for couple of nights - room 12 in the cottages was just stunning - huge bath, outdoor patio with beautiful views, such a comfy bed & so spacious. Best room we have stayed in for a long time. Really clean & so pretty. Love the beams & high ceiling! Luckily had prebooked dinner for both nights - wonderful food beers wines & service. Breakfast brilliant & all the staff were all just so friendly & helpful. Ideal setting for the beach & walking. Highly recommend & can’t wait to stay again.

“Beautiful rooms, great food”
+We stayed at The Masons Arms with friends and small children and had a brilliant time. The rooms were spotless and super comfortable , perfect after a day out. The staff were super helpful and welcoming throughout our stay, and the General Manager,David, is clearly doing a great job running the place , everything felt well organised and friendly. The food was a real highlight by chef Adam . We started with mussels, followed by a perfectly cooked medium-rare steak, and ended with an amazing sticky toffee pudding. Absolute treat! Mornings came with great breakfast smells and a very enthusiastic rooster providing our wake-up call 🐓. The location is peaceful and full of countryside charm. The beach is within walking distance, cows were grazing in the nearby fields, and in the evening we even heard an owl after sunset. At night, the sky was filled with stars , truly beautiful. A relaxed, family-friendly place with great food and a lovely atmosphere. We’d happily come back!
