The room was spacious and beautifully decorated with Elemis products in the bathroom. Our room was on the first floor in the cottages, which would have been challenging for anyone with mobility problems as the stairs are steep, but they have plenty of ground entry rooms too. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the pub itself has a lovely atmosphere and plenty of seating for having a long, lazy pint! We ate there both nights of our stay and the food was lovely, definitely posh pub grub.....and the on tap beer was delicious.

If I was being pushed then it would be the price, its not a cheap weekend away.......but worth it!

Beautifully located close to Branscombe bay, which is a short walk away. The landscaped gardens are a credit to the gardener, who maintains them all on her own! Welcoming cottage feel to them, and I think they make the outside space really stunning. Inside the room was tastefully decorated. Little touches like pillow spray and the DAB radio were appreciated. We slept incredibly well in the soft down bedding and pillows. The soft mattress may not be to everyone’s liking, but we found it very comfortable. The mini bar was also a welcome addition. Eating at the Masons was a delight. The food is absolutely delicious. A must try are the mussels in mariniere sauce! Portion sizes are generous and the breakfast offers good selections for continental as well as cooked. Lastly, a huge thank you to the staff, who are very helpful, friendly & super efficient. I’m sure it wouldn’t all run as smoothly without their obvious hard work! Will most definitely return.

It is a minor thing but the car parking is limited

The Masons Arms was a beautiful, romantic stay, with excellent dining choices; both our evening meal and breakfast. We loved the decor of the room; stylish, lovely lighting and a cozy feel, with a very comfy bed. The staff were professional and relaxed, it felt like they really knew what they were doing, which added a good vibe to the atmosphere. We also visited the Jurrasic Sauna on the beach which comes highly recommend! All together, like stepping into a different and magical little world for a night. Thankyou!

All good.

Friendly staff, nice meals (had both lunch and breakfast). Short walk to the beach. Car park was useful although did get full quickly. You would probably need to book for lunch or dinner in peak times as it did get very busy. Pub part was really busy as it was a nice day. Quirky old pub with lots of little sections and rooms. Can walk or drive to the beach from the Masons Arms. We would stay here again.

Car park was a bit chaotic but not really a lot the pub could do to change it. Was quite expensive for an overnight stay.

Room was as advertised - beautiful. Well appointed, cozy and inviting. The overall ambiance of the property is charming. The pub with the fresh flowers on each table and places set was very inviting. Everything is beautifully maintained - beautiful gardens and lovely accommodations. The terrace, with all its nooks and crannies was on the hillside and a wonderful private place to enjoy a glass of wine. We appreciated the staff showing us to our room and giving us the lay of the land. They food was excellent as was the service.

Really no complaints other than it was a warm evening. It would have been nice to have fan to cool down the room. We didn't sleep well as the room was very warm

A little bit out of the way but well worth the extra driving. The Masons Arms is a gem of a place, great food selection and well prepared, amazingly large and extremely well appointed room and we could walk to the beach in 10 minutes. It has everything you would want from a hotel / pub. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Parking was a little tricky especially at busy times but this was a small price to pay for eating and sleeping here. Will absolutely stop here again,

Nothing specifically, but parking was a little tricky when we arrived. Ok it was a Friday afternoon and in the middle of luchtime in the summer and close to the beach, so should have realised, but even with this small problem, it is a fantastic place to stay.

The property and location are outstanding. The staff are very personable, well trained and appeared genuinely interested with nothing being too much trouble. We arrived unexpectedly early so enjoyed an excellent lunch in addition to a superb dinner and breakfast. The menus were imaginative and the food was of excellent quality. The room was situated away from the main hotel, up quite a few steps but the remoteness meant it was quiet and had its own garden to sit out and enjoy the views. The room itself was quite delightful and of a generous size. The bed was incredibly comfortable and there were a lot of thoughtful touches, particularly the automatic light that came on in the bathroom at night. Overall, a very impressive stay with a lasting impression that the St Austell Brewery management are hugely experienced and strive to go the extra mile to ensure maximum customer satisfaction.

Nothing

Location was excellent, the pub was very impressive and what you hope to have in a country pub. The room was cosy and had plenty of storage. Very quiet and peaceful place to stay. Loved it

Bathroom door was a bit odd. A very heavy bi-fold, which some might struggle with. The bed was a bit too squishy for my liking. And on leaving, someone had tried to add their food and drinks bill to my room number. Just asking to see your room key would negate this, but you were just asked for a room number.

We loved the location, the pub, the food and the beach. Staff were excellent too especially Joaoa the bar man. He couldn't do enough for us. All the staff were brilliant and very attentive. The garden area for guests was a fabulous place to sit, take in the view and have a relaxing drink. Such beautifully kept gardens, with plenty of chairs. Breakfast was quality, with a lot of choice.

The room was very hot but so was the weather. The price of the food was a little steep but worth it. It would be have been nice to have a light lunch/sandwich menu because if you have booked for the evening you don't necessarily want the same food for lunch. This is only a small criticism. We were very happy with our stay and would recommend to our friends and family.
