A lovely spacious room with wonderful views of the delightful Devon countryside. We had windows on three sides of our very large room. Patio spaces for sitting in charming garden. A wonderful pub/restaurant on sight with loads of cozy charm. Great location for walking Devon coastline.

Beautiful location, very friendly and helpful staff. Dinner on both nights were excellent, I ordered steak on the first night which was first rate and the haunch was divine.
Breakfast first morning was very ropey, the bacon looked grey and tasted worse. The tomatoes smelt of fish! Second day was absolutely fine.
The room we stayed in (15) was huge and nicely furnished, excellent bathrooms. But the bed was like sleeping on concrete. I travel a lot (hotels 3-4 nights per week) and that was the worse i have slept in since... I did sleep on a concrete based bed in India. The staff were not surprised when I complained but helpful and soon re-arranged another room. Cosier and more comfortable bed, shame about the gentleman snoring all night next door.
Enjoyed my weekend away but the idea was for my girlfriend and I to really relax, and two sleepless nights scuppered our efforts. Still, would go again but ask before hand about the beds.

We stayed in the Mason's Arms as a halfway stop on our weekend walk from Budleigh to Lyme Regis. The village of Branscombe is extremely pretty and the pub is exactly what you would expect - bags of rural charm and extremely welcoming. We were initially given Cottage 1 - this is one of the rooms in the row of cottages behind the pub and has not yet been renovated. This room was extremely small and dark as well as being next to the road so we asked for an alternative - as the pub was not busy we were given a choice and selected a room in the cottages that had been renovated. This was light and spacious with a great ensuite. We ate in the pub that evening and the food was superb. The evening was rounded off by drinks in front of the inglenook fire - heaven!

Stayed for 2 nights in a cottage suite. Room was really lovely, location perfect, food very good, bar, atmospheric and cosy - beer excellent! A small problem with the drains was sorted out with commendable speed! Staff great, particuarly Helen, who was brilliant.

Small criticism is the bedding - hollofill duvet and (very uncomfortable) pillows.

Nevertheless, definitely worth staying - excellent place.
