Charming little pub stay good beer and food and in a lovely area close to beach and lovely village and challenging coastal and cliff walks. Our only complaint is that our room 25 was almost unbearably hot at night even with the Dyson fan going all night. Not sure if all rooms are as hot but understand that they all have the fans!? Will likely return in the hope that another room is cooler!?

Lovely stay at Mason arms, marketing team is.in point with all the littke touches to the room and cute extras such as postcards, printed cycling routes, relaxing sleep pillow mist and more. Was rwally impressed by the room and service from the staff. Dinner and breakfast were really tasty. One of the nicest vegetarian sausages ive ever eaten! Branscombe was also beautiful to walk and explore.

Staff were pleasant but very slow in everything they did. It wasn't even busy.
Check in was good. Room was a dream.
Evening meal was good.
Breakfast was nothing to write home about. I had Eggs Benedict. Nothing special
Check out was efficient.
It was a good stop on my way through walking. I probably wouldn't choose to go stay there.

Lovely old building in quaint seaside village.
Nice friendly atmosphere.
Room and bed rather small but maybe to be expected in such an old cottage type property.
