It was very welcoming and clean with all new bathrooms with cozy robes, complimentary beer, fizzy water, biscuits, and we enjoyed some great food. Breakfast was included. Also very dog friendly! They provided a dog bed for the family dog. Oh and very lovely beer brewed on side! Will be back for sure!

    An absolute gem of a pub in one of Devon's prettiest, most tucked away coastal villages. The…read moreMason's Arms is, quite simply, a fantastic place in every sense of the word. I've stopped off for a snack or a quick drink a couple of times, and it's always really impressed me, and the lunch my parents and I had recently ranks as one of the best pub dinners the Andrews family can remember. Their crab sandwiches were fresh, as were the fish in their delicious creamy leek fish stew, while the ploughmans was huge. Desserts of chocolate and pecan brownie and banana fritters with toffee sauce were gobbled up. Ok, it's not cheap for a Devon pub, but the food is worth every penny - there was hardly anything on the menu I didn't want to scoff down. The pub itself is a charming sprawl of wooden rooms, and a small seating area out the front. It's homely and although the staff run a slick operation, they're still friendly and helpful. The pub was recently taken over by St Austell Brewery, so there's a good range of their beers, plus a couple of guest ales. This includes one local beer brewed in Branscombe. It's quaint, delicious, comfy and sits in one of the most stunning areas of the Devon coast. It is, quite simply, a perfect pub.

The view from the garden was stunning and well worth the visit. I will come again. Swedish Ett helt fantastiskt ställe om man vill ha god öl och mat samt en utsikt som slår det mesta. Att slå sig ner i trädgården med en kall Ale från något lokalt bryggeri och beundra landskapet och se solen gå ned är värt en resa i sig. Svårslaget må jag säga. Personalen är mycket trevlig och gästvänlig och pubens stora St:Bernardshund Heidi kommer gärna och blir kliad vid bordet. Ölen är mycket god om man gillar ale. Flera sorter från lokala bryggerier finns att prova och jag fann aldrig nån anledning att ens kolla om de hade nån "vanlig" lager eller sånt blask. Är man i UK så är man. :) Maten är bra och du får mycket för pengarna. Jag åt en grillad köttbit med strips ( 4 cm tjocka!) med grillad svamp och tomater. Till det örtsmör på köttet och en skål gräddsås gjord med lokal blåmögelost. Köttet var mört och fint men intrycket grumlades något av att grillen inte rengjorts bra så det smakade lite bränt även om köttet var bra tillrett. Det var det enda minuset. Efterrätterna var fantastiska dock så totalintrycket blir högt. Man får inte vänta sig för mycket av en vanlig pub på landet. Är ni i närheten, stanna till här och njut av livet ett tag.

We stayed the night here and also had dinner. A nice touch was the owner ringing us the night before to check if we wished to dine because they were nearly fully booked. The rooms were really large and very well decorated, almost to malmaison standards but with a warmer feel. The food was very nice. Traditional but with a European twist - very nice lamb and steaks were had, along with a bottle of champagne to celebrate a friend's birthday. The owner came and told us all about the specials and the staff were attentive and friendly. Our favourite moment was when coffees arrived and we were presented with a 'coffee garnish' which was a small mousse type thing! I am dying to have an excuse to go back to Yeovil so I can take someone to stay here. Very much recommended.

You'd have thought being just up the hill from one of the biggest employers in the area with over 3000 employees it would be heaving. The last time I eat here was at a leaving do - I know I was a little bit late and you had my pre-order, but was there any reason why you had to cook it and then leave it on the hot-counter for me until I arrived? Nothing worse than dried, over-cooked salmon and prawn risotto. My theory is the chef is used to doing large banquets (judging by all the pictures of himself all over the restaurant) and thinks he's Ramsey. Hot tip - people who are number one rarely need to shout about it, especially in the restaurant trade. I fear the chef may have lost any degree of humility which would allow him to improve. Trying to be positive, the Ciabattas and salads are fine, but then you've got to be pretty special to mess that sort of food up.
