Our four night stay at the Masons Arms was a dream come true. We first saw the pub/hotel 49 years ago and were delighted to finally have an opportunity to stay here. The room was wonderfully cosy in the inn and its recent updates were much appreciated. The shower was great and the towel heater was a treat for this Canadian! We had our breakfasts and dinners in house and the food was delicious. The location of the Masons Arms is perfect. Walks to the beach, up Beer Head, along the road to the church and up the lanes. The staff was very helpful especially on the odd occasion when we couldn't find a spot to park the car. They always managed to sort it out for us. We can hardly wait to return. Thank you.

We had a very clean room , but , being a person needing an accessible room and facilities to have to walk up a slope or 6 steps and the across to the far corner of the car park to find our very nice accessible room was hard work and detracted from the old world ambience of this lovely Pub /Hotel. The Staff did for warn us of the steps at the time of booking. There was no Dedicated Parking bay for disabled patrons any where near the Accessible room that we were allocated. If at all ! We enjoyed the menu and all the staff were very attentive to our needs and most welcoming. We enjoyed our stay despite the above but with a little more consideration in design from Management on the issues raised above this could have been a brilliant experience.

Room was fabulously clean and decorated lovely. Staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was delicious. The location is great, very peaceful and quiet. Great walking location. You will need a car to travel to nearby Sidmouth and the surrounding area due to the location.

Lovely old inn

We had a lovely stay at The Mason's Arms. The staff are just lovely. Our room was quite compact, but had everything you need. Very comfy beds. The location is good for an easy walk to the beach. Parking can be difficult, as its a popular place for food and drink, and we did visit on a bank holiday. But we had a lovely weekend stay.

Connor in his shed was particularly welcoming and thoughtful, we especially loved the private garden. Although a single night the Masons will remain a highlight of our trip to the UK.

Fantastic hotel. I typically stay at modern 5 star hotels with work and this was a great place (and I (unfortunately) have a pretty snobby taste). Staff great, older look but modern facilities.

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!?
