Hotel Review
The Masons Arms, Branscombe, Devon
Nestled in the heart of the quintessential village of Branscombe, on the south Devon coast, The Masons Arms oozes all the charm and character you'd expect from a centuries-old pub. Think large beer garden, cosy bar with low-beamed ceilings, whitewashed walls and a warming log fire, set amidst rows of pretty thatches, just a stone's throw from Branscombe beach. It's the perfect base to explore the Jurassic Coast, with a bar and restaurant menu that makes good use of the local and seasonal ingredients, serving West Country ciders and locally brewed beers. It's also dog and family-friendly, making for a memorable coastal getaway for all.
