Beautiful location. Ideally situated for the South West Coastal Path. Lovely pub atmosphere with a good restaurant. Local beer. Staff were helpful on site. Parking.
Room was cosy but had everything that you needed. Lovely shower.
Very nice and very special to stay at such on old guesthouse. Lots of people visiting this day in May 2026 with +30 degrees but the staff managed to serve all the guests in a good way. We had a very nice dinner, good sleep and excellent breakfast the next day. The Masons Arm experience was thumps up and we recommend.
Great pub super location but the restaurant part needs looking at had English breakfast twice and it started at 8am we sat down at 8.05 and the bacon, sausage, hash brown were rock hard and a lot of people were asking for yogurt but were told sorry but delivery was late (3 days late)
Would we go again. Yes

Spotless room, really friendly staff and great food and atmosphere in the oub
Very warm welcome from all the friendly staff. My room was external to the pub but it was lovely and warm (despite freezing temperatures outside) it was nice and spacious and had lovely facilities, nice bathroom and very clean. The walk from village to beach and the surrounding little narrow lanes are great if a tad challenging and I would recomend a stay here.
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.
A lovely hotel in a lovely village next to the beautiful sea. We had a great time and tasty food! Hopefully will come back once.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by all of the staff. A huge thanks to Connar who couldnt do enough for us. Gorgeous place to stay. Spacious room ( room25). Food was delicious and good sized portions. Great place to stay and 15 min walk to the beach.
