T he creeper-clad, higgedly-piggedly thatched inn dates back to 1350 and has been sensitively refurbished to retain its period features. The atmosphere is pubby, casual and convivial, with locals swapping yarns over pints by the bar’s huge open fire. Nooks and alcoves make this the perfect place to hole up during bad weather.

WHAT COULD YOU BE WAKING UP TO?

EXPLORE BRANSCOMBE AND SOUTH DEVON

NEED A LITTLE INSPIRATION?

Surrounded by stunning countryside and a phenomenal section of UNESCO World Heritage coastline, the idyllic village of Branscombe is the perfect base for exploring South Devon’s great outdoors. The Mason’s Arms nestles between Seaton and Sidmouth, within walking distance of the Jurassic Coast.

S even centuries back, the Masons Arms dispensed cider to stoneworkers in surrounding Branscombe. Just two years ago, it was a tired country inn — albeit one pleasantly close to the sea. Now, after a careful £2 million makeover by the St Austell Brewery, you will find a posh pub with partly thatched exteriors, low beams and stone walls that has been enhanced by terrific, wholesome local food, cosy but cool decor and luxury touches such as Hypnos mattresses.
