The room was spacious with everything you might need. It had a view of the sea across the front forecourt. The quickest route to reception and the restaurant was via the car park, otherwise it was a bit of a rabbit warren through the corridors and stairs.
The food was very good quality and there was plenty of it, I struggled to leave room for dessert. The service in the restaurant was very efficient and the staff very friendly and attentive.
The hotel is a short walk from the beach and the town, and you don't have to walk up much of hill at at when returning.

This Grand Old Dame of English seaside hotels is in sparkling condition throughout. She is not cheap - but she is an excellent hostess and she will fulfil your every wish if you let her. Some may find her old fashioned - but that is a major part of her charm. From Martinis in the afternoon to sunsets over the sea in the evening, she has everything you need for a relaxing weekend. The sound of the waves playing us to sleep at through an open window was an added bonus!

Our flight was delayed so we arrived after the restaurant closed. The owner and his wife made us welcome, even though they had closed for the night. They very kindly opened a bottle of wine and made us a wonderful dinner. Throughout the stay their hospitality was amazing. The owner would not let us walk to the bus stop, instead he very kindly drove us all the way to Sidmouth in his own car! They really could not have done more for us!

The staff was very very helpful. They gave us a room with an excellent view along the Esplanade. The breakfast was really good. We also liked that it was shoulder season and had fewer people. It was really nice walking into town and along the coastal trail.

I would imagine Branscombe would once have been a pleasant little community but now it appears to be a lock up and leave village which is really sad. Like so many other small village dotted around the U.K. there seems to be no sense of community, probably bustling in summer months with holiday makers.
There is a lovely walk from the village down to the coast along the river side part way. There are footpaths but some are hidden. A quiet spot for an early spring break but watch the narrow windy single track roads and pray you don’t meet a lorry! There are great coastal paths here for walkers and it’s a nice spot for dog walks.
The rooms at the Mason’s inn are impressive and comfortable. The little kitchen area in ours lacked cutlery, wine glasses, tea towels and a kettle. It had two fridges though and a coffee machine where you could get hot water.
We really missed our cappuccino in the mornings for breakfast, the coffee provided at breakfast wasn’t great.
All in all Branscombe is a nice place for a short stay.

We stayed in Branscombe because it was close to the location we were visiting the next day. It was a lovely village and the beach was only half a mile away. We could've spent at least two or three days there at the hotel.

Comfortable large double bed and large room and bathroom.
Comfortable large double bed and large room and bathroom. But we gave manager a list of "niggles" (e.g. light in bathroom mirror not working) that were not put right during our stay. Decent food though sometimes overcooked. All staff very friendly and helpful including taking suitcases to our room - important when there are so many steps. Only outside space was immediately onto car park.= - no garden or lounge. Although we liked the hotel, overall we felt it was rather overpriced.

Beautiful village with lovely walks.
Beautiful village with lovely walks. We took the coastal path around the cliffs to Beer, which was challenging in parts, and the cliff top walk back. I’m so glad we did it that way round as the hill back down to Branscombe beach was so steep there was no way I’d have managed to climb it. We walked up the hill to The Fountain Head pub one evening and had a fabulous meal; would definitely recommend a visit as apart from the excellent food, the staff were great too.

Very pretty mostly unspoilt village with blacksmith and 10 minute walk or short drive to the beach. Not good for cars so ideal for walking and photo opportunities abound. Some interesting history around the older buildings
The pub is situated in a very picturesque village. We were greeted by a very friendly man called Jose. He explained to us that due to staff shortages, a cooked breakfast would not be availabe during our 3night stay.
Instead, we had a delicious breakfast with cereal, fresh fruit, croissants, toast and jam. All very substantial.
There is a beach at Branscombe …half a mile away and a beautiful coastal walk from the church in the village.
We also liked looking at the forge where the blacksmith makes lots of items.
We were very happy with the generous size of the room and a proper disabled wet room en-suite. The position was also perfect for our little dog.
The staff couldn’t be kinder and more helpful. Every request was happily met and promptly dealt with.
The morning walks to Branscombe beach was along a well marked level pathway and heavenly!
It was a perfect retreat to unwind and recharge. We totally enjoyed our stay!
Breakfast was very nice. They did have a hiccup with our order, and we had a long wait for our food. However, they couldn’t apologise enough and extended our check out time, so we didn’t have to worry about rushing. A minor blip in what was a lovely stay in a awesome hotel in a great location.
Beautiful location there is not a great deal in branscombe but that is what we were after. An excellent place to unwind. Very friendly owners who very kindly gave us an upgrade. I love the style and setting of the property. The room was so charming and had the most amazing bed.
We loved our stay at The Mason Arms the staff were all very friendly, the rooms were lovely and comfy, the evening meal and breakfast were great and all a short walk from Branscombe beach. The guest gardens were a great added bonus. Despite the minor negatives we will be back!
Lovely charming pub nestled in the valley of Branscombe village and ideal only short walk to the coast with some gorgeous coastal walks. Amazing evening food and breakfast in morning sunshine, but all round lovely treat for weekend getaway
Beautifully renovated property that felt like a home away from home. The staff were extremely welcoming and accommodating. The location of the property was beautiful with Branscombe Beach a 10 minute walk away. Would definitely return!
The location - Branscombe - has been our favorite place to visit for over 25 years, and Smugglers Close was the icing on the cake with it far more than we expected as we had not stayed there previously.
The hotel is beautiful.
Our room was lovely. Very comfy bed and lovely clean bathroom.
Patsy and Sophie in the restaurant were absolutely superb.
The location is beautiful.
Just generally a great stay. Beautiful building, great staff, lovely food. We walked from here to Beer and back....to a well earned (and fabulous) dinner in the restaurant.
