Coastal Character, Warmth and Simplicity

​

For those looking for something more informal but no less characterful, the Masons Arms in Branscombe offers a different but equally appealing base during your time at Blannicombe.

Set in one of Devon’s most picturesque villages, this historic inn dates back to the 14th century and retains much of its original charm. Low beams, stone walls and open fires create a setting that feels immediately familiar, while thoughtful refurbishment has introduced a level of comfort that sits easily alongside its heritage.

​

Bedrooms are spread between the main inn and a collection of nearby cottages, offering a range of options for individuals, couples or small groups. Each room is simply and comfortably appointed, providing a relaxed space to return to after a day in the field. There is nothing forced about the experience here. It is straightforward, welcoming and well judged.

​

Food is at the heart of the Masons Arms, in keeping with the tradition of a proper country pub. The menu combines established favourites with seasonal dishes, using fresh local ingredients and reflecting the character of the West Country. Whether it is a full dinner after a shoot day or something lighter, the approach is consistent. Good food, well prepared, served without fuss.

​

Its location, close to the Jurassic Coast, also offers the opportunity to extend a stay beyond the shooting. Coastal walks, sea air and open views provide a natural contrast to time spent inland, adding another dimension to the visit.

​

The Masons Arms suits those who value atmosphere, simplicity and authenticity. It is a place to unwind, to eat well and to enjoy the rhythm of the countryside, all within easy reach of Blannicombe.
