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.

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.
