The Masons Arms

“Great country pub.”

“Note: we stayed at this property almost immediately after it reopened to guests after lockdown. We stayed for 2 nights and wished we could've stayed longer. Location was perfect- very near lots of places to walk and visit (e.g. Montacute which is great for walking and for visiting the National Trust Property). The hotel itself is in a very small but quaint village, and the building itself was beautiful- a traditional thatched roof with modern decoration inside but in keeping with the building's history. We had everything we needed in the room, including a complimentary bottle of water and beer in the fridge. A great selection of tea and coffee and biscuits too. The ensuite bathroom was very modern and all the toiletries we could have needed were provided. The room was next to the beer garden but not noisy. We decided to eat in the bar both nights and had breakfast both mornings and the food was always spectacular. For the included breakfast we tried lots of options and loved them all but would especially recommend the full English and the vegan breakfast. Regarding the COVID-19 situation, the staff and management have handled this extremely well. We were asked to phone upon arrival to check-in and were also given the choice to check out over the phone. For all food, we were given the choice to eat in our rooms if we preferred. Despite being nervous, we decided to give it a go at the bar and found it was brilliantly organised. We booked a table in advance (which is possible online). They have tables in the garden too. All tables had laminated menus and signs to identify tables which had been cleaned. They asked customers to flip the sign over when leaving to indicate that the table had not yet been disinfected. They had foot hooks on the doors e.g. toilets to allow you to open doors without touching them and plenty of hand gel etc. All in all very relaxing, despite the current situation. I can't imagine how relaxing it would be normally!”
