The Masons Arms

We went for lunch after visiting Montacute House. I had the ploughman's lunch which was very poor. There was nothing homemade on the plate. Packet coleslaw, sweaty processed cheese, cheap, sliced processed bread and, cheap, slimy smoked salmon. We can, and do, provide better meals at home. My wife's Ceasar salad was OK she said, but nothing special.

I stayed at the Mason’s Arms in Odcombe the night before my wedding in April 2023. I arrived a couple of hours early before check in and Taylor was very welcoming and allowed me to check in early so I could get on and arrange the rest of my day. I ordered breakfast the evening before which was ideal for me. The room was fantastic; very roomy, clean and attention to detail. Lots of coffees and milks and the bathroom had lots of toiletries, even makeup pads!! I slept really well. The room was quiet, even with the ceiling fan on! The next morning, I arrived for breakfast at 0815 and was met by Rose (I think) and she was so lovely and welcoming. The table was well laid out and the coffee was good! The cooked breakfast was fab, good local food. The staff and pub were so wonderful and an absolute credit to our local town and villages. Would most definitely recommend anyone to stay and, if I had to stay away from home (5 miles away) again, I would chose here x

We stayed here in June for a party we were attending nearby. Our room was lovely - we had a drink from the bar getting ready and the staff recommended a taxi company to take us to the event. Next morning we had the most amazing breakfast. It was cooked to order and piping hot. One of the best Full English we have had. Really friendly and helpful staff. Would really recommend staying here. We will be back when we visit our friends again.
