Just got back from a few days away in their Shepherds Hut. What a great experience. So nice to be there. Perfect quiet little village. Scenery is amazing. The pub is clean,friendly and the staff couldn't of been anymore helpful. Breakfast was the best I've had, and the evening meal was top notch too. Compliments ro the chef.
Please go and spend some time here and support a small British village pub.

Wonderful establishment!

Timing = Perfect
Pricing = Appropriate
Food = Delicious

Chef Harvey (?) gave us an extra treat and served us within 15 mins of ordering food, what a hard worker, the staff were heavily overwhelmed but delivered wonderful drinks within a short amount of time.

Wonderful establishment, would definitely recommend.

Stopped in the campervan on the bank holiday weekend. The pub is clean and very dog friendly. They also have a dedicated dog walking compound which is awesome. Two toilets for the camping field but they ran out of toilet roll a couple of times despite only 50% of pitches being used. Food looks nice but a little pricey. Unfortunately the food had finished on the Sunday as the times were not consistent with the website. The staff were really friendly and everything was really clean. BTW it is a tight entrance for larger Motorhomes but long wheelbase Campers are fine. One Motorhome had to reverse in and out of site. I would stay again.

Visited today for breakfast as friends were stopping at the pub. We had previously arranged for a 0930am arrival but when we arrived our friends had already been seated but the table had not been laid up for us. No breakfast menu was provided and we had to ask if cereal was available and our friends ordered cornflakes and we all asked for full English breakfast. After some wait the cooked breakfast arrived but the cornflakes were completely forgotten. The cooked breakfast was mostly over cooked and the eggs obviously were not fresh as the white was bubbled and the yolks set, not nice and only just about edible. The toast provided was thin but only supplied with butter we had to ask for preserves, which turned out to be in sachets and a brand none of us were familar with. I am sorry to say that since Hall and Woodhouse brewery purchased this property it has gone further and further downhill both with the excessive price of the rooms, the tye to their ales and the general demeanour of both pub and grounds. The pub is once again up for rent full details are published on the brewery website and I wish good luck to anyone willing to take challenge to pull this pub back up to standard. Unfortunately our friends who had stayed here several times when visiting us will not be returning again!! This used to be the go to village pub now it is best avoided!!

I had booked an overnight stay at the Masons Arms but when I arrived there was a sign saying Temporarily closed due to unforeseen circumstances. No contact before or after which is disappointing. It’s not the most convenient of locations as it’s at least 3 miles out of the centre but luckily, one of the other guests had arrived around the same time and gave me a lift back into the centre where I could find other accommodation. Not sure how long I would have been waiting for another taxi back otherwise.

Great pub with fantastic food and staff. We stayed in the campsite but wasn't impressed. There are 2 showers and 2 toilets and when we stayed, it was quite busy. One toilet became blocked which meant 1 toilet between about 30 people! Also there was a lack of toilet roll so ended up buying our own. On our last day, the owner let someone pitch on the road onto the site which made it tricky to drive off the site and upset other campers next to the road.

Just returned from a weekends camping at the Masons and i cant praise the staff highly enough. Its a beautiful thatched pub in a quaint village. The food is good pub grub, reaonably priced and service was very polite and prompt.
Sadly we witnessed some appalling behaviour from some motorhomers being drunk and abusive to staff and felt we had to intervene to support the poor member of staff.
The atmosphere on fhe campsite was awesome and friendly generally and the entire team at the pub went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a great one!
I loo forward to returning to this little gem very soon. Thanks loads Alec and his team...you guys rock!👍

Dropped into this pub for the first time this afternoon for a drink. Having looked at the menu we thought the food sounded great. We asked the barman whether we needed to book a table for later. He checked the computer and said no as they only had one booking. We went back later that evening only to be told that several things were off the menu due to supplier issues and then when we went to order the bartender told us that he was shutting the kitchen because they had run out of food. We were quite disappointed as they could have told us about the ‘supplier issues’ earlier when we asked about booking and we wouldn’t have gone.
