About The Masons Arms
There’s a lot to be said for a break where the bar is downstairs, breakfast is sorted and the dog is on the guest list. The Masons Arms is a traditional pub with rooms in Meysey Hampton, a Cotswold village in Gloucestershire, where Len, Tess and the team are keeping the village pub at the heart of the community.
Dogs are welcome in all seven bedrooms, which sit above the pub in a 17th-century building. There are five doubles and two family rooms, with plenty of exposed beams and Cotswold stone. It’s an old building, so the rooms and en-suites are compact and cosy rather than hotel-sized, which suits a snug weekend with the dog just fine. The Family Room Classic has two interconnecting rooms and sleeps up to four, while the Superior double has an original fireplace and an easy chair for putting your feet up. Breakfast is included with every stay, and there’s free WiFi and free on-street parking too.
Dogs are welcome in the bar but not in the restaurant area, and the bar is a good place to be. Expect Arkell’s ales on tap, a fire in winter and a warm welcome for dogs and walkers alike. Food is served seven days a week, with locally sourced meats, seasonal vegetables and fresh fish and seafood. If you’d like to eat with your dog, call the pub on 01285 850164 and the team will try to find you a suitable table.
The Cotswold Water Park is right on the doorstep, with dozens of lakes to walk or cycle around, along with kayaking and water skiing if you fancy something more energetic. There are classic Cotswold villages to explore, and the history and character of Cirencester close by. If you’re coming by train, Swindon and Kemble are the nearest stations.
