Odcombe is a charming hamstone village located in South Somerset, approximately 3 miles west of the town of Yeovil. The upper part of the village, Higher Odcombe,

sits on the crest of a hill while the lower part, Lower Odcombe is built on its northern slopes. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book and retains all of its English

village charm. The area is bursting with tourist attractions and stately homes to visit including the National Trust’s Montacute House, only a mile away and other attractions

including Tintinhull Gardens, Ham Hill Country Park, Fleet Air Arm Museum, Barrington Court and Haynes International Motor Museum, amongst many others. The Masons

Arms is less than a ten minutes’ drive from the A303, making this a very central location to both stay and visit.

DESCRIPTION

The Masons Arms is not just a pub! The business has many strings to it and its success lies in the fact that it offers so much, to such a wide audience, including locals and

regulars, tourists, campers and motor homers. The main pub oozes character with low beamed ceilings in the trade areas, which lead through to the converted skittle

alley - now six beautifully presented letting rooms with state of the art en-suite bathrooms. In between is the Odcombe Brewery, a one Brewers Barrel, plant which

certainly adds another angle to the business. Outside is a magnificent trade garden adorned in hollyhocks, with a thatched Rondavel. To the rear of the building is the

newly created shower block for the camping and motorhome site. There are two car parks that lead down to an enclosed paddock, with the camping site beyond.

The Shepherds Hut was introduced two years ago and has proved incredibly popular, with potential to add further units. Above the pub is a two bedroom

owners/manager's flat. Vendor is also offering an option to buy the Freehold interest in Poppy Cottage a 1 bed holiday home which is three houses down the road.

The Masons Arms is a truly unique business, which is presented to an extremely high standard throughout and showing a particularly strong net profit.

An early viewing of the business is recommended.

The business is split between wet sales, food, letting accommodation, camping

and brewery revenue. There is additional income from the holiday cottage, run

separately but available as an option to buy.

The Masons Arms pride themselves on using local suppliers for the majority of

their produce, supporting smaller family owned businesses wherever possible.

The pub offers an enticing range of evening meals, lunches, Sunday menus,

breakfast menus and takeaways, providing something for everyone.

During the COVID crisis the Masons Arms has built a dedicated website for

takeaways which has proved exceptionally popular, serving a wide catchment

area https://www.masonsarmskitchen.co.uk/. With very strong revenue, this

certainly helps ‘future proof’ the business against possible further pandemics.

The pub also offers a large range of wines, spirits, real ales, lagers and ciders

together with the usual soft drinks. The Odcombe Brewery provides six different

ales at different times of the year including Odcombe Number 1, Odcombe

Spring, Roly Poly and Drewers Broop!

The tariff rates for the letting rooms run from £68 per night for the single room up

to £129 for the family room, including a full English breakfast. Camping rates

range from £11 for a basic pitch per night to £20 for an electrical hook up, plus

£3 per person per night. The Shepherds Hut ranges from £57 per night for a

single occupation to £80 for double occupation, including breakfast.

The Masons Arms has a fantastic reputation and enjoys great reviews across all

digital platforms. The business is on most social media platforms and has an

excellent website https://www.masonsarmsodcombe.co.uk/
