St Austell Brewery's Masons Arms in Devon undergoing £2m refurbishment

St Austell Brewery's the Masons Arms in Branscombe, Devon, is undergoing a "sensitive, yet transformational" £2m refurbishment.

The inn is due to reopen before Easter and the investment is expected to create 15 new jobs, with the business looking to hire front of house and back of house team members, chefs and housekeepers.

Dating from the 14th century, the property has 28 rooms and a converted cottage, with timber frames, low beamed ceilings, pine cladding and whitewashed walls all being restored.

As part of the refurbishment, each of the rooms, including the thatched cottage, will be redesigned, alongside shared spaces such as the dining rooms.

Tamsyn Allington, people and communications director, St Austell Brewery said: "We are delighted to be investing in the future of the Masons Arms, an iconic country inn which has always been popular with our locals and – thanks to its beautiful location – attracts visitors from far and wide.

"Our people are right at the heart of everything we do, and we're always on the lookout for passionate and talented team members to help us deliver unforgettable experiences in our pubs. At St Austell, we're committed to nurturing and releasing the potential of our people and are proud to be in a position to offer great career opportunities in Branscombe and across the South West – one of the most beautiful regions of the UK."

Established in 1851, St Austell Brewery owns more than 180 pubs, inns and hotels across the West Country, including managed houses and tenancies.
