Exceptional place to stay, with wonderful staff, and great rooms. Make sure you set your alarm or you will miss breakfast, as the beds are so warm and comfortable. Stayed RM 7 TWIN. Everything you need in room and a spacious bathroom with quality finishings. As a larger person the shower was very accommodating, with excellent pressure for an electric shower. Porcelain shower tray , not your usual plastic, important to me as with arthritis I often slip. Wifi never faltered throughout my stay . Breakfast is delicious an more than ample. The staff go above and beyond and very welcoming. I overslept one morning and received a courtesy knock on my door at 9am, Prior to breakfast finishing , to enquire whether I wanted anything. So nice. I would rather not be leaving this review as I wanted to keep this place too myself. But that would be unfair on the hardworking staff at the Masons

I had too leave and come home

Amazing cooked to order full English Breakfast with fruit/cereals/juice buffet and toast. Nothing was too much trouble and all the staff were excellent, polite, attentive and happy to chat. A happy buzz in the bar full of locals with a good selection of evening meals except for Thursdays when the Fish and Chip Van is in the village. You buy your fish and chips (big and cooked in dripping), take them back to the pub where you are provided with knife, fork and napkin to enjoy them with many of the locals. A truly welcoming "Pub with Rooms" in a proper English village with a Butcher, Baker and Gunsmith! Fishing in the Tweed is a main attraction. We used the local bus service to visit Berwick on Tweed for both days we stayed. The Lowery Trail in Berwick was a particular delight.

The only thing we did not like was having to leave - we were fortunate to get an extra night when someone cancelled last minute!!

The Mason's Arms is a lovely little village hotel/pub accommodation with great hosts/staff, very friendly, good humoured and helpful. I had a twin room which was clean and cosy and equipped with a kettle and hospitality tray with tea, coffee, biscuits etc. There was a good sized shower in the en suite which was very welcomed as I arrived by motorcycle and was very cold - the shower was excellent! The kitchens were closed on the night we stayed (mentioned on booking.com) but all was not lost as a mobile fish and chip wagon pays a visit the same day of the week, with a varied choice of fish/chips/chicken/haggis/sausage etc. Very tasty! The 'full English' the following day ticked all boxes. I've nothing bad to say about this property and would recommend it as a perfect base to explore the local castles and countryside.

Surprisingly comfortable bed (for a single bed particularly), confirmable and clean room with a decent shower. Friendly staff who appeared to be very accommodating, and good breakfast

Sadly the night I visited (Thursday) is the chef's night off so your catering choice is the fish and chip van which calls by the village; for other visitors: Tuesday is pub quiz, and Thursday is bingo. One minor irk was the lack of accessible plug sockets - both in the room and the main bar, and no 'work surface' such as a desk/bureau/dressing table in the room.

We had a family gathering to go to the horse racing at Kelso. We stayed at the Masons Arms for 2 nights and had an excellent time. We had dinner the first night and had most things off the menu, all of which were great. The rooms have obviously recently been refurbished and are clean and comfortable with lovely bathrooms. Breakfast was excellent. James was the perfect host and catered for all our choices, with freshly cooked breakfasts. The snug was great for us to relax after the races for a game of cards and a few drinks. Linda organised us a few sandwiches as we were not wanting dinner. A whisky by the fire in bar finished the evening. Can't recommend the Mason's Arms more highly for their friendly staff, delicious food and lovely rooms. Will definitely come again next time we're at the races. Thanks for being such lovely hosts Linda and James.

Everything was perfect!

The owners & staff at the Mason's Arms made us feel very welcome and were very kind & helpful. The breakfast selection was excellent; a freshly cooked full English was available along with a continental choice, including cereals, yoghurts, fresh toast, jams and fruit juice. Our room was clean and most comfortable, and had the usual tea & coffee making facilities. There was a separate entrance for the accommodation, which was much appreciated. We also thoroughly enjoyed the on-site restaurant. Nothing was 'frozen then re-heated' here. It was all freshly cooked to order and absolutely lovely. Norham is a lovely village and is perfectly situated for exploring north Northumberland & the Scottish Borders, beautiful parts of the UK. I believe tge Mason's is also very popular with the angling community due to its close proximity to the River Tweed. We had a lovely stay at the Mason's and will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff.

Interesting room layout, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Friendly, local pub bar with cheerful staff and happy atmosphere, even on election day! 😀

Not really any negatives except that the night we stayed, there was no dining-room service and we were unfortunately unable to entertain guests for dinner. However, this is a regular feature of which we were aware of, when we booked and the visiting "Chippie van" was more than adequate! Bathroom was small, but it is a pub not a luxury hotel!

Lovely owners and staff who all made us so welcome. Comfortable, cosy pub with some quaint, older rooms and a lovely new dining and bedroom extension. They did satisfying evening meals, which is great for those who don't want to go out of an evening.Great place to meet some of the locals who also gave us a warm welcome. A fantastic place to use as a base to explore Northumberland .It was a lucky find and we had a great time.Thanks for a happy stay.

Very welcoming owner/host, comfortable room, and spectacular breakfast. The inn is beautifully decorated as a launch site for a day on the Tweed. Momentos of great fishing, shooting, trekking decorate the banquet/breakfast area. Fine art by local artists compliment the theme. The real treat is breakfast, itself. The black pudding and the sausage are unique and well prepared. He has specially sourced them from people who understand and appreciate sports people. Not gamey, just delicious.

All was good

The room was exceptionally well appointed. Lovely bathroom with an excellent shower. Evening Meal was very good at a Reasonable Price. Breakfast was included in the price. Definately a place for a return visit.

Now I am nit-picking to find something to criticise. I did have a bit of trouble getting the body wash dispenser in the bathroom to give me some soap. Probably me being cack-handed. Large mirror at end of corridor frightened me to death returning from the bar in the evening. 😱😂👍
