Private Accommodation:
There is a two bedroom flat above the pub
The Mason’s Arms enjoys steady trade throughout the year, although there is a clear uplift during the school holidays and key seasonal events.
The busiest trading days are over the weekend, but mid-week lunches are also very popular with senior and local guests. The pub benefits from many guests visiting the nearby National Trust attractions.
Accommodation guests are a mixture of professionals and visitors to the area. The campsite attracts business all year round, particularly families, and can be open throughout the year for camper vans and motor homes due to the large hard standing area and electrical hook ups
The Mason’s Arms is located in the village of Odcombe, just a 5 minute drive from Yeovil which has a population of around 50,000 residents. With stunning surrounding scenery, there is plenty to do in the area, including excellent walking and cycling, nearby National Trust properties, beaches within a 45 minute drive, and attractive towns for shopping just a short drive away.
There is significant housing expansion in Yeovil and thriving business parks, along with the home of British Helicopters only 10 minutes away. Yeovil has two train stations, a central bus station and good road links to the rest of the South West, so nearby Odcombe is perfectly situated for visitors passing through or staying to explore South Somerset
“I would especially welcome applications from community-focused publicans and restauranteurs who are keen to immerse themselves in village life and keep the Mason’s Arms at the hub of the local community.
A Business Partner who loves to run guest accommodation and has experience of running campsites and seasonal businesses would be preferred, but not essential.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced, enthusiastic hospitality professional.”

FMT is the level of turnover and profit that we believe that the business is capable of delivering if being operated competently. The FMT is usually calculated by the Business Development Partner for the pub to rent, who will produce a shadow profit and loss account for the business which supports the rent. A copy of the shadow profit and loss account will be provided during the recruitment process.
Please see our Code of Practice for more information on FMT and rent. The Fair Maintainable Trade is not a guarantee of levels of trade or profit that will be made from the business – we strongly recommend you seek appropriate independent legal and business advice as part of your Business Plan.
The Full Investment Breakdown for each public house is higher than the minimum investment we will accept. This is because potential Business Partners with the minimum investment available can still be accepted as we are able to offer them financial support for the rest of the monies.
The working capital incorporates the purchase of stock, glassware, loose catering effects and valuer fees – please note the number quoted on this website are based on estimates. The exact costs will be determined on the day you take on the public house by independent valuers and stock takers. Please see our Code of Practice for more information about investment.
