The Helyar Arms

The hotel is in a lovely location, very idyllic. We used to live not far from it and often enjoyed a Sunday Lunch there. Some wonderful improvements have been made in the 8 years since we moved away, the décor of the pub and the garden are just beautiful, the hard work that's gone in to it is very clear for all to see. Our room was large, comfortable and exceptionally clean with lots of sensible storage for clothes/luggage etc. Nicely laid out with tea and coffee making faculties plus fresh bottled water daily. It's an old building and we loved the fact that the floors were uneven and the drains so old and noisy, it added an authentic charm to the place. We didn't have breakfast during our stay because of early morning departures. However, if dinner was anything to go by then it would have been fabulous. Excellent variety of menu choices and was also utterly delicious. There's a wonderful atmosphere in the pub, a the staff were so friendly and helpful, not ingratiatingly so, they just really seemed to enjoy making sure the guests were all happy. Everyone had a fantastic work ethic and there was an easy atmosphere created by that culture. Service was prompt, efficient and given with a genuine smile, which makes such a difference. The hotel advertises itself as "dog friendly" and they didn't just pay lip service to it. We didn't take our dogs but were really heartened to see the way the staff catered for the dogs too. With so many village pubs closing down, how nice it was to see the locals using the pub. The owners should be so proud of what they have achieved. All in all a wonderful stay and we would love to stay there again.

Beautiful location, great facilities, really lovely food. Amazing beer garden. Breakfast was sensational on the Saturday, and the beer garden was a great place for my two little ones to run around early morning, away from the road and great space. Even though downstairs seemed busy we couldn’t hear anything once upstairs in our room, so a nice nights sleep for us all.

The staff were all very helpful and the food was excellent. The garden was beautifully kept, unfortunately the weather wasn't good so we weren't able to make use of it. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable.

This establishment met all expectations - actually exceeding any expectations - this is the most pretty, welcoming and professionally run pub, bed and breakfast and is definitely a place i would recommend. The Management and staff were helpful and considerate, they went out of their way to provide us with a meal despite us arriving late and the kitchen being closed. This is a beautiful find and one I would love to return to.

The pub has a lovely cosy feel to it with lots of interesting seating areas and fairy lights. There was plenty of space in the car park and the pub was lovely and warm when we went inside. Patrick, the landlord, went above and beyond. He was waiting for us when we came down for breakfast and even gave us a lift to the wedding we were attending. We left very early on our last day and the team even prepared us a basket breakfast as we were too early for breakfast time. As tea-a-holic our room had a kettle and lots of tea bags and milk which was great.
