Lovely traditional pub, wonderful atmosphere everything clean and great attention to detail. Room quite sweet. Lost our food order for dinner which led to an hour's delay. Were apologetic. Despite this would happily return,

Very disappointed with the breakfast. Cooked breakfast did not include baked beans. The bacon and sausages were undercooked. They could not provide any non-dairy milk or "butter" at all (for cereals, tea and toast). Also, no non-dairy yoghurts provided. Very expensive for what we did actually have.

Lovely and welcoming pub

Lovely pub and a perfect location. Very welcoming, tea, coffee and water were provided in the room, and the pub food was delicious. Overall, highly recommend. A minor comment, it was warm overnight so a thinner duvet would have been valuable.

Oasis of tranquillity

Everything was excellent at the Helyar Arms but we were particularly impressed by Mark the manager who although extremely busy found time to attend to our individual needs. Full marks to the owners and all the staff for a very friendly and relaxing stay.

An all round excellent haven

We had a most enjoyable 3-night stay at The Helyar Arms. Staff and the proprietors were most welcoming and helpful, the accommodation was clean, spacious and comfortable; and the food was excellent. The garden was immaculate and a joy to sit there with a drink. Prices were reasonable and and overall gave really good value for money. Strongly recommend.

A really good choice

Lovely stay at the Helyar Arms. Friendly welcoming staff and the food was excellent. Really good breakfast. Dog friendly and set in a very pretty village. Unexpected stay while coordinating a stressful house move and yet I still felt like I’d had a nice break away ! Will definitely be back.
