Thank you very much to the Helyar Arms team for the warm hospitality, we very much enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean and comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches and breakfast was nicely varied and had plenty of options for guests with gluten and dairy intolerances as well which is by no means a given. We look forward to returning.

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.

‘Gem of a place!’

As our family live in different parts of the country we try to meet up once a year. We chose a ‘gem of a place’ with The Helyar Arms! Fabulous atmosphere/ ambience. The staff were so kind and friendly and our accommodation was clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable. Such a pretty place with an abundance of brightly coloured hanging baskets and a beautiful ‘secret’ garden to the rear of the hotel with ample seating. An excellent place to stay👍

The staff were obviously well trained and happy to help. The food was delicious with a pleasing menu that was part usual pub favourites and part gastro pub.
I opted for the pheasant.
The pub itself still has a cosy traditional pub feel while being clean and modern.
The bed was very comfy and the room had all the facilities i would hope for.

Interesting period property in charming village.

Interesting, quirky period room with nice views.

Comfortable bed. Quiet except for occasional stange banging noises at night, possibly the wind flapping something. Not much noise intrusion from guests in the corridor either.

The only thing we didn't appreciate was being phoned several days in advance to be asked if we wanted to book for dinner!

Quite apart from the fact that we'd seen neither menu nor prices and obviously had no idea so far in advance as to what our appetites would be on the day, they then explained that if we didn't book we would probably have to wait as their restaurant could get overcrowded!! With us both being very susceptible to Covid, that was the very last thing we needed to hear, so we politely declined.

Enjoyable and lovely stay

Very happy with our stay. We received a phone call prior to our arrival to ask if we wanted to book an evening meal, so they could a book a table, as they get full quickly. Liked that we could check in as early as 12 midday if we wished. Room was large and very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. Breakfast was very good and catered for our dietary requirements excellently. The same for the evening meal. This was excellent too.

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.

Comfortable and relaxing

Comfortable rooms and Clare and the other staff were very friendly. Very relaxed bar, and they’re happy to have dogs in the rooms and bar which is great, even giving them treats!

Our only niggle was that £7 for tiny white rolls (called paninis on the menu) was a little pricey.

Also that your latest time for breakfast is 8.45 at weekends.

Nicely refurbished inside and outside. Friendly efficient staff. Sunday evening menu was limited but the food was good.
Didn't opt for breakfast as the service times were too early for us as tourists. Check out time of 10am a bit harsh.

Pleasing last minute stay.

Lovely village pub, comfortable accommodation and friendly staff. Evening meal in the pub was to a good standard however breakfast could of been better. £10 a head and same for children, cooked breakfast all served on bowl together “platter” eggs cooked to order.
Overall however a very pleasing stay and would return but omitting breakfast.

A great stay in a lovely village.

Reasonably priced rooms and dog friendly. East Coker is a lovely village with good walking starting on your doorsteoThe Helyar has adapted well to the current Covid situation with all precautions taken yet still providing a warm and inviting atmosphere in the bar area.

Fantastic atmosphere, especially at this social distancing time.
All staff were helpful and did what they could with the current restrictions.

Charming place in a lovely setting

Really nice. Great dog friendly venue. Fantastic breakfast. Our bedroom was not great in terms of acoustic insulation and had noisy plumbing but to be expected in a property of this age. More than made up for by the character of the place and the tasteful sensitive interior decor.
