6.0

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 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,

‘Gem of a place!’

10.0

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👍

In the sticks

6.0

The room although it was a large double had no seating to relax in your own space. There was an annoying step that encroached the room. The pub was very beautifull set within a beautiful village.
