To reflect its rich heritage, the Helyar Arms aims to provide a rustic and relaxed atmosphere, with traditional entertainment in the form of a skittle alley, an inviting open log fire in the beamed bar and locally sourced home-cooked food, prepared to order. In the warmer months you can also enjoy a drink in the pleasant garden.

The Helyar Arms also provides a restaurant that seats up to 85 guests, plus an adjoining bar, the Apple Loft, suitable for private parties. The bar can seat up to 40 people or 24 on 1 large table.

  • I’m planning to stay on Friday night. I’m not sure of my exact arrival time due to my job. The latest I’d arrive is 11pm. Would this be ok? Thanks :)
    Latest check in is 10pm, however, on a Friday night we are usually here until around 11.30pm so you should be ok. The best thing to do is to phone to let us know when you are expecting to arrive on the night so we can make arrangements
