Set in the picturesque village of East Coker, this charming 15th century inn provides the ideal base from which to explore the Heritage South Coast, including Dorchester, Glastonbury and Bath.

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.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.

The Helyar Arms has been welcoming Booking.com guests since Nov 11, 2008

An Inside Look at The Helyar Arms

The Helyar Arms dates back to the C15 and its name was adopted after the death of the last of the East Coker Helyar family, Dorothy Heneage, in 1947. It was previously known as the New Inn and was owned by and mainly served the Coker Court Estate. The skittle alley is housed in an old building at the rear of the pub in the carpark which was converted from an old granary and stables in 1934.
