The Helyar Arms - A Grade II listed 15th-century inn with traditional food, garden seating, and en-suite rooms

Set in the picturesque village of East Coker, The Helyar Arms is a 3-star, Grade II listed 15th-century inn featuring rustic charm with exposed beams and an open log fire in the bar. Comfortable and homely double and king-size rooms include en-suite shower rooms, tea and coffee facilities, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, each named after local places. The restaurant serves traditional British fare with seasonal dishes, including Sunday roasts and a selection of Somerset ciders, local ales, and wines daily from 12-2:30 PM and evenings from 6:30-9 PM (except Sundays, closing at 8 PM). A continental and cooked breakfast is available, offering options like chipolata sausages, smoked bacon, and eggs cooked to order. The Helyar Arms houses a skittle alley for entertainment and provides proximity to Yeovil Country Park (5-minute drive) and Montacute House (6 km away). A large sunny garden and on-site parking are available.

Pros

A 15th-century Grade II listed building with original features like exposed beams and a log fire.

The restaurant prioritizes locally sourced produce with frequently updated seasonal menus.

Rooms feature private en-suite bathrooms, tea/coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi.

Convenient access to attractions like Montacute House and Yeovil Country Park.

Large garden and ample parking space.

Cons

No on-site spa or gym facilities.

The historic building lacks an elevator, requiring stairs for room access.

“This inn distinguishes itself with friendly service and an inviting atmosphere, especially appealing for those seeking a traditional pub feel. The food earns high marks, notably the Sunday roast and pizzas, served in a setting that extends to a lovely garden. It's a comfortable and welcoming base in the village, supported by practical touches like on-site parking.”
