The Story of
The Lilley Arms

Your Countryside Retreat

Nestled in the tranquil Hertfordshire countryside, The Lilley Arms isn't just a pub—it's a living piece of history. For over three centuries, this charming former coaching inn has stood as a beacon of hospitality, offering a warm welcome to all who pass through its doors.
 

A Timeless Landmark
 

With roots stretching back to the 17th century, our pub’s story is woven into the very fabric of the village. Positioned just off the A505, it was a crucial stop for weary travellers, providing a much-needed haven. This legacy as a coaching inn is a testament to its long-standing role as a community gathering place. As a Grade II Listed Building, its historical and architectural importance is officially recognised.

Your Perfect Country Pub
 

The Lilley Arms remains a traditional free house that embraces its rich past while creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for today's visitors. Whether you're a walker, cyclist, or rider exploring the beautiful Icknield Way, you'll find a perfect place to unwind here.

Enjoy a pint by our crackling fires on a cold day, or relax in our beautiful outside areas during the warmer months. And because we believe in welcoming everyone, we are a truly dog-friendly establishment.
 

The story of The Lilley Arms is one of tradition and community spirit. It's a place where the echoes of past travellers blend with the lively chatter of today's patrons, and every visit adds to our enduring story.
