The Five Bells

Warm hosts and clean. Great food and pub atmosphere. Perfect for a one night stay

It was a very clean, cosy room, and tastefully decorated. The hospitality tray was nicely displayed. While the bathroom (very clean and roomy) was private it is not ensuite; it required going into the hallway a short distance and up a step. Not a problem unless one needs night time visits. Luckily the light switch for the hallway was easily at hand. The staff was very friendly, very together as a unit, and the whole pub is truly local and buzzing. Surprisingly, the pub noise did not filter upstairs, which felt very private.

I have nothing to complain about apart from the Wi-Fi there is not any and it wasn’t me as I was travelling with colleagues. When you’re on business away from Home, this is absolute necessary part of your stay.

Lovely, friendly welcome and service. A bit faded glory in our bedroom with uneven flooring. We did find the separate bathroom a bit inconvenient during the night. Otherwise good food and good value.

The area and the pub b&b was lovely the staff were extremely friendly and professional the locals who used the pub were very friendly and helpful would highly recommend a stay there thank you so much

Genuine old pub realky good food and pleasent place to stay.

Friendly place. Made me relaxed. Unfortunately very limited parking and WiFi not great.

Really lovely stay with great food and service. Highly recommended.

Fantastic stay! Parked out front, nice room, very comfy bed, no noise after pub hours, staff friendly as you could ever want! Had a great sleep and woke up to a fantastic full English included. Great gas/boiler shower in a separate bathroom a few feet away (only the twin I believe has a separate bathroom), and even gowns provided. Food was great, and very happy they had some 0% beers and cider and gin, as I’ve given up booze lol. A real gem of a place.

Superb well run pub great helpful staff good food and drinks very clean and comfortable bed good Wi-Fi.

Very basic accommodation.Bed was not very comfortable. Duvet too small so kept on falling off in the night.Bathroom was a short walk down the hall which is not great late a night. I usually do my homework on places to stay when I am working away from home but this got past me. I received an invitation to review the place before the Hotels.com review invitation came through and received a phone call from the owner to question my review and offering an upgrade the next time I stayed. Never experienced that before.

We stayed at The Five Bells as a last minute arrangement to avoid queues at Dover Ferry Terminal. It was a great choice, easy access to Dover and a really warm welcome from the staff and landlady. We had a nice evening meal and breakfast too.

If you want perfect this isn’t it, but if you want to stay in a historical traditional village pub with wonky floors, low door to bump your head then this is it. The checkin on arrival was very good, welcoming and easy. We were shown our double room which wasn’t grand but ideal for us and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great. Although we could hear noise from the pub below until closing time it soon became very quiet - we had two excellent sleeps. The landlady Mary made us feel welcome and cooked us a great English breakfast on both days and Sam was an excellent member of staff at check in, behind the bar and serving our dinner. Being a local pub it was kitted out for many social activities. The menu for dinner was varied and on both nights we had excellent cooked meals. Parking was limited onsite but free parking is nearby. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely place to stay if you are ever in the area... Mary does a great job of pampering her guests... Having traveled the globe , i would highly recommend this establishment

Lovely country pub, comfortable stay, friendly and helpful staff, good food, quiet. Couldn't be happier.

Excellent venue & friendly service.

Fantastic overnight stay while on business in the area, friendly staff, good nights sleep and excellent food and drink.

Very friendly and helpful staff and good procedures in place to adhere to Covid-19 regulations. However, the room was basic and very shabby with paper and paint peeling off the walls (despite the literature stating that the place had recently undergone a refurb). Breakfast good. We expected a bit more for the price we paid.

Friendly & helpful staff. Lovely well stocked bar with great beer! Excellent evening meal & breakfast!

It’s the village pub with just 3 rooms. Comfy and old but with plenty of character. Slept above the bar but wasn’t disturbed.
