I booked “The Five Bells” for a 2 night stay. We received a lovely welcome when we arrived. There was no car park but we could just park across the road. Our suite/apartment looked great on the first sight but if you looked a bit closer you could see a lot of dust and the cooking appliances where dirty. The... More

Friendly service and comfortable rooms are simply not enough to tempt us back to this establishment. Their food is a major problem and leaves very much to be desired. As the pub sits in a small village with no competition from other restaurants, we decided to dine in. A big mistake! I ordered fish, thinking it would be straight from... More

The welcome was very warm as we checked in. The pub/restaurant is modern, spacious & comfortable. The Twin Bedroom was really nice, plenty of room for two, crisp white linen, contemporary decor, lovely and warm en-suite shower. The fixtures and fittings are contemporary, red accent wall, black runners on the beds. The beds were very comfortable. There was complimentary shampoo... More

Stayed in the Dover Suite and was really looking forward to it. Huge disappointment. Bright green light from the fire exit sign in the bedroom shone all night directly into our eyes keeping us awake. We could hear every creak of the floorboards in the room above. The super loud bathroom fans in our bathroom and the bathroom in the... More

I have stayed here several times, both in the pub and the Dover Suite (which is split over two levels and perfect for a longer stay with children). Tony and John are always friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Great mattresses and duvets for a comfortable nights sleep. Showers... More

Shall we be 'glass half-full' here ? Yes, let's be constructive. Tony, the manager, is ebullient, courteous and friendly which goes a long way for The Five Bells' shortfalls of which there are aplenty, but we'll come onto that a little later. If you need some shut-eye, you've got an early ferry at Dover and need to be up with... More

My Wife and I found the Five Bells through Late Rooms, we were in need of accommodation as we had to attend a Family Function locally. We booked the night before for two nights after reading the reviews on this site. We have to say that the latest reviews are very accurate. Due to "Operation Stack". We arrived much later... More

We decided to book a last minute trip along the coast, staying at The Five Bells overnight. The new managers Tony and John were fantastic. They went out of their way to make you feel at home. The room was clean, tidy and up to date in deco, with a comfy bed and spacious shower. I liked how the managers... More

Lovely clean comfortable rooms.. Tony and John the new managers are excellent.. Clearly with years of hospitality experience. Nothing was too much trouble.. Good bar food. Highly recommend the steak and ale pie!! Good prices. Will come back in spring and stay again.. Well worth every penny
