All round fantastic overnight stay on business. Will be back. Food = Amazing

Beautiful old building, in a pretty little village, just 25 mins from the Eurotunnel. Delicious dinner and cooked breakfast. Perfect overnight stay!

The room was delightful and quirky - lovely roll top bath and really quaint with great views.

Room was clean albeit slightly late for 3pm check in. We stayed in ortega which had a lovely bathroom but found the toilet was very cramped. The log fire was a lovely touch and the lack of TV was different but not something that put us off. We had dinner in the restaurant and both starters were delicious and my wife's main course was beautiful but I opted for the steak which although cooked perfectly, was incredibly fatty which detracted from the enjoyment of the meal. The manager was quick to notice and put things right by way of discount and a complimentary brandy. Overall we had a lovely stay and break away from reality 👍

We loved the quintessentially English charm of this 16th century inn.

We loved our stay at the Five Bells Inn. Beautiful rooms, great breakfast, cosy pub and lovely surrounding village & countyside. We will definitely stay again.

Lovely atmospheric bar and restaurant with open fire. Food and service was excellent. Bathroom in bedroom lacked privacy and no TV.

Was a wonderful hidden Jem with amazing bar and restaurant. The room was lovely and the only challenge was taking a shower in a bath tub ha but it was big and copper gorgeous. Will be back again.

Very warm and friendly welcome by all staff with great service and excellent choice of drinks especially there own Plumb Gin. Yummy. Very relaxed about our slightly late arrival. We loved the Innovative and quirky decor throughout. Bed was so comfy and the complimentary port for a night cap,loved it. So nice that there was no TV. In the bedroom too. Complimentary breakfast delicious and plenty food, hot and cold drinks to start your day. Definitely would really recommend staying here. Thank you for making our stay so lovely.

This hotel is just stand out Brilliant. 10/10 for character and friendly staff. It’s so quiet as an area as well

I was on a motorcycle trip and stopped at the five bells before getting the Eurotunnel in the morning. Room was great, staff were super friendly and great food. I would definitely recommend.

Great hospitality and lovely decorated room. The food also was really good. The only thing that was a bummer was the check-in information. On Expedia and other booking sites it states: Sunday till 9pm. After booking we got a mail from the property that it’s 6pm. Rechecked on their website and it stated 7pm. Really unclear and no response to mails. After a call the helpful lady made arrangements to help us which was great. Could be a five star review if this gets sorted.

Beautiful. We are en route to France. So impressed, we are planning to call on our return journey for dinner.

Great place with loads of history and character. Nice host and staff. Lovely room but mind your head on the low beams. Left too early for breakfast - host prepared a nice breakfast hamper for us.

All round a great stay. Staff were great and the accommodation top class.

What an amazing pub/hotel, the room was the quirkiest that ive ever stayed in, great drinks, great food, great service, and the best breakfast ever. A perfect one night stopover on a long business trip.

I had a truly wonderful stay at The Five Bells — it was perfect in every way. After a long and hectic day photographing for a Kent-based property developer, it was exactly what I needed to unwind and relax. The atmosphere was peaceful, the surroundings charming and everything was immaculately kept. What really stood out were the thoughtful little touches throughout my stay, which made it feel all the more special, it’s clear that a great deal of care and attention goes into making guests feel genuinely welcome. The breakfast was exceptional — the best I’ve had in a long time. Fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, it was the ideal start to the day. I’ll definitely be returning and can highly recommend The Five Bells to anyone seeking a calm and comfortable retreat.

Very cute place with uniquely designed, quirky rooms. I loved it! I really appreciated all the thoughtful touches (fudge, cold milk, port, selection of teas and coffee). I needed to leave earlier than breakfast was served, so was provided with a breakfast hamper, which was absolutely wonderful! Very, very good service in the restaurant too.

Gorgeous room, felt thoroughly spoilt with the extra treats provided with the room refreshments. Really got to relax in style. We also dines at the pub and had a delicious meal, all sourced from local produce. Will definitely return.
