The staff were very pleasant and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. They had even put out a couple of bollards to ensure that we would have a parking space at the side of the property, right next to the entrance, which we really appreciated. Our room was clean and cosy, and the bed was very comfy. We really appreciated being able to simply walk downstairs to the restaurant, where a table was set up and ready for us, and we enjoyed a tasty meal. Breakfast the following morning was delicious - with a wide variety of options on offer. Once again, staff were very friendly and attentive, making our stay at The Five Bells very pleasant and homely. We would happily recommend it to other visitors.

Eastry was beautiful and I loved the quaintness of the Five Bells. The room was wonderful; bed extremely comfortable. The staff were exceptional. The landlady, Mary was very welcoming. She and the staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. The food was great and reasonable priced. I can't say enough about the Five Bells.

There wasn't anything to dislike. Everything and everyone was exceptional. I highly recommend the Five Bells.

Absolutely everything. Communication with Mary prior to our stay was great, always answered my messages quickly. Advised us where we can park, asking if we would like a table for dinner as the football was on and would be busy, unfortunately we didn’t because we had a wedding to go to. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome. Mary, David and Mary’s daughter ( so sorry we didn’t catch your name) are extremely friendly and hospitality. Nothing was too much bother for them. The room was lovely, cosy, clean and extremely well equipped with tea and coffee, extra blankets. We did want for anything. It’s an amazing homely pub. Lovely old building with all the original features. Really charming. A proper pub which are few and far between these days which is very sad.

Absolutely nothing, there’s nothing to not like. It’s an absolutely charming pub.

We visited as was attending a wedding just down the road and we are so glad we decided to stay here. Staff were incredible and really friendly. Happy to help with anything and give recommendations for the local area. Nothing was too much and would happily go the extra mile. This included the bartenders, chefs, housekeeping and managers. Everyone was passionate about working there and you could tell they all love their jobs. Food was delicious as well and really good portion sizes for the price. Thankyou all so much!

Wish I could have stayed longer!

First of all, everything is so clean, it's the first thing I tend to look for when staying in hotels. The five bells was exceptional I must say. I found the bed very comfortable. The staff so helpful and friendly lots going on in the bar a real family fill to the bar area. A nice welcome even from the locals. I will most definitely be staying again. I have already recommended The five bells to friends and family. I look forward to my next stay.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Parking set aside for us which was helpful for when we arrived. Comfortable clean rooms, pub had a pleasant and welcoming family atmosphere. Great breakfast. Pancakes available as well as the usual cooked breakfast you’d expect. Very tasty! Quiet location so a good nights sleep was possible.

Less convenient having no en-suite with one room but as we had exclusive use of the adjacent bathroom it wasn’t a problem.

We wanted to stay in a good, comfortable country pub and this what the Five Bells is. The landlady and all her staff were very friendly and helpful at all times, Breakfast choice was OK and well cooked but presentation varied. The dinner menu and quality of food was very good. Choice of real ales excellent.

Toast sometimes placed under the fried breakfast.

Very welcoming & friendly staff . Very comfortable clean room. With tea & coffee kettle aswell. Lovely atmosphere & restaurant. Beautiful old building in a beautiful village. Although we didn’t have much time to look around the village what we saw was great . Near to shops & fish & chips & Chinese take away . And free parking right outside the door. We had to leave early to get the ferry to Calais so we were given a lunch bag in which we could choose what sandwich we would like .a chocolate bar. Bag of crisps. An Apple & a can of drink. Which was left outside our door at 6am when we woke up . Which as great no hanging around waiting for check out ect . Plus only 30 minutes on the docks . Very easy to find . Will definitely stay again .

There was nothing to dislike only that our stay was to short due to our travel schedule.

lovely helpful greeting on arrival, shown around and everything explained. Ate in restaurant had steak, was very good. Landlady is super helpful and super welcoming. breakfast was really tasty and good.

The furniture in the room was very dated, and our room was quite cold. The bed was comfy. The shower was good as well.

We felt very welcome from the start. The owner and staff were friendly, helpful, and quick to respond to our needs. The place has a lovely historic charm – staying in this old pub felt special and cozy. The food was delicious and clearly made with care. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it!
