The Five Bells, Eastry

Classic local, in a lovely village. 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.

All good but no Wi-Fi 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.

Fantastic stay! 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.

Exellent Accommodation First Class Staff. Superb well run pub great helpful staff good food and drinks very clean and comfortable bed good Wi-Fi.

Would we stay here again? - Yes 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.

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
