We enjoyed our stay here at the five bells. The staff were absolutely lovely, the room was beautiful and the food was the best we had in a long time. We only didn’t give an excellent score as our room was on the noisy side (though if you’re up late enjoying the pub it is probably not an issue). Washing machine waking us up at 7.30am was not ideal though as the whole bed and chandelier vibrated! Thanks for a great stay otherwise.

Fantastic from the moment you pull up outside, you simply say to yourself I hope this turns out to be as good as it looks. Then as you walk through the door you are greeted by two extremely tentative ladies who make you feel very welcome.
The room, the evening meal and the breakfast were all of the best quality.
Will definitely use this place again, as part of our road trips into France.

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 👍

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.

A Perfectly Relaxing Stay with Thoughtful Touches

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.

The Five Bells is a charming Inn in an idyllic setting. It lived up to all expectations and the exceptional facilities and staff made our two night stay very memorable. The breakfast included in the price was absolutely fantastic and so filling we didn’t need to eat anything for lunch! The room was beautifully quirky with an open fire at the foot of the bed and a large bath tub next to it. There were tea and coffee making facilities and also a small decanter of port and some local fudge to welcome us, on arrival. I would suggest, for longer stays, taking a few hangers for your clothes as there were only two available to use (although I’m sure if we’d asked, they would have provided us with some extras). The staff were wonderful and went above and beyond to make our stay special, especially Sonia who checked us in and gave us lots of ideas about how to plan our day. The room we had was over the bar area and so there was a little bit of noise but nothing excessive. If you wanted them, there were ear plugs provided but I found it added to the charm and made it feel very cosy. Altogether, a wonderful historic place to stay and I would not hesitate recommending The Five Bells Inn to family and friends.

It’s exquisite, superb food, staff are unbelievable, drink range is great, but the rooms, they are u rivaled anywhere we have stayed for both comfort and uniqueness. We stayed here through chance, but we will definitely be back to spend the weekend and explore the local area. Book here, don’t look anywhere else, it’s fantastic!

Great stay in a lovely part of Kent.

My wife and I spent the night with our dog and had an amazing time. Staff, pub, food and breakfast all amazing. Great walks near by and some great local wine. It was first class. Our only “small” observation was the bed in the Goulding was a little small and a bit squeaky. Beds are always a personal thing. All in all, well worth a stay…it’s lovely.

Great pub!

Great food and choice of drinks. Room was lovely, although it needed a thinner quilt, as it was far too hot. A bit disappointed that breakfast was not served until 9.00 am, although they did offer me a take away hamper. This was a business trip so I could not hang around for breakfast. I would definitely stay again though.
