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.
