It was a lovely location and friendly staff and locals, who were easy to talk to and very engaging.

Home away from home vibes

We've have never stayed somewhere that's made us feel more welcome. The food is good. The staff are lovely and go well out of their way to help and make you feel at home. The locals are friendly. What more could you want?

Lovely Olde World stopover.

Lovely olde world pub-restaurant. Excellent food, both breakfasts and evening meals.This is a real heart of the community pub, with lots going on, including a Petanque match, when we were there. Check-in at the bar was easy. The service was very friendly and excellent throughout. A well stocked bar, including a local beer, 'Gem' by name and 'Gem' by nature. The en-suite double room was clean and comfortablebut you are better off relaxing in the bars downstairs, where there was two dining lounges and a dedicated sports TV room.Sitiuated in the historic, lovely village of Eastry, just over 10 miles from Dover.

Warm welcome at the Five Bells

I received a warm welcome throughout my two day stay; service was consistently excellent and friendly. My room (the family room) was extremely spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean, equipped with everything I needed. I heartily recommend.

Fantastic hotel, very friendly staff. Understanding owners who bent over backwards to accommodate my changing dates due to work commitments.

A pleasant stay.

A very pleasant stay. Mary was lovely, and so was the service in the restaurant. The meal lacked seasoning and sauce, and the fries were undercooked. The next morning at breakfast, the brown bread was missing. It's a shame, but it doesn't spoil the overall impression too much.

Visiting Dover

Another room found on the fly based on reviews and was a great find! Room was clean and comfortable. And although the bathroom was shared, they provide robes for your comfort. Breakfast is included & was cooked perfectly! Staff is friendly. Recommend staying here if you’re sightseeing around the Dover area.

Excellent pub and accommodation

Accommodation, food, wine choice, staff were all excellent. Our room met our requirements. One small thing that we appreciated was that the bottom sash window had not been painted shut like so many others we've visted. Eastry is an excellent place to park your car and use public transport to visit Deal, Sandwich, Dover and Canterbury relieving the need to drive and find parking

Friendly pub, cosy room

Check in was professional and friendly, bar staff showed me my room and explained everything well. Room and bathroom are tired, but adequate. The bed was really comfortable. Overall cosy room. Pub is nice with lots of friendly locals and tourists. I stayed on curry night which was greay value for money. Nice home made style curries. Only shame was no TNT sports to watch the football. In the morning breakfast was a good english breakfast. Only bug bear was the weak coffee. I had a flat white the evening before and it was dish water from a machine. I would certainly stay again, food was good and staff are great.

Convenient for Dover

We stayed at The Five Bells as a last minute arrangement to avoid queues at Dover Ferry Terminal. It was a great choice, easy access to Dover and a really warm welcome from the staff and landlady. We had a nice evening meal and breakfast too.

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.
William, 1-night trip

Lovely, friendly welcome and service. A bit faded glory in our bedroom with uneven flooring. We did find the separate bathroom a bit inconvenient during the night. Otherwise good food and good value.

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.
Lester, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Basic accommodation

Very basic accommodation.Bed was not very comfortable. Duvet too small so kept on falling off in the night.Bathroom was a short walk down the hall which is not great late a night. I usually do my homework on places to stay when I am working away from home but this got past me. I received an invitation to review the place before the Hotels.com review invitation came through and received a phone call from the owner to question my review and offering an upgrade the next time I stayed. Never experienced that before.
