to get started.

Staff and management were extremely friendly and helpful. For the day I had to make a very early start before the scheduled breakfast time staff offered unprompted to give me a packed meal of (delicious) ham sandwiches and a drink which was left out for me to take with me, very welcome. The full English breakfast next day was what I had come to expect, just as delicious!

Andrew, United Kingdom

Lovely traditional village pub with a wonderfully friendly and helpful landlady and staff. Excellent breakfasts and a delicious evening meal.

Elizabeth, United Kingdom

Lovely location very friendly staff made you feel very comfortable and welcome.

Emma, United Kingdom

Perfect for sightseeing around the area, excellent staff, looked after from the moment we booked in to check out, even though over a village pub, not at all disturbed. Would highly recommend a stay at this wonderful little find.

Annette, United Kingdom

The room was clean and comfy, bathroom was modern with a good shower but hand basin was very low almost like it was meant for a child to use. The breakfast was good quality and the landlady was very helpful. We had dinner one evening with family, which was enjoyed by everyone. Would recommend for a short stay.

John, United Kingdom

The staff were exceptionally helpful , food was very good and rooms comfortable.

Christopher, United Kingdom

On the day we checked in the staff were so welcoming and friendly we knew we came to the right place. We were only there for a wedding, it was also our first time at Sandwich so I was a little worried but due to friendly environment my worries didn’t last. The room were spacious and very clean. Both the owner Mary and Connor were great with taxi information, how to get to the wedding venue and made delicious English Breakfast. Very grateful for their hospitality and would definitely visit again!

would have prefered not to have eaten breakfast in the pub bar. I thought ensuite was included was disappointed to find not. Also was awoken at 4am by the sound of a shower running somewhere in the accomodation for ages and toilets flushing.
Breakfast was great , The staff were spot on!

“Well worth searching out the Five Bells at Eastry for a warm and relaxing stay away.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
The only issue that I had is that I did not get on well with the free wi-fi, but while I would normally have moaned about this at other hotels, at the Five Bells I had such a good stay it didn't seem that important!
The Five Bells at Eastry is somewhere that I would not have gone to if not by recommendation and I now recommend this very warm and friendly location to others that want to stay in the area. Every member of staff was welcoming from the first time I opened their door to when I left a couple of days later. This type of genuine customer care is sadly lacking in many places and that is why I so liked my stay at the Five Bells.
