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.

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.

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.

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.
