The Five Bells

Nice hotel, 5 rooms, good beds, very friendly staff (really!), and fabulous full English breakfast! Even got hot water for our own teabags (daughter loves strawberry tea). Coffee pots are beautiful, and coffee is good. The outside terrace and tables need some repairs. But as it was raining, we didn't mind. Cannot rate dinner food as we arrived late due to loads of tailbacks to Dover. Ideal for a night before taking the ferry.

Following a funeral at Ringwould church, one of the mourners knocked on the door of this pub, which, it being a wet weekday lunchtime, was shut, and the landlord opened it especially for us, made us very welcome and gave us excellent service in this old, atmospheric and very comfortable pub. It is conveniently situated midway between Dover and Deal, close to the main road, and also provides accommodation. I asked the landlord if it was normal for a closed pub to open on request. He thought not! Highly recommended.

Little break for us on arrival we really was made to feel welcome , the. Lovely couple made us feel so welcome and gave us information about the area , we stayed for dinner which was really lovely we then decided to stay for Sunday lunch and that was delicious very fresh and home made . Thank you guys and to all the staff your made our break !!
