Recommend the 5 Bells and their team very highly. Both relaxed and very professional, from the minute I checked in to a great breakfast. I was en route to the channel tunnel. If you’re doing the same stay here, seriously.

Fantastic from the moment you pull up outside, you simply say to yourself I hope this turns out to be as good as it looks. Then as you walk through the door you are greeted by two extremely tentative ladies who make you feel very welcome. The room, the evening meal and the breakfast were all of the best quality. Will definitely use this place again, as part of our road trips into France. 10/10 👍👍❤️
