    The Five Bells is fantastic. Great food, and a lovely room. The only issue we found that in room number 3 the bed has a foot board. I’m 5ft 10 and the whole night my feet were squished up against it. If I turned to lay diagonal I would be all over my partners side of the bed. Add to this that there’s a green fire exit sign that lights up above the door and this shines light into the room. Apart from the sleep the rest of the stay was great!

    Breakfast tasted great. There was a wide choice off food on offer from fresh fruit to pancakes. The staff were helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble.

    We had our evening meal in the pub, it was a nice relaxing atmosphere were again the staff where friendly and helpful. The only thing I felt was that the menu was very restricted with not alot of choice.

    9JanetPosted on: 3-22-2025

    Everything was very good, choice of food, service, dog friendly, pleasant environment

    The bed was a bit uncomfortable for me

    10AngiePosted on: 3-15-2025

    The accommodation was excellent. Clean, tidy and adjacent to the pub. The pub was lovely. Very friendly staff. Great food and good prices. We will definately be back.

    9PennyPosted on: 3-13-2025

    Excellent location, comfortable and clean, staff very attentive and breakfast was delicious

    Nothing, only thing we found was the TV was on a funny angle so we couldn’t watch it whilst both sitting on the bed.

    The property was very good value for money. We had excellent service throughout from our initial greeting to checkout. The staff at reception/ waiting staff and cleaning staff were all very friendly. The food generally was of good quality and well presented. We enjoyed the breakfasts. My wife had chilli prawn skewers which were disappointing and expensive. The ret of the food both for dinners and breakfasts was excellent. We had the special deal for 2 steak pie, chips and peas. This was very good.The room was excellent. It was very nicely decorated, had a very comfortable bed and was warm. The heating was excellent. The bathroom was good and the shower in particular was good. One small point is that there was a lot of light in the room at night. I understand the need for emergency green lighting, but there was a lot of light coming from outside the door until the early hours when it was switched off. I think this could be improved.Other than that everything about our stay was excellent.We would definitely like to return!

    As above 1 meal was disappointing and the light from outside the room at night could have been shielded better.

    Beautiful location, great price, beautiful pub and food. Just love this part of Suffolk.

    Nothing all good.

    9IanPosted on: 2-22-2025

    It was lovely and convenient. The staff was great, and it was less hassle than other hotels or B&Bs. The Breakfasts were fabulous and freshly cooked. The car park was ample, and you could park close to your room - it even has an electric car charging point. They have fabulous lunch and evening menus. Even if you don't stay it is worth going for the food.

    There was a bright green LED in the self-maintained emergency light over the door which didn't help when you were used to it being pitch black to get off to sleep. Considering that was the only little moan it is pretty insignificant compared to the wonderful facilities they have.

    A lovely traditional pub with a friendly welcome and good food and beer. The rooms are light and airy, and comfortable. Good breakfast. Great location for the coast and walks around the area. They even allow you to charge your EV for free, which is very generous.

    10MichaelPosted on: 2-18-2025

    Great location, nice staff, comfortable and lovely Breakfast.

    Nothing to dislike

    8BazzaPosted on: 2-17-2025

    The staff were exceptional being very welcoming attentive and helpful. The room was in a separate building to the main Pub just to the front across the car park so no noise from the pub, the air conditioners or coolers. It was sufficiently back from the main road so little or no road noise. The room itself was clean and had the facilities you would expect. The pub had a restaurant serving very good food which was served on hot plates which meant the food was also hot when served which is more than you can say about other rival establishments. The breakfast menu did not include a European selection of Croissants sweet pastries Ham etc (after all we're in England) but did have the usual cereals yogurts juices and toast. The menu for breakfast was comprehensive with the cereals and cooked food. Overall my wife and I had a lovely stay and would consider returning in the future.

    I wouldn't say this was a dislike but the bed mattress was a little firm for me and the external door to the room had seen better days. It should be replaced as it is rotten at the bottom and so filling where there is rotten wood before repainting is not a long term solution. There is no wardrobe in the room to hang clothes, only a rail close to the door which means if you don't close the blind to the door anyone passing can see your clothes and in the room in general. There also seems to be a possible security problem as an intruder could smash one of the glass panels reach in and unlock the door. Adnams should perhaps consider changing the external door with higher glass panels.

    Friendly & helpful staff. Great breakfast.

    Smallest detail - possibly more lights in Room 1 would help.
