Welcome

The Five Bells Inn is a characterful country pub located a stone’s throw from the Suffolk village of Wrentham and within easy reach of Southwold.

With its open fires and wooden beams, it’s a cosy place to enjoy the finest Suffolk beers and also delicious home-cooked, locally sourced food.

We have 3 recently refurbished en-suite rooms situated adjacent to the main pub building. At the back of the pub, there is a 2.5 acre field with a caravan site (mostly seasonal pitches) with access to showers, waste disposal and wc facilities. There’s also a large pub garden with benches and plenty of room for children to play. Families and dogs are welcome. All of our rooms are dog-friendly.
