Weekend away in lovely Rye
Our stay in Rye was so enjoyable. We felt very welcomed. The hosts were helpful & accomodating (allowing us to check in early). The rooms were clean and comfortable, the restaurant serves delicious food, and the accommodation is centrally located in beautiful corner of Rye. Highly recommended!

Restful, comfortable base to explore from
Owner was very warm and friendly- very enthusiastic welcome and looked after us very well indeed. Breakfast was mega and so good- didn't need lunch! The bed was one of the best ever and very difficult to get out of, even for breakfast. If we had a small criticism it would that the room could do with a lick of paint and some of the equipment needs updating.

Really lovely
We had a pleasant stay. The room was very nice and everyone who works there is really lovely and helpful. Unfortunately, the room where we stayed was right next to the front door and suffered from lots of noise. The guests coming in and out were banging the stubborn door until late at night and street noise was also loud. I can imagine not all rooms have this issue, so I’d recommend Old Borough Arms, but maybe not room 1.

6/10 Good

Single gazed windows suffer from lots of internal condensation during outer cool days. Lower half of the windows are covered in dense frosting film preventing any view through them. The noise from the light traffic can be heard inside. Water flushing/shower and guest noise from other rooms does enter the room on the middle of the three floors.

Quirky hotel
This hotel is quirky and quaint. I was staying in Room 8 which was on the ground floor. The room was compact and had all the fittings you might expect. Some drawers, dressing table, TV and coat hooks, but no wardrobe. Quite a nice quirky mirror above the dressing table. While it looked pleasant, it did feel a bit in need of modernizing. The en suite, however, felt very new. The room was quite dark as it backed onto the car port so really didn't have a view nor got much direct light. I didn't have food there, but the cafe looked pleasant. I particularly liked that the hotel building includes a section of the old town wall built in the 14th century. The location is very convenient for all of Rye, and very near some pubs and restaurants.
