The Old Borough Arms

In a really good location for a visit to Rye

Not a criticism of the old borough arms but we visited in a heatwave and our room was very hot.

The location could not have been better. We were right in the heart of Rye, at the corner of Mermaid and High Street. Even short evening strolls from there - and the establishment itself - gave us epic glimpses into history, beauty and story. The room was very comfortable, with good light and views, and easy access to the bar/breakfast room. We appreciated the side chairs and table by the window. Most of all, the staff was amazing. Not only were they helpful and kind, they immediately made us feel at home and like much-welcomed guests of an Old Borough Arms family. They were warm, generous, fun and funny, informative and interesting, and went far above and beyond to help us out.

Loved the friendly service and breakfast! Such a central location made everything easy and we were pleasantly surprised by how calm and quiet things at night were. Rooms were clean and cosy.

The pillow options in our opinion were too limited- there is such a thing as an uncomfortably large and bulky pillow! Please offer a menu :)

Quirky and old with great character

Never stayed anywhere with so much door noise , was woken early as when exit door was opened yet slammed shut , this appears to be the theme throughout as the noise from doors effected the stay
