We arrived on Saturday morning with our room being cleaned ( we were very early ) this was not a probelm as the young girl who works there showed us which room we were in and said she would put our bags in the room when it was finished, which she did. Had the pleasure of meeting Sarah( owner )... more

The Old Borough Arms is a wonderful hotel in a beautiful location. We had a wonderful weekend, the management were very welcoming, friendly and their service provided was outstanding. The breakfasts were freshly made from local produce and were presented very well (the bacon was lovely). All the rooms were well equiped, comfortable and the standards of cleanliness were very... more

We have just stayed at the old borough arms for one night as part of my best friends birthday celebrations, I booked two days earlier and secured a small discount on the internet quoted price, Ian (the manager) explained that the room was 'cosy' and recently refurbished. We checked in (Ian and Sarah were quite lovely, and their children delightful)... more

It's never great to arrive at a hotel in pouring rain to be told that the nearest parking is 600 yards away - at £3 a day - or 50 yards away at £6 a day IF there is a space. Not a great start. The room was pleasant but lacking in working lightbulbs, there were instructions for the radio... more

We don't have parking and usually this is mentioned when the booking is made.The nearest car park is, as stated opposite the Old Borough Arms 50 yards away. A few minutes walk away is the station car park which is £1 for the whole day. It is true that a lightbulb had blown and the clock radio had gone missing...

After researching some B&B's in Rye, The Old Borough Arms ticked all the boxes for me. Modern, stylish, contemporary design in a great location with warm hosts. I made the booking by phone, and the gentleman who took the booking told me that I was getting Room 7, which I was happy with as I had read a review on... more

It's true that there was a mix up with this booking as we had moved the rooms around that weekend. We were fully booked then had cancellations and the diary got a little bit confused. It's a shame that the other rooms were not to their liking but it is worth pointing out that all of the rooms mentioned have...

I enjoyed my stay here over the weekend. We were a group of 2 couples. We had a larger room and our friends had a smaller room - both were on the ground floor - so no stairs to climb on the way back from the pub late at night. Both rooms were nicely decorated, clean and had pretty much... more

I had no idea we were staying at the Old Borough Arms as my boyfriend was taking me for a surprise weekend getaway. We arrived into Rye from London around 9 pm on a Friday night and got a bit lost trying to find the hotel in our car, but Ian very kindly stayed with me on the phone and... more

We discovered The Old Borough Arms by accident when we could'nt extend our stay at another B&B - and thank goodness we did! We stayed in room 7 and it's the loveliest room I've ever stayed in. The decor is superb and every little detail is immaculate. The ensuite shower room is spottlessly clean and the shower is amazing. Even... more

There's a long way to go before this hotel reaches its true potential. The owners are friendly, the rooms are clean, if on the small side, and the bed was comfortable. It's a higgledy-piggledy place, perched on a corner of three roads just off the main street in Rye. There are three levels, all accessed by different doors, and one... more
