Had a really lovely stay at The Old Borough Arms. Lovely hosts who were really welcoming. Made us a great breakfast that set us up for a days wondering around the town and area. Room was very comfortable, warm and well equipped.

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.
