Cosy B&B with friendly and welcoming staff
Great B&B with a nice location in the middle of Rye. Nice restaurants within walking distance and easy to find a parking place even if B&B does not offer such. Room was a bit tiny but nicely decorated and with comfortable beds. Breakfast was very nice and staff was very friendly.

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!

Great spot to stay in Rye
Great location right next to Mermaid St and really friendly service. Really appreciated being able to have breakfast from the Mermaid Cafe with 10% off as guests of the inn. The only thing was that the walls are quite thin being a historical establishment so you can hear things going on outside the room. Be sure to pack earplugs if you’re a light sleeper!

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.

Friendliest host and comfiest beds!
Sarah is an incredible host! She was accommodating for our evening check in and helped arrange babysitting. Traveling with two toddlers isn't easy, but she was so helpful and made us feel right at home. I'll miss their comfortable bed and luxurious bedding. The kids loved bubble baths in the tub. The Tilling Suite was perfect for our family of 4 and a friend who joined.
