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.

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.
