The Old Borough Arms

Whilst the establishment overall looked fine, and may well deserve it's good reviews if you are staying on upper floors, my particular room on the ground floor, overlooking carport/ bins was not great. It was clean, but at the end of a dark, damp corridor. I wasn't shown to room, didn't find light switch initially (in common with 2 other guests I met) and nearly fell down the steps first time. Whilst the room didn't smell quite a bad as the hall, there was a damp- smelling bathroom. I heard scratching noises at night- disconcerting! The furniture was fine, but overall paintwork etc a bit tired and needed refresh. The kettle lead was very short, and so difficult to balance on table without being pulled down by extension. I think this particular room should not be let out at least until the damp smell is sorted out. Sadly disappointing.

Lovely room, good location and friendly staff.

Nothing!

A very warm and friendly team run this guesthouse. Their warmth permeates through everything about the place. The bed was very comfortable with lovely linen. Our room was small but well equipped with everything you could need. We arrived very late on the first day (after 8pm check in time) but that was no problem and they emailed me with helpful self check in instructions in advance. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed tucking into the full vegetarian breakfast.

Although clean and comfortable, bathrooms are a little dated and showing some signs of wear. But that doesn’t detract from an all round excellent stay.

Excellent breakfast on Sunday and an excellent bacon and egg nap on Monday morning
