    Be aware that there is live music on a Friday night. It was not a problem for us though.

    This was our second visit to the White Horse. The staff are welcoming, friendly and so kind to our dog! Good breakfast included- great value.

    It would’ve been nice to have water in the room. We asked downstairs at the bar and was given a jug to take up. The only table in the room could’ve been bigger, it has the coffee machine and hot drinks tray and a vanity mirror but it can do one or the other, it’s not big enough for both. When getting ready in the evening, the room lights are very cosy, but not great for drying your hair or doing make up. The mastic and tiles around the bath need a good bleaching .

    Great location, if you have plans for the centre of Maldon. Lovely staff, especially Meg, who went out of her way to make sure we had a nice stay. Plenty of hot drinks choice in the room. Bed was clean and comfortable . Breakfast was good. Lovely view of the church from our window.

    Unfortunately, there was noise from the bar below but that is inevitable in a high street pub location.

    Really cosy duvets! Tasty full English breakfast included. Our small dog was made very welcome by the friendly staff.

    I left my charger in the room, I know I definitely left it there because I had it ready to go. When I got home and phoned up to put it aside for me to collect it had miraculously gone missing... I know it was the cleaner. As a 'good will' they said they had a spare one for me to collect so I drove all the way back for them to give me a broken charger (more likely the lady's charger she had exchanged with mine) 😆 Anyway the room was lovely and clean and the breakfast was beautiful but the prices were too steep for me to dine in the pub for dinner.

    Love the little extra touches in the room like the robes and the lovely handwash. The small radiator was perfect for keeping my room toastie. Loved the menu in the pub and the hot chocolate was to die for but the prices were a bit steep.

    The room we stayed in has two creaky floorboards. We were a bit worried about disturbing others while walking around. However it was a stunning room and we had worked out which floorboards creaked so we had fun trying to avoid them. From the start of the boards it's the 7th and 9th floorboard starting from the door to the window. My son loved his stay. And I enjoyed myself too.

    Honestly it was wonderful, the staff were lovely and kept my key for me so I didn't lose it while outside. My son loves to travel so I asked if they could write him a note as a keepsake and they successfully managed. It's now in the journal of his travels as is a polaroid of the white horse. Identical to the one he gave the staff. The staff were so warm and kind. It made his experience so enjoyable and we will definitely visit again.

    Music from bar beneath my room. Light from outside street shone around curtains and floor boards were very creaky.

    Shower was hot, plenty of fluffy white towels, toiletries, bath robes, tea/coffee with biscuits in room. Nicely decorated very comfortable bed. Free plentiful breakfast was welcoming. Very comfortable stay and would definitely stay again if needed accommodation in Maldon. Great value and comfort for price.

    Some of the hotel prices are a little high and don't include or have the facilities to offer a cooked breakfast. The amount of through traffic is quite busy on a Saturday. Not much live music to be found anywhere on a Saturday night in the bars. Well I couldn't find any.

    The area is lovely, plenty of places to eat and drink during the day coffee shops, bars. Beautiful restaurants in the area and the food in them is wonderful. Promenade Park is just up the road where you can take a walk by the river, stop for a coffee or a bite to eat. There is plenty to enjoy in Maldon.

    Nothing comes to mind.

    The White Horse is an amazing building. Obviously centuries old but sympathetically fitted out so as not to change the character. Full of charm!
