"Comfortable hotel near to the White Hart wedding venue."
On arrival we was quickly shown to our room and was surprised to learn that we had been upgraded to an en suite room. The room was clean and had coffee and tea making facilities as well as a small flat screen TV. The bathroom was a little on the small side but was more than adequate for our needs. The double bed was smaller than we are used to but was comfortable and we had a good nights sleep. Read less

"Amazingly Disgusting"
We had two rooms booked - one single and one double (but they only had a twin). Both rooms had severe cleanliness problems, they are uncomfortable, they smell (as all the fried cooking smells are pumped into the guest area from the kitchen). The breakfast is six pounds per person which for what you get is massively overpriced (the vegetarian option is only a couple of hash browns). We were told that due to its location it commands London prices - but can we also have London quality as well! Read less
Likes:
Leaving to have a clean shower at home. I must say though that the staff did put on a brave face to the awful accommodation etc and were remarkably friendly.
Dislikes:
As above - avoid staying here at all costs

The Waggon & Horses is a family owned country pub hotel restaurant in North Essex close to the Suffolk county border half way between Colchester and Cambridge near to Halstead, Braintree, Sudbury and Haverhill. A good stopping off place for Stansted Airport, Constable Country and Hedingham Castle. Colchester, Britain's oldest recorded town, is only 20 miles away and the University City of Cambridge only 30 miles. The Norman Keep built in 1140 at Castle Hedingham is only 2 miles away.
The Waggon & Horses is a handsome XVIth century inn standing on the main road at Great Yeldham close to the Essex/Suffolk border. We are a freehouse featured in the CAMRA Best Beer Guide.
The restaurant is open every day from 12-2 pm and 7-9pm; all day on Sundays. Prices are very reasonable and there are a variety of bar snacks available.
The host is Mike Shiffner who claims to be the best looking landlord in North Essex.
