Great stay with lovely hosts

My new favourite spot to stay in Southend. Extremely comfortable rooms and facilities and the hosts felt like extended family. The cleanliness and room presentation was beyond expectations and breakfast was one of the best I've had in recent memory.

Room with a view

The couple running this guesthouse make every effort to ensure you have an amazing stay. The room we stayed in was well proportioned, with large shower room, and balcony with sea view. There were all the ‘products’ you could want, and all of very high quality. The breakfast is lovingly cooked presented by Jo. She does the best poached eggs, and we had them served in a variety of ways.

Great location, Buzz was very friendly and helpful. Room was great, bed huge but a bit too hard for us. Big bathroom too. Nice breakfast, no fry ups, nice to have something different for a change. Parked free outside but a fight for a space

Beautiful B&B

We booked a short stay while visiting the Cliffs Pavillion Theatre. As soon as you arrive and see how pretty, well decorated and clean and tidy the place is, you understand why it is so highly rated and reviewed. The view was excellent and there was very little road noise, the room was beautifull and they have thought of everything you could need. We loved the breakfast in the morning and Jo and Buzz were wonderful throughout! We look forward to staying again and can thoroughly recommend it to others.

Lovely B&B and Brilliant Hosts!

Jo and Buzz were brilliant! I was coming in from Heathrow and got delayed due to the traffic and bad weather, but Jo and Buzz were very patient and waited for me to check-in. The solo room I booked was adequate for one person. However, the shower was tiny even for an Asian woman like me, could hardly scrub my back 😅

A Beautiful Little Hotel

The Beaches hotel was a really good find. It was beautifully decorated and we wanted for nothing. Jo,Buzz and all the staff were extremely friendly and breakfast was amazing. The rooms were beautiful and well equipped. The parking was a problem as although it was free on street parking,

We had an amazing stay at Beaches. The grounds and house are impeccable, with lovely interiors. There are so many thoughtful details throughout the property, and Buzz and Jo were responsive, kind, and personable. The area is close enough to walk to the main part of town, but we loved the quiet and calmer street, as well as the dining options. We will be back!

What a fantastic find! Such a lovely Guest House. So much attention to detail - environmentally aware, very clean and fresh, lovely friendly staff. The toiletries were gorgeous - I particularly loved that the packaging was printed using natural products. And, breakfast was beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious, in a beautiful, bright breakfast room and garden. Excellent all round. I can't wait to go back.
