As directed by fellow travellers on Trip Advisor we asked for the Princess Caroline room for our one night stay - absolutely beautiful as previously described! Wonderfully comfortable bed with luxurious sheets, lovely view of the pier, beautifully furnished. Small bathroom was fine, shower good with lovely fluffy towels - very important! We were staying here overnight as we were... More

This spotlessly clean guest house is in a prime location. Nothing was too much trouble for the friendly owners/staff who catered for our every need. As grandparents with 10 yr old grand-daughter we much appreciated the use of the large comfortable lounge (with a 1st floor view) with endless supply of coffee / snacks most evenings as weather freezing cold....

A very charming and elegant room, excellent bed and a delicious breakfast. The people who we had contact with were very helpful and friendly, the possibility for my husband to communicate in French was a great plus. "We'll be back" as the saying goes !

The Hotel is located right next to the main shopping street and shopping center, a few meters from the sea and the promenade, ideal if you want to go running in the evening after a long day of work. I felt very welcome and was treated like an important guest, you can really see that they care about their guests.... More

Very attractive building nicely decorated, good location, great facilities- towels, toiletries, tea and coffee and free wifi. Comfortable bed and very clean. Best bits were the really friendly and helpful staff and the breakfast buffet, which was excellent. Lovely place to stay.

Well, I'm not sure what Pier View specialises in, exactly... certainly not comfort or nice decor... The word is often used to describe a property in the independent section... More

My wife and I have friends who live nearby and we have stayed 3 times in Southend, each time at Pier View.

Weekend in Southend – cold, wet, bleak however staying at the Pier View was a sunny experience. As the name suggests the Guest House has views of the Pier (stayed in the Pier View Room) The Pier view is heritage listed (Grade 2) and its heritage is lovingly maintained, it’s cozy, comfortable, immaculately spotless and welcoming , it holds prime...
