Had to stay here recently as everywhere else was fully booked. We have stayed in many establishments in the area so had a fairly good idea what to expect, but unfortunately this did not live up to what we have come to expect from guest houses and hotels in the locality. The room was large & had spectacular sea views,... More

We arrived late on saturday evening, just before the snow arrived, the view from our cosy warm bedroom on the first floor out onto the beach the following morning was amazing. The breakfast was not rushed and Ellenor was happy to cook us whatever we fancied. The rooms are spotless, and warm, the finishings and bedding are all of high... More

This guest house is in a great location if you want to be close to the sea away from the neon lights and buzzing arcades of Southend, though within a 15-20 minutes walking distance to them. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our room which was the sea-facing ground floor room, which at first appeared lovely. It was spacious,... More
