    We went to a show at the Cliffs Pavilion and our friends had booked us into the Ilfracombe House Hotel via Booking.com some months before. I requested a room with a walk in shower, which we were given, and the room was excellent (Room 9). Breakfast was great, buffet style but…

    Excellent Small Hotel
    What a lovely smaller hotel. I will no longer stay in the large chain hotels when next visiting Southend. The rooms were very modern, clean, and well-furnished - and importantly with plenty of space. Bathrooms very modern and new. But above all, the service was brilliant. From…

    Difficult to get a hotel with parking in Southend near Leigh and I hate having to walk with luggage and laptops. Staff were great parking is tight but as long as you don’t mind leaving your keys they sort it out. Rooms are a little dated but it’s all clean and windows open. …

    My father and I will be staying with you soon will payment be made when we arrive on the day
    Hi Lee, we don’t take payments in advance but we do pre-authorise the card provided to make sure is valid and has sufficient funds to cover your stay. Pre-authorisations are normally done within a week before date of arrival. You will still have to pay as normal the full balance on arrival. Many thanks and hope this has answered your question.

    what time is breakfast in the morning,and can we book evening meals when we stay
    Hi Lee, I'm sorry I had not seen this on Tripadvisor, I could've replied earlier. Breakfast is served between 7am-10.30am on week days and 8.00am-10.30am on weekends. Dinner between 6.00-9.00pm every day and can be ordered at the table or leave a card at reception after breakfast if you're eating in that evening. Many thanks, Bertie, Hotel Manager
