Great location a few steps away from the beach. Bus stop into town just around the corner. Close to several places to eat and drink. Lovely clean room - spotless - and tea coffee and milk left in the room too along with the necessary bathroom bits. The host Zara was very helpful and had left nothing to chance. Would happily stay here again - recommended.

Situated on Eastern Esplanade, overlooking Southend Beach, Pebbles Guest House offers wonderful sea views and cooked breakfasts. There is free parking, free Wi-Fi and a sun terrace.

Set in a Victorian building, the elegant rooms at Pebbles each have a private bathroom. All rooms feature a TV and hairdryer, and many rooms have scenic views across the Thames Estuary.

Loved the full English breakfast; very clean room facing the backyard. Location across the street from the water, about a 20-minute walk to High Street and the central part of town, a few local pubs nearby. Far enough from the touristy stuff that the immediate vicinity was quiet. Very friendly owner was home when I arrived slightly before check-in, and she let me in early as the room was ready. The room had a 3-ring binder with local information and suggestions of things to do; I followed one suggestion to walk to Leigh-on-Sea, described as "an energetic walk of an hour", turned out to be closer to 12 km (2+ hours), but was still a lovely walk that I never would have known about had it not been in her book.

    Great host and easy communication, the bed was big and comfy and the room looked cozy. The neighbourhood is super quiet and it's a short walk to the bus stops that will take you to the city center or the airpot.
