The room was beautiful with an amazing view of the sea. We had all the amenities we needed, plus some fun ones such as a record player and vintage records. The bed was very comfortable, so we slept really well. Breakfast was delicious.

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.

Lovely new bathroom and tea and coffee and fridge in the room. Loads of sockets, very handy! The location brilliant, right by the sea. Breakfast included and delicious. Buffet style, plenty to choose from also eggs and extras cooked fresh to order. The two men that run the hotel are charming, chatty, friendly super welcoming and helpful.
