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.

Located on the seafront at Southend-On-Sea, with views of The Thames Estuary, Camelia Hotel is just one mile from Southend on Sea. It has good food, free Wi-Fi and free parking.

The train station is only 5 minutes away and the airport is reachable in less than 15 minutes. London is a 45 minute drive away.

I stayed in a single room which had a double bed. The room was small which I knew beforehand but more than adequate for one person. I had a sea view which was not expected but very nice. The room was clean and pleasant to be in.

    The location was fab, a 15-minute walk from the station. There are loads of lovely coffee shops and cafes very close by. The host responded within seconds, and communication was great. The apartment was lovely, it was super cute and felt like a home. It had everything I needed, the decor was modern and there was a massive outdoor space. - Loved the giant mirror and the breakfast bar. The bed was super comfy, and I had a great night's sleep. Really good value for money.

    First rate check-in: I arranged to arrive early and this was no problem. The breakfast was high quality, varied and cooked to order. The location on the sea front was ideal and with a good bus service into the city centre.

    Brilliant location, smart clean and modern, beautifully presented quality breakfast. We were upgraded to a sea view executive room which was a real treat. Bed was extra comfy and the room had everything we needed.
