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.

    Such a warm friendly welcome. My room was absolutely spotless. Very modern with stylish interior. Bed was the comfiest I’ve slept in. Small box of cornflakes and milk in the fridge which was a wonderful touch. Carol was and is the best host you could ask for. Definitely a 5* rating from me. Close to all amenities and parking easy. Keep up the great work Carol and see you again soon.

    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.
