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.

In prestigious Thorpe Bay, Pebbles Guest House is just a mile from Southend-on-Sea centre. The famous Southend-on-Sea Pier is a 20-minute walk and Adventure Island is just over a mile away.

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.

The Cliffs Pavilion is just 300 metres from the guest house, and Genting Club Casino is a short 13-minute stroll away. Adventure Island, a free admission fun park boasting over 32 different rides is also a 23-minute walk along the Western Esplanade.

I liked how closed to south end main part is by car and I also liked that you can see the sea from the outside of the hotel
