Spotlessly clean and well furnished accommodation, punching way above its weight as a guest house.

Room (#5) was very comfortable, with tasteful furnishings/fittings and well thought out use of space.

Nice balcony (with a couple of chairs and a small table) overlooking the seafront.

Jo and Buzz were gracious hosts and could not have been more helpful during our stay.

Breakfast excellent - eggs benedict especially recommended.

Free parking either on street, or in nearby car park.

Thorpe Bay is a great location. 1.3 miles from Southend pier, so is close (but not too close!) to the town centre. Frequent buses run along the front in a loop between Leigh and Shoeburyness.

We chose Beaches based on its positive reviews and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The staff who run the property are very welcoming and happy to help. The property itself is in top class condition and trumps any hotel room.

Another highlight is the breakfast, which was included in my rate, which include tea or cafetière coffee, a fruit platter, cereals and a cooked breakfast (e.g. salmon and scrambled eggs on granary bread) with many options available.

I would highly recommend a stay here and will come again if I am ever back in Southend.

Great choice of 'Extra' drinks you can pay for and cheaper that a Pub.

Friendly hosts, great rooms, good location

Just returned from an excellent stay at the Beaches Guesthouse and would definitely return. Warm welcome and friendly service from Jo and Buzz throughout our stay.

Room 10 was spacious, nicely decorated, spotlessly clean, and featured a good sized ensuite. The room could be improved by replacing the blind such that it blocks out all light in the mornings.

Breakfast was included with a range of cereals, etc. on offer and a cooked breakfast which extended to things like Eggs Benedict, Salmon, Croissant with Cheese and Ham, etc. but unfortunately none of the more traditional offerings, like Bacon.

Location: pretty good with nearby free parking, a short walk to parks, pubs, shops, and cafes, and about a 30 minute walk to the pier.

There were all the ‘products’ you could want, and all of very high quality. The breakfast is lovingly cooked presented by Jo. She does the best poached eggs, and we had them served in a variety of ways.

We had a lovely welcome to the hotel, being shown to our room and being recommended local restaurants for our trip. The room and hotel were both lovely - well kept, clean and homey - breakfast was very delightful and customer service was all round wonderful, would definitely visit again. Thankyou both :)

Great, wud stay again

Great location, Buzz was very friendly and helpful. Room was great, bed huge but a bit too hard for us. Big bathroom too. Nice breakfast, no fry ups, nice to have something different for a change. Parked free outside but a fight for a space

I came about 20 minutes early and greeted very nicely and escorted to my room.
The hospitality was amazing and decor of my room was lovely.
I would definitely come again and recommend to everyone.

This is the level of service that all hotels should do.

Lovely B&B and Brilliant Hosts!

Jo and Buzz were brilliant! I was coming in from Heathrow and got delayed due to the traffic and bad weather, but Jo and Buzz were very patient and waited for me to check-in. The solo room I booked was adequate for one person. However, the shower was tiny even for an Asian woman like me, could hardly scrub my back 😅

Great place in a very nice location n the esplanade and very nice hosts. The rooms are very nicely furnished, modern bathroom and all very clean. Very nice place for breakfast with excellent food.
Parking could be a little tricky to find a place on the street in front, but there is a parking behind the buildings in front that serves multiple properties.

Beautiful B&B

We booked a short stay while visiting the Cliffs Pavillion Theatre. As soon as you arrive and see how pretty, well decorated and clean and tidy the place is, you understand why it is so highly rated and reviewed.

The view was excellent and there was very little road noise, the room was beautifull and they have thought of everything you could need.

We loved the breakfast in the morning and Jo and Buzz were wonderful throughout!

We look forward to staying again and can thoroughly recommend it to others.

I have stayed at The Beaches guest house twice now and both times I have absolutely loved it! The rooms are lovely; clean and light with wonderful toiletries and brilliant views from the balcony ( if you have one). The breakfast is really lovely and the service is second to none. Nothing appears to be too much trouble and the hosts are really friendly. Would thoroughly recommend!

Great stay to see show at cliffs pavillion, perfec

Immaculate b&b very friendly and welcoming hosts, breakfast a lovely alternative, so fresh and quality ingredients. I used a make up remover flannel in bathroom which was so good I immediately ordered some for home. Very tasteful and beautiful, highly recommend, great knowledge of local restaurants etc too, couldn’t have been better, we went across the road to billy 100’s tapas bar on the beach and despite it being during storm Eunice was cosy and warm with great food, music and atmosphere, definitely worth a visit
