We had an amazing stay at Beaches. The grounds and house are impeccable, with lovely interiors. There are so many thoughtful details throughout the property, and Buzz and Jo were responsive, kind, and personable. The area is close enough to walk to the main part of town, but we loved the quiet and calmer street, as well as the dining options. We will be back!

What a fantastic find! Such a lovely Guest House. So much attention to detail - environmentally aware, very clean and fresh, lovely friendly staff. The toiletries were gorgeous - I particularly loved that the packaging was printed using natural products. And, breakfast was beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious, in a beautiful, bright breakfast room and garden. Excellent all round. I can't wait to go back.

Room with a view

The couple running this guesthouse make every effort to ensure you have an amazing stay. The room we stayed in was well proportioned, with large shower room, and balcony with sea view. 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.

Lovely room. Easy access. Proper Hot water and heating unlike many places these days which was a Godsend. Lovely breakfast room and the whole place beautifully clean. 24 hour soft drinks and snacks available which meant my 3am snack fest eliminated my hangover. Thanks Jo & Buzz! See you next time :)

Quiet, clean and cosy - highly recommend

Really appreciated how quiet it was at night, and the room was warm, cosy and very clean. Check in was friendly/efficient and due to leaving early the next morning I was able to get some breakfast to take away, which was nice. Would certainly stay again if I return to the area in future.

Away from amusements of Southend which was perfect for our 2 night stay. Warm welcome from Buz and lovely room with a balcony with great view. Lovely touch having a water cooler as you come in so you can always have bottle of nice cool water to take to your room. Jo and Buz made us feel very welcome and we would definitely recommend The Beaches to anyone!

Great stay with lovely hosts

My new favourite spot to stay in Southend. Extremely comfortable rooms and facilities and the hosts felt like extended family. The cleanliness and room presentation was beyond expectations and breakfast was one of the best I've had in recent memory.
