Great location. Super easy 10 min walk along the high street to the Cliffs Pavillion. Kitchen has plenty of space. Gareth and Sandra couldn't have been for friendly and relaxed, making me feel very welcome straight away and Prudence the dog was just the cutest! Bed super comfy and loads of draw space in the room. Sadly the lock didn't work on my room so occasionally had Prudence coming into the room. Smoking house (always outside) in case issue for anyone with allergies to smoke. Thank you!

A wonderful place to stay in Southend… close to the shops, and an easy stroll to the Cliffs Pavillion theatre. My room was incredibly comfortable and spotlessly clean, Sandra and her family were a delight (as was Prue the dog!), and I honestly couldn't have wished for better digs - despite being there for work, it felt like a holiday!
19th Jul 2025
Sandra and Gareth were lovely hosts and their pets are brilliant! I felt very welcome and the bed is so comfortable! Free parking on Annerly or Valkyrie Road.
Thankyou so much for having me!
29th May 2025
Sandra is very welcoming and helpful. Nice room & house close to Cliffs Pavilion theatre and Westcliff train station. Shops & cafes close by too. If travelling by car best park at theatre as parking can be tricky.

11th May 2025
What a beautiful house to stay in with a comfy bed, good shower and easy access to washing/cooking. And what lovely hosts. Sandra & Gareth are so hospitable. They completely get touring folks’ needs. I felt completely at home and would stay there in a heartbeat if I was back in Southend and the room was available. I thoroughly recommend.
21st Apr 2025
This room was absolutely gorgeous and the friendliness and communication from Sandra was fantastic. Will absolutely stay here again next time I'm touring through. Prue the pup was the cherry on top!
4th Apr 2025

I would highly recommend Sandra’s home and her chilled hospitality. Thank you so much, Sandra and Gareth for being lovely hosts!

17th Feb 2025
Staying with Sandra was a breeze. Lovely home, very good communication. No curfews, wasn’t rushed out on check out day. Brisk 10 minutes to the cliffs or a gentle 15 depending on your pace. Close to local amenities but a good 25 to the town centre depending on your needs. Would recommend and would stay again!
