I had a great time at Glenda’s. SO close to the theatre (I could very easily nip back and forth between shows). I stayed in the cute summer house, which had everything I needed, and peaceful privacy. Great company too! Would gladly return. Xxx
8th Apr 2026
I had a great stay here! Glenda is a really lovely host
25th Mar 2026
A nice stay in the summer house, a small but cosy self contained space! Glenda was very welcoming and friendly! Great location, an easy walk to the Cliffs.
7th Mar 2026
The summerhouse is a fab little hideaway. Very comfortable and well resourced with desk and wifi. Really comfy bed and perfect balance of privacy but homely welcome when you return. Glenda and Mark are delightful - great to chat to and very welcoming. I'm not surprised its always booked up! Will be back !
27th Feb 2026
Another warm friendly welcome from Glenda and Mark.Thank you so much for the peaceful room and comfy bed.A house bursting with character,always a joy to spend time there.Many thanks to you both.
19th Jan 2026

A pleasure to stay in the lovely little Summer House. A very cosy space. Glenda always made sure I had everything I needed and more. A very kind, conscientious host and I would definitely stay again.
8th Jan 2026
Thank you so much! I had the best time staying here. You both made me feel so at home and absolutely spoiled me! Thank you for everything and I can’t wait to come back and see you both soon. Love Lucy x
5th Jan 2026
We very much enjoyed your company Lucy, hope to see you again.
Glenda was a very thorughful, friendly, experience host. I was only in for a week but the room was exactly what I need and she even took the time to get in some milk and basics to tide my over on my arrival day. Thanks for making me so welcome, Glenda, if I'm ever back in Southend I'll be in touch!
5th Dec 2025
A lovely place to stay a short walk away. Had everything I needed would definitely stay again

Thank you David it was a real pleasure having you come to stay with us. Look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Lovely room! Hosts are super kind and welcoming. Thank you for the breakfast food items!
6th Oct 2025
I had a lovely stay with Glenda and Mark, who were wonderfully warm and welcoming. The Summer House itself is small but perfectly formed - a comfortable double bed, en-suite shower and loo, and microwave, kettle and toaster. Bread, butter, milk, biscuits, noodles and an array of hot drinks were generously provided. I was also welcome to use the kitchen and washing machine in the main house. Glenda and Mark were as happy to chat as they were to leave me to my own devices. Great digs. Thank you!
5th Oct 2025
I adored staying in the garden room, it was a very relaxing retreat to come back to after the show. Glenda and Mark are such lovely hosts. Highly recommended.
8th Sep 2025
It was absolutely fantastic having Matt come to stay really pleasant nice conversations would love to have met back any time he’d be more than welcome. Thank you Matt and good luck for the future.
410 successful bookings - says it all really. This was my second visit, in the house itself this time as George Rainsford beat me to the garden house because he’s a bastard. Your own fridge? Microwave? Chocky bicks? Oh yes! And if you’re really lucky, Mark will fire up his amp ;)
27th Jul 2025
Really great self contained accommodation. Totally own space within suite bathroom, microwave, fridge etc. Cosy, great value & very close to Palace Theatre
27th Jul 2025
Glenda and Mark are so lovely and accommodating. The space was perfect for me, really comfy and had everything I needed. Great place to stay, I'll definitely be back!
2nd Jul 2025
Booked the double for four nights. Very comfortable bed, cosy room with use of own microwave and fridge (with milk, crumpets and butter!), tea/coffee/kettle too. Wanted for nothing. Exceeded expectations and super friendly Glenda and artist Mark made me feel completely at home (6stars). No surprise they are a favourite for productions visiting Southend. Hard to find fault. Thank you!
18th May 2025
Glenda was so sweet and a great host. I was out most of the time but the single room was a perfect little place to rest my head. The room is cosy but has everything you could need. Glenda even supplied some bits and pieces for breakfast which was much appreciated! It's less than 5 mins to the Palace Theatre and about 10mins to the seaside, probably 15-20mins walk to the Cliffs so ideal wherever you are. Will definitely stay again! xx
13th May 2025
I’ve stayed here on both times I’ve visited Southend. At Cliffs and Palace. Glenda and Mark are open, kind and approachable and very generous in the little touches that help you feel in a home from home.
I’ve stayed in the summer house each time. Love it there.
Thank you both.
See you next time :)
13th May 2025
A real home from home. Glenda and Mark are so lovely. They felt like old friends. Such lovely hosts and full of recommendations for local eateries etc. The room is small but cosy and comfy and quiet. I slept really well while I was there. I would def stay there again if I’m back in Southend. 😊 Thanks guys
20th Apr 2025
Glenda and Mark were lovely hosts - really friendly and welcoming. The summer house is a great space and such a comfortable bed. Thanks so much!
20th Apr 2025
Excellent, peaceful, little summer house with friendly hosts, and only 5min from theatre. Recommended!
18th Apr 2025
Lovely stay with Glenda, couldnt be closer to the palace theatre. So nice having a fridge microwave, toaster and kettle in the room too, Glenda was a dream
5th Apr 2025
Very quirky and lively house - having a kettle microwave and toaster in my room was a huge bonus! Glenda was lovely
12th Mar 2025
I had a lovely week in the summer house room.
It's a little compact studio with shower room on the end. Small kitchen set (mini fridge, microwave, toaster & kettle) including small pantry and crockery.
I was there in February and it was lovely and warm (you have control over heating) including an electric blanket.
Glenda is a wonderfully welcoming host, really good communication and very flexible. I was at the Palace and the 5 min walk to work was lovely in a busy week.
9th Mar 2025
Lovely host and gorgeous house!
23rd Feb 2025
Top notch stay very welcoming the host and easy walk to the theatre.
23rd Feb 2025

7th Jan 2025
Had a lovely time staying there lots of laughs and chats .A warm welcoming home .
9th Dec 2024
Glenda and Mark could not have been more friendly, generous and hospitable. The Summer house was cute, clean, warm and very generously provided with provisions... I couldn't get through all the biscuits (and I tried!). 15 minute walk to Pavilion theatre, 5 to supermarkets. Would highly recommend staying here.
18th Nov 2024
One of the best digs I've stayed with, Glenda goes above and beyond to accommodate her guests and you have all kinds of facilities in the room. It's a great quick walk to get to either theatre, and it's close enough to a main road that it's very safe at night. 10/10 would recommend
7th Oct 2024
Fabulous! Friendly hosts, good location and very comfortble. Already booked to go back.
5th Oct 2024
I had a great stay with Glenda, she was very friendly and welcoming and the house is ideally suited for Cliffs Pavillion.
29th Sep 2024
Very comfortable room (the double), a couple of minutes walk away from the Palace Theatre. Glenda was very welcoming and hospitable, and made sure I had everything I needed. A tea and coffee station plus fridge, toaster and microwave in the room, and I was also welcomed to use the hob in the kitchen. Was particularly grateful when coming home after a very long and stressful get in with no time for food shopping to discover not only tea and milk, but toast, butter and honey provided for me!
27th Sep 2024
Glenda is an absolutely wonderful host. Very helpful, kind and generous. Leaves you to it after a long day! Thank you so much for having me! Will definitely be booking again next time I’m in Southend!
23rd Sep 2024

10th Feb 2024
Glenda was very friendly and welcoming, and able to help however I needed.
I stayed in the summer house, which was a really lovely self-contained place which had everything I needed. We were performing at the Cliffs Pavillion, and the digs are a really easy walk to there.
I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Southend.
30th Jan 2024
Had a lovely stay at the bottom of the garden. Nice and warm even in the cold of winter with a kettle, microwave, toaster and fridge provided. And I was still welcome in the kitchen. Lovely hosts and would recommend for cliffs pavilion theatre.

28th Aug 2019
Glenda &Mark were both so lovely! The summer house has it all if you wish to be self contained, it’s worth noting though that the trampoline next door and the children were quite noisy so struggled to sleep in. Funky home though & hospitable hosts.
27th Aug 2019
Happens once a year, was all wrapped up by midnight.
I stayed in the summer house. I've stayed there before, and would happily stay there again. It's pretty much self-contained with its own bathroom and the room also comes with its own fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle etc.

Amazing digs with fantastic, generous host. Little treats in the room were a lovely touch. Easy walk to Cliffs Pavilion or Palace. Easy 5 stars!

Very convenient location for Palace theatre, hosts very friendly and accommodating. Fridge, kettle and toaster in room a bonus. Quirky house full of interesting objects and furnishings

Glenda was a great host! Lovely house, lovely well equipped room. Only downside is that the wifi doesnt reach the bedrooms but you can use the kitchen for wifi. Good value!
20th Mar 2018
Actually, WiFi works everywhere including summerhouse, can only assume there was an outage for some reason.
Thanks very much for having me guys!
Lovely house / room and hosts - I'd definitely recommend staying here :-)

Glen and Mark are so lovely. I stayed in both the Summer House and the Double Room and both were clean, stunning and warm.
They make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. Working Wifi in all rooms. Just perfect in every way.
Perfect

It was an absolutely lovely stay. Glenda and Mark are great hosts. I stayed both in single room and summer house and recommend both- very warm (the electric blanket in summer house was amazing), very clean and well equipped.

A pleasure staying at Glenda's digs. I have stayed in all three very comfortable rooms over the years. My favourite is the Summer House which I stayed in again last winter, en suite, warm and cozy and your own space. Back again this year. Delightful!
5th Dec 2017
I stayed in the small single room. Weak WiFi connection in this room but very warm, clean and comfortable. Biscuits and milk provided in large fridge. 15 minute walk from Cliffs Pavilion. I felt very welcome.
21st Nov 2017
Stayed in the summer house. Not advisable during winter months as it was cold. The main house is big enough and Glenda welcomes you to sit there but I was expecting a more self contained property. No Wi-fi connection in the shed.

Feedback received. Could have helped you if this had been mentioned at the time. Heating is on all day until midnight and there was an additional fan heater. We have now bought another heater and some electric blankets. We are improving our Wifi.
Brilliant digs ,Glenda makes you feel very welcome ,highly recommended ,I would definitely stay again

3 minutes walk to Palace Theatre. Glendas home is beautiful, the room is really comfortable with everything you need. Croissants and crumpets, teas and coffee all provided in the room. Perfect.
17th Oct 2017
Perfect! Summer house was great and lovely host
16th Oct 2017
Stayed in the self contained summer house which was great. Do note you have to walk through the house to access.
Glenda was very welcoming and made arriving easy.
The only downside was the wifi was very unreliable in the summerhouse.
29th Sep 2017
Lovely digs and extremely close to the theatre (Palace Theatre in particular, though I discovered its not far from the Pavilion after going to the wrong theatre). Very friendly hosts and homely room. Would definitely recommend these digs.
25th Sep 2017
This house has so much charm, just my cup of tea.
24th Sep 2017
This was such a lovely stay- the bed in the double bedroom is so comfortable, and all the snacks and facilities in the room made the stay extra comfortable. It's super close to the theatre, and lovely and quiet! A brilliant stay- thanks Glen! X

I stayed in the summer house and loved it. Quirky and cute and self contained. Glenda stocked it with everything you could need; cereals, croissants, crumpets, teas and coffees which was so nice - a really thoughtful host! Also super close to theatre
13th Jun 2017
Excellent little self-contained summer house, very close to theatres. Glenda was a lovely hostess.
18th May 2017
Amazing digs! I had a lovely stay in the summerhouse - self contained with a tv, kettle, microwave, fridge (no wifi) and even had bread, milk and crumpets awaiting my arrival. Gorgeous house, and super friendly host. 2mins from Palace. Loved it!

Lovely digs Lovely people.
6th Dec 2016
Glenda & Mark (& lovely kitty!) are friendly & welcoming, but unobtrusive & laid back - perfect combo! The 'Summer House' is a sweet little chalet in the garden, fitted with everything you could need and more! Great location!
24th Sep 2016
Flattered.
Excellent. Lovely host. Made very welcome. Quiet area and comfy bed. Who can ask for anything more!
22nd Sep 2016
Flattered.
Small room - but very comfortable and cosy. Friendly hosts and good location for both theatres.
12th Sep 2016
Loved my stay here in the little Summer House. May be a bit quirky for some, but suited me fine. Lovely house and an easy 10 mins walk (if that) from the theatre.
24th Aug 2016
Great digs. I've stayed there a couple of times now...and will happily stay there again.
23rd Aug 2016
Great house and lovely hosts!

Glenda and Mark are lovely people, very kind and attentive - great location to get to the theatre - literally a 3 minute walk. The single room is small but has it's own fridge, kettle and toaster.
25th Apr 2016
Glenda and Mark are warm, kind and friendly hosts. Kept stocked with milk, crumpets and jaffa cakes at no extra charge. Really nice touch. 15 minute walk to Cliffs Pavilion
25th Apr 2016
The Summer House was such fun to stay in with amazing hosts too!
12th Apr 2016
I had a lovely week staying with Glenda and Mark, and for the Cliffs Pavilion it's about a 12 minute walk door to door.
Glenda provided some food and drinks for the fridge in the room which was a great touch and I would highly recommend!
5th Feb 2016

Comfy bed!

Lovely and warm and very handy.
Thank you.
29th Oct 2015
I love these people. I love their house, (and the summer house), and everything about them. I am also jealous that they are so damn cool, and that they are so f'ing nice to be around. I told them I felt like I was on holiday - because I did.
The theatre is just around the corner.
On-street parking is free. Bless. X

Room small but had all the essentials needed.
Very welcoming hosts.

What can I say. Fantastic house, felt like I was at home.
So welcomed by Glenda and her family. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
Thanks so much.

Glenda is very friendly and accommodating.
Stayed in the summer house which is completely self-contained with a fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle and was comfortable.
