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.

Absolutely loved our stay at Jo & Buzz's The Beaches. Absolutely amazing hosts in their beautiful homely guesthouse. Our room was very clean, the bed was very comfy and the sea view and balcon was lovely. I have a food allergy and Jo went above and beyond to cater for me with plenty of choice. I even had my own biscuits in the room according to my needs. Breakfast was delicious and very well made and presented. Lovely options as well. Thankyou for a delightful stay, and for our lovely chats. We would definitely stay again xx

Excelled our expectations on every level. From check in, everything explained, even down to the honesty box fridge, and local restaurant options, room 8, with sea view balcony, all clean tidy and comfortable. Breakfast saw so many happy obliging staff. A nice walkable distance to the pier on the lovely weather day we have had. A lovely guest house in every way, we had a great stay

Excellent stay with extremely hospitable hosts. The guest house was fresh, clean and tidy - best I’ve stayed in! Check-in was easy, quick and friendly. Had to ask for directions for evening dining and entertainment then was recommended takeaways and restaurants nearby and a pub nearby which were perfect. Breakfast next morning was delicious - they even laid the table outside for me as the weather was so good. 11/10!

Recommended 😁👌
Was greeted on arrival and shown amenities and room , very pleasant and warm welcome. The entire place was so clean and fresh and had a warm atmosphere. The room was great , free tea,coffee etc, and shower gel,shampoo, conditioner. Bed was really comfortable and had a good night sleep. Clean throughout and up to date decor .Tv was nice to watch before sleeping. The shower was nice in the morning. And the breakfast was so tasty , really cooked well and the sample of fruit was a nice touch , just enough to wake the stomach.The host was and still is great, very attentive and polite. The selection of food is good aswell as the juices and cereal/pastries , also tea and coffee. Overall what a lil gem of a place , the entire staff and place is highly recommended and i wish them continued success and happiness. 😁👍

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
