Creeksea place

The grounds are amazing, the cottage is very quaint,and you can light a real fire. You feel like you are staying at a stately home, the estate is very safe and secure . You can take a short walk to the marina through a vineyard .The stairs to the bedroom are very steep

Fab flat

This is such a comfortable base for what you're looking for in Westcliff. We were staying to visit family but it's only a hop and skip to the theatre or the beach and a lovely walk along to Leigh-on-Sea. The flat is much more spacious than the pics show and thoughtfully equipped. The beds are super comfy. We enjoyed our stay hugely and the hosts are very responsive and helpful.

Short Break

Modern and very spaceous. Right on the High Street. Excellent stay and would come again. The sofa could be a bit better to match the standard of the rest of the apartment.

Great house, good location

A great house, in a good location. Spacious and comfortable with a thoughtful welcome pack left for us on arrival. Thank you. The only downside was the lack of curtains in the bedrooms. Two bedrooms had none and the master had some, but they weren’t wide enough to cover the whole window and block out the light. I would recommend this as a place to stay and hope this improvement could be taken in to consideration.

Estuary View Penthouse Apartment Southend-on-Sea

The apartment was a real ‘home from home’. Samantha’s attention to detail was outstanding. The apartment was spotlessly clean, decorated with a real eye for design and comfort. We have never before stayed at self-catering accommodation where we had to do so little catering for ourselves - the fridge and freezer were well stocked for us, as were the fruit-bowl and biscuit-jar! The view from the apartment is the wonderful ever-changing estuary and the balcony is a real bonus. Altogether, everything we could have hoped for, and more. Thank you, Samantha.
