Outstanding. A lovely place with a boutique feel. Felt very welcomed; went out of their way to accommodate my early arrival given their own cleaning necessities. Perfect number of choices for breakfast and great quality. Love all the small personal touches in the property during Christmas. Comfortable room and very clean. Superb value plus only a short 7 taxi ride to Southend Victoria station. Will recommend to friends and hope to stay here again.

Great place to stay ......
Was one of the most friendliest people we have meet and welcomed my and my wife very well. We had the top floor room facing the sea and the views were so spectacular. Thank you for your great hospitality.

Third time staying and third management but experience equally good. Lovely personal service and Breakfast suited us as non meat eaters. The view from balcony room excellent with gorgeous bathroom. Inside room was a bit tight with lack of storage but overall very pleasant. We had issue with Internet but was sorted quickly. Would certainly recommend Beeches
