I’ve stayed here before but not in this room. This is a lovely little B&B, fabulous breakfast, lovely staff and wonderful location with a free car park very close. Great value.

Company info

I started the business with my husband in 2004. Our son came along in 2007 and we pride ourselves on being a friendly family run B&B. We are very involved in the Scout Movement in Southend and we are very passionate about encouraging and teaching life skills to young people. There may be times when we will leave a key in the key box whilst we are at various meetings. Our son loves dancing and again with transporting him to his clubs, we may leave a key out for you.

Property info

The Moorings was built in the 1920’s when trams used to operate up and down the seafront. Now the local bus can pick you up or drop off near the front of the business and take you into the centre of Southend where you can visit the shops, restaurants and bars. Southend on Sea is a resort town on the Thames Estuary in Essex. The longest pleasure pier in the World is serviced by a small train and is just over a mile from the B&B. Nearby is Adventure Island which is a fun park with more than 40 rides and attractions from roller coaster to ghost trains. There are many award winning beaches to visit and bikes can be hired in the town centre if you would like to enjoy the seafront bike routes. Leigh on Sea is on the outskirts of the town and you can walk the cobbled stone paths of Old Leigh and try a plate of “cockles” with a local brewed beer or visit the many independent shops and cafes along Leigh Broadway. Southend Airport is 15 minute drive way and if it’s at a convienent time, transport can be arranged to and from the airport. Visiting London couldn’t be easier, on a direct train to London Fenchurch Street you could be there in less than an hour. Within an hour...

Neighborhood info

The Moorings B&B is right on the seafront. There is a sea theme throughout including a boat in the front garden – so you won’t miss it. The free public car park entrance is four doors down from The Moorings.
