We enjoyed our third stay at the Pier View (in Sept 2011) every bit as much as we did previously. The owners and their team again treated us more like friends than hotel guests, and could not have made us more welcome. Being elderly we preferred to stay on the ground floor, but having been shown some of the other... More

Pier view was an excellent choice to make as our base to revisit Southend on Sea. The location couldnt be better being next to the shopping, entertainment area, the pier (of course) and the Georgian terraces. Pier View (The Princess Caroline room) was very comfortable with a large bed , area for sitting and lovely views over the estuary from... More

WE chose Pier View as the perfect place to spend our wedding night as it seemed just perfect for our Southend themed wedding! We were not disappointed. The room was lovely, staff very accomodating with taking our luggage early in the day etc and we were greeted with a lovely card and box of chocolates from the team. A lovely... More

We stayed here for one night whilst visiting friends and family in Southend. I cannot fault the accommodation nor the service - it is a lovely place to stay! In terms of cleanliness it was immaculate and I am hard to please! The owner went out of his way to make us feel welcome and kept our luggage for us... More

Our second visit, certainly not our last. Immaculate accommodation, service, etc. A family run guest house with customer care second to none. In our view the best accommodation for a relaxed stay in Southend on Sea. For a continental breakfast of this standard you are talking 5 star. It was nice to feel so welcomed by the owner and other... More

The Peir View certainly ticks all the boxes. The accomodation is beautiful and location is fantastic.. Ed, Barbara and the team have certainly got everything right. It was such a pleasurable stay, and wish we could have stayed for longer. Thank you to you all, and we cant wait to come back. Absolutely Perfect in Every Way. More

Stayed in room 7, Sir William Heygate. Decided not to upgrade to a Kingsize or Seaview as we weren't going to be at the B&B too much as we were visiting family. Was a good choice, ok so the room doesn't have a lovely view but for breakfast each morning we could sit in the breakfast room and see the... More

The staff are very friendly and welcoming and can't do enough to ensure that you get the most out of your stay with them. Southend Central Station is less than a 10 minute walk away. The paved High Street is a 1 minute walk away, but no noise. More

Our stay in Southend was made all the more enjoyable and memorable by our hosts at Pier View. Our rooms were spacious, immaculate, and fitted out with all the amenities one would expect from a large hotel. Breakfast was a real treat, which we had while overlooking the sea front. Above all, wonderful friendly service and helpful advice - an... More
