Hotels near London Southend Airport - SEN, London

west cliff on sea is very nice especially when the sun shines!we love walking along the sea front,getting fish and chips and relaxing in the sun.and when it rained we went to the art gallery and the central museum.we also went to an italian restaurant and a chinese one.

This is a lovely coastal town not far from Southend airport and with excellent train links to London. Of significant interest for the history buffs, this area played its part in the war effort. Whilst it’s more commercialised these days, Leigh still retains its character and Old Leigh is charming and quaint. You are spoiled for choice for things to do - there is something to please everyone!

I only stayed one night because visiting friends. Not far from Hockley is Battlesbridge, there is an amazing antique centre there, well worth a trip. Stay in the Isabella Rooms B&B, it’s lovely and you’ll save money compared to Southend accommodation or Lee-on-Sea, both of which are a short drive away.

Convenient location for where we wanted to go. Host was very pleasant. Self service continental breakfast was good. Parking was good. Comfortable bed a warm room over looking the garden. All in all an excelant stay and value for money.

Southend is no longer a great place to stay - sure you can visit the Arcades, go on the rides, have a drink but it generally is overcrowded by both visitors and overpopulated residents. No different to other seaside places I am sure. Traffic is awful getting there with roadworks everywhere you look - The A127 is awful, the A13 through Westcliff and Chalkwell is scruffy and the shopping is bog standard chains, even the Royals has gone downhill since the demise of Debenhams. Shame really - Known Southend all my life - Better in the 70's and Eighties. The council has a lot to answer for! Too many new residents on the whole.

There are 2 great features to this studio. The balcony area is fanatastic with lovely views and table and chairs. I had good weather so this made up for slight lack of space inside. The other great thing is the bathroom. Large and very clean with full size bath and seperate shower cubicle, The one point not so good was the maintenance of the wooden stairs. They need some work for guests to feel safe when using them. The bed is very comfy but, as the studio is small, it does take up a lot of the space. Very much enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to other travellers
