Located in Southend-on-Sea, near Three Shells and Southend Jubilee Beach, the historic Woodgrange features a garden. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. The property is non-smoking and is situated 2.5 km from Southchurch Beach.

The apartment was beautifully clean, decor was great, and we had everything we needed and more. It is so lovely. On arrival there was milk in the fridge, as well as cold drinks. A bag of ice in the freezer! Wow they had thought of everything. There was also a bowl of fresh fruit in the living room. The apartment is bright and spacious. With off street parking. Seriously what more could you want. Honestly I would score 11 if I could. It was a short walk to the high street, where there are lots of lovely restaurants and pubs. We booked for our sons wedding, which was postponed, but we decided to have a short break anyway, so pleased we did. Definitely booking for next year.

    Location next to the pier. Views from the hotel of the south end on sea pier. Breakfast was good with the pier views. Great to stay with kids as near to all the fun activities. I had an issue with my family room. Staff were proactive in sorting it out and gave me a breakfast voucher to make up for the issue.

    Hotel Seven is worth recommending! Perfect location, beautiful interiors, very functional room with a sea view. Intimate restaurant, delicious breakfasts, amazing food and desserts! In good weather, there are terraces available where you can spend a nice time overlooking the sea and the promenade. This family hotel, which pays attention to details and customers, is worth recommending, and we will definitely return there! Thank you for a nice weekend stay!! M&A

    The house was very nice and just walking distance from car park as well as Sea Side. The host was very helpful and quick to respond to our queries. Our kids really enjoy the stay.we will definitely recommend the place for a family with young kids. Special kudos to host for taking care of small things like toys for kids and keeping books for reading really makes us feel like at home.

    Great location as everything we needed was within walking distance or about a 5 minutes' drive away. There is also a convenience store just footsteps away. The place was big enough to accommodate my family of 6. It was clean, warm and inviting. Like a home away from home. Also, very friendly neighborhood. Mr. Ebi is a wonderful host. He gave us ideas and directions for places we can take the children and recommendations on food places. We had a truly enjoyable vacation.

    Room as described and booked - family room with sea view; the room itself was spacious and the view from the 3rd floor stunning. There was plenty of space for the cot for our little one and for us to spend time in the room when the baby was asleep. Staff at reception and breakfast were very helpful, friendly and helped me arrange for cake and balloons on my wife's birthday - truly excellent.

    Shirley and the gentle on her shift were very nice, considerate and accommodating. They did their very level best to have us settled and comfortable, considering the fact that booking.com let us down. Booking.com allowed us to book room that wasn’t available plus made mistake in our booking. We booked for two night but only got one and booking.com left us to sort ourselves out. I’m still waiting to have my refund from booking.com for the family room that wasn’t available. The breakfast was splendid even my grandchildren loved it.

    The reviews are high, and with very good reason. Fantastic location, the owner has stocked up with more than the basics so we were really able to be comfortable without having to make much effort. He’d even thought of small children, with plastic plates and crockery for them to use. They’ve not cut corners either on utensils, appliances and soft furnishings, so can’t speak highly enough of this property and the effort made to make me and my family feel welcome and comfortable.

    great room - huge with lovely views and friendly staff at breakfast. Comfy beds and clean bathroom, nice low lighting and plenty of room for all of us - we were in a family room and we had two small children with us.
