About this hotel
The Moorings Bed and Breakfast carries a 9.8 out of 10 rating, among the very highest on this wider list, suggesting a genuinely well-run stay despite its modest three-star classification. Breakfast and free Wi-Fi are included as standard, and the location does the rest of the work: Lifstan Way South and Camelia Restaurant are both one minute away on foot, and Adventure Island is a four-minute taxi ride for families with time to spare. The property is kid-friendly and smoke-free throughout, and the near-perfect guest score points to consistency and attentive hosting rather than a large-hotel feel with extensive facilities. A rating this high on a small B&B usually means the basics, cleanliness, breakfast and a genuine welcome, are handled better than at properties several times its size.
- Top-rated B&B
- Free breakfast
- Free Wi-Fi
- Kid-friendly
Our take
This suits travellers who prioritise a genuinely well-reviewed stay over a long amenities list, since the 9.8 rating is a strong signal that this small B&B delivers on the basics better than many larger hotels nearby. It is not the choice for anyone wanting a restaurant, bar or spa on site, but for dependable comfort a minute from Camelia Restaurant it is hard to beat.
- Book ahead given the exceptionally high rating, small B&Bs with strong reviews like this one fill quickly.
- Plan dinner at Camelia Restaurant one minute away rather than expecting an on-site kitchen beyond breakfast.
- Confirm breakfast timing directly with the property if catching an early flight.

Why guests love itThe Moorings Bed and Breakfast is a kid-friendly, smoke-free three-star B&B with breakfast and wi-fi included, and its 9.8/10 score from 51 reviews is outstanding. Adventure Island, Southend's seafront amusement park, is four minutes away by taxi, a good reward for children before or after a flight from London Southend Airport. Camelia Restaurant is a one-minute walk away for dinner. I would recommend it to families who want a small, well-run B&B close to the seafront.
