Ninety Eight in Southend-on-Sea is a well-received cottage with a beautiful garden and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. Guests appreciate the property's cleanliness, comfort, and the provision of air conditioning during a heatwave. While some maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is positive, with the property's location and the kindness of the owners being highlights.
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with some guests finding the property only superficially clean and spending time cleaning upon arrival, while others did not raise such concerns. This suggests that cleanliness levels may vary.
The location is generally praised for being quiet and conveniently close to the town and beach, contributing to an enjoyable stay.
Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of comfy beds and reclining chairs, though there are comments about prominent bedsprings in a bunk bed and a need for better curtains to block out light.
Facilities are appreciated but several maintenance issues are reported, such as problems with the heating, dishwasher, and shower screen. The lack of Sky TV as listed and the overgrown garden affecting BBQ use are also noted.
Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.
Tucked away in the bustling seaside town of Southend-on-Sea is this large, semi-detached house, Ninety Eight. A great base for exploring the South of England, there are plenty of amenities, attractions, and sandy beaches a stone's throw away, as well as thoughtfully appointed living areas and a large, enclosed garden. Two off-road parking spaces welcome you on arrival to unpack and make yourself at home with ease. Head straight to the bright kitchen/diner to savour family dinners together. Stock up the kitchen cupboards and rustle up home-cooked meals with the electric oven, grill and hob, microwave, and fridge/freezer. Just next door is a handy utility with a washer and dryer to quickly clean sandy towels and bathing suits ready for another day by the sea! When it's time to relax, sink into the sofas of the large sitting room with homely décor, a feature fireplace, and TV with Sky to catch your favourite shows. Alternatively, step outside on summer evenings into your private, enclosed garden where the little ones can play, pick strawberries and tomatoes from the garden patch, and you can prepare tasty treats on the barbecue! As night draws in, freshen up in the ground-floor shower room or climb the stairs for a comforting bubble bath before bed. Two large double bedrooms offer ample storage space and beautiful, original fireplaces, alongside a small double bedroom. The property features a spacious second-floor loft conversion, offering a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, This versatile space is perfect for those seeking privacy and comfort, with ample natural light and a modern finish.
