12:19 - See anything you fancy? "I was hoping you'd say me" classic Tim 😂
Really random but I cant believe how calm and chill Casper is in the restaurant. He is a dream baby!
He's always been good like that
I love when Gabby and Casper come along. I love this hotel, I also love the sea, beach. Really nice place.
Loved your puzzlement over soft-shell crab. It wasn't seen much in the UK until recently.
This was my wedding venue and can not sing their praises enough! Incredible hotel and amazing staff ❤ the record player came in handy while I was getting ready and the food was so good!
Soulless new money Essex venue.
When you first walked into your room, I thought it was a fridge freezer standing there 😁
Love these hotel rating videos, keep up the good work 👍🏻
Me too
And me
Great video, Tim. I think £219 is too much for what you got - it’s £150 tops. The cost of the dinner was ridiculous too.
But, it’s beautifully furnished and notwithstanding a couple of issues, very well put together! The things you two do for your video - Gaby looked so cold on the balcony!
Love this review - thank-you. It does make me sad though ... if only English seaside hotels would learn from the chains that it's sometimes better to get the basics right (make sure the lights work and fix the windows) than buy yet another bouquet of window-dressing... and at £219 I'd expect the basics to be sorted!!
I was really impressed and was just putting it into google as I want to go that area soon. I have lung condition and strong cleaning smells are a nightmare. Things like that in a review are so helpful so thanks, this is why i value your reviews!
I’d go before the owners do a new upgrade. The new plans are soulless imo. Thorpe bay is ok but too many tacky mc mansions and angry Essex types in range rovers
As an expat who has lived in Beijing, Hanoi, Myanmar , Amsterdam and now Dubai, 219 is a shocker. Even here in Dubai you could stay at a five star hotel for that price, and in Thailand or Vietnam you'd get something absolutely top of the range. When you think you can get an over the sea bungalow in the Maldives for 280 a night it makes you realise how expensive hotels are in the UK!
Turns out hotels are cheap when you have literal human slaves from south Asia to cook, clean and serve the guests.
@@excession3076 Very wrong, you have to add VAT when you process food for sale, so every restaurant item has a 20% on cost to the business, all the staff involved in the production and service have to be paid as well, then you have to pay for all the furnishings and fittings, glassware, cutlery, crockery and breakages, last and by no means least the gas and electricity bills, by the time you do all that if you can make a profit the tax man appears again with his hand out.
I guess the rate is high to pay for the renovations….
@@Cubeforc3 I'm sorry but where in Amsterdam, Vietnam and China do they have southern Asian slaves?
I agree £219 should buy you a 5 star Hotel
not a British seaside B&B
if this was £100 a night , I'd still think it was expensive, but others would say that's reasonable.
Beautiful! I really got addicted to your Chanel! I feels like I'm traveling with you, good job!
Please go back to Center Parcs maybe a new one
The flowers are a seasonal thing and the decor they provide is changed throughout the year. We had our wedding there in March 2023. I personally cannot fault them. The venue was lovely, the staff exceptionall and the food, both the sit down meal and the buffet were superb. All the guests were looked after incredibly well , the price of the event was excellent value as was the bar bill at the end of the event. We had several guests stay in the hotel too and whille the rooms are not the cheapest in town they are a great size , comfortable beds and feel very luxurious. I would recommend the venue wholeheartedly. They also do an afternoon tea which my wife and her daughters went to prior to the event which they all said was a lovely treat.
Tacky new money Essex land. Mind the mc mansion.
I just enjoyed Gaby's vlog now I'm here ! My fave UA-cam couple really brighten my day 🥰
Yay! Thank you!
Great hotel Tim and thank you for the special thanks at the end
I find this funny how i've just watched you in Dubai now i'm watching you at a hotel round the corner from my house 😂 Living the life Tim! Keep it up man, great channel you’ve created 📹
Lol I love Southend ❤️
I stayed there for my 50th, lovely hotel, cosy, great service. I am very particular with matterss and bed covers I must say it lived up to my expectations, fluffy towels good quality cotton bedding. I also noticed the orange edged napkins at the restaurant matching the interior nice touch. The only issue we had was the parking. I will definitely visit again.
Great video Tim, welcome to my home town, I live about 10 mins walk from the Roslin and everyone who lives here says its the best Hotel. Glad you enjoyed, loved your Dubai videos ! Keep up the great work !
Thanks Sean
Love the fact Gaby attempted to correct your pronunciation of gnocchi but ALSO pronounced it wrong, too!! Tell Gaby the G is silent 😜
Good to know!
I ordered Gnocchi in Rome and pronounced it Notchi, only to be rebuked that it's pronouned 'g-knock-y' 😂😂
Lovely room and bathroom, shame about the smell and the draughts from the balcony. I thought the flowers were a bit too much too. I think £219 was a bit steep, especially with it being in March, I dread to think what it would cost at peak season 😕 Thanks Tim and Gaby, and Casper too, what a sweetheart 😊
Good old Southend on Sea....the posh end! Lovely views from your balcony, you mad people sitting in the rain and wind outside! Thumps is such a dear little boy Tim...he's looking a lot like you these days. Lovely that he comes along with you both to these places & joins in with the fun. Making lots of memories for the three of you. x J x
Lovely thing to say judy
My mums got that record player lol 😂 also love the themeing and colours!
Sorry late catching up lovely vlog lovely hotel,glad you enjoyed with Gaby and Casper, thanks for sharing night night x
What a gorgeous hotel! Love the decor in the room, everything just flows beautifully! Would definitely have stayed there if it wasnt for the no lift thing. Shame it's not disability friendly in there, worth every penny by the looks of it though for someone able bodied! And that view! Just wow!
You always give an complete description , I'm really impressed, thank you beautiful hotel people can relax in 😘💚
The view hotel in Eastbourne has lovely rooms with balcony with incredible views
There are beutiful rooms on the ground floor , my mother and mother in law both use wheelchairs and attended out wedding at the venue with absolutely no issues .
What a lovely room with a view, can I just say Casper is so well behaved, it was cute when he was checking out the bathroom!
I live here in Southend and ive always wanted to see the inside of this hotel!
All the flowers, I was thinking wedding venue and vows were being renewed.
I love the duck egg colour in combo with the white skirting boards - looks fab, also the headboard of the bed is very nice. The chair on the work desk - shape I love, fabric, not my cup of tea
Great job! Very thorough and detailed.Appreciate the personality and enthusiasm you bring to your reviews.Always love the beautiful gaby !Thank you for sharing this.
Your devoted fan from America
What a beautiful hotel. Probably one of the best I've seen on your channel. The attention to detail is excellent. Not sure about the wierd cupboard for tea/coffee/record player but hey ho. Also...Gaby looks absolute fire! 💯
Great Vid Tim my dad has one of those record players and he buys records from the record shop in Great Yarmouth Regent Road (Good Times Record shop)
Great view & the breakfast looked delicious 😋Thanks Tim , Gabby n Casper 🤗Ps very pricey
It looked really nice, I think they missed a trick not putting the TV in the cabinet where the record player was and having the record player on the side. For aesthetic reasons.
I also don't think that half an hour wait is too unreasonable for a freshly cooked breakfast, I hate breakfast buffets, its never quite the same as a fresh breakfast. I miss the days of a fresh breakfast.
The hotel I work at still do buffets despite its 4* rating, I keep trying for them to change it but alas I am just one person.
I will definitely check this place out, it looks right up my street :)
A record player in the room! When hub (a vinyl addict) saw that he said if he was staying there he'd just take loads of records to play, just because he could, and probably forget things like toothbrush or clothes! 😊 Nice hotel, it had a bit of an "Overlook Hotel" Art Deco vibe to it, but in a a nice way! The food looked lovely, too! Thanks Tim and Gaby, and good little Casper (he looked so cute sitting at the table!)
Those cheap little (probably Chinese) record players have very poor performance, both in sound and speed stability! They're often crystal cartridges, not moving magnet, so they will chew up your good vinyls - assuming the (probably sapphire) stylus isn't worn out or chipped!
Oh, he knows that. It was mostly said in jest because it's so random to have one of those reproduction record players AND some cheesy records in a hotel room! Hub plays his records on the real thing - a piece of vintage hi-fi tech (don't ask me what!😊)
My kind of hotel! I guessed the attache case contained a record player, as I have one! Personally, whilst the portions may not be very large, I usually find that quality of food/price quite filling; and I am a pretty big eater! And Thumps sitting at the dining table - what a picture! Thorpe bay, Westcliff and the like, being outside of Southend itself are far superior. Yes, good value.
What a fabulous hotel. I like it when Gabby and Casper join you. I used to regularly visit Southend as a child but never remember seeing posh hotels. I guess times change and your video has definitely made me want to visit this hotel.
Now, that’s a posh phone Tim. Better than the one in Abu Dhabi, me thinks.
This hotel is just down the road from where i live in Shoeburyness, they have done alot of work on it and ive heard meant to be doing alot more soon. It used to be smaller but they extended into another property. It looks very different since i last went there on some training for a bank job but beautiful, a very expensive stay though for 1 night
Thanks for sharing
Midland Hotel in Bradford has just been bought by Britannia, next hotel vlog,lol.
Nice one Tim that looks a nice place food looks good but like you say bigger portions needed. and Gabby you looked Beautiful don’t doubt yourself lass Have a Top week Tim 🙂🧳🎥✌️
thanks Lee
Hello Tim and Gaby, brilliant video,what a lovely view from the porch especially when it's sunny,for the price I think for breakfast it's worth the money to stay there.the room was great and to have a retro record player was interesting to see.
Tim, I love your videos. I never quite know where you're going to pop up next lol
Was impressed by the Elemis complementary products in the bathroom, they're quite pricey to buy
@@davidsworld5837 never said it was good enough. Buying most things in bulk works out cheaper.
Blimey that brought back memories. Im an Essex lass born n bred now in Wiltshire. Loved Essex and this video was great. Able to see places i has been to many times including the beach. Love it
Essex is trashy. It’s well known globally for this
You guys are actually couple goals 💜 and thumps is adorable as always
That's a portable record player so deffo meant to take it out of the cupboard but interesting selection on LPs lol
Walked past here loads of times as I live near here and wondered what it looks like inside-very nice! Like you say though the flowers make it look like a florists!
I stayed there last year and it’s beautiful. The staff were lovely and the food fantastic.
Well this looks lovely Tim apart from too many flowers! Clean, smart and good food too. Unusual not to have a lift but if just one floor fair enough so long as you know ahead of time. Great to know about this place, thanks!
Yes far too many
Looks like a lovely hotel would stay there! Got to love sitting on the balcony at night even if it was in the rain (very British! 😄) also how cute Is your little boy! 😊
There is something for everybody at Southend-On-Sea. Quaint fishing village ( Leigh On Sea ) beautiful seafront gardens, a long Pier, a mile of amusements, pubs galore and then at Thorpe Bay quiet elegance with wide sandy beach.
Great balanced review as always. 219 pounds is too much for what i’m sure is a lovely hotel. But personally not for me. I think the flowers are a bit overkill but they have their own unique taste throughout the hotel.
Personally loved the room and the record player lovely retro touch that I wouldn’t have expected in the room.
WOW Southend on SEA impressed, my mothers family were evacuated to Rochford so I know the area well. Caspar is too cute!!!! You are the sort of family I would love as neighbours!!!!
So you’re the culprit! Opening doors by pushing the glass panel on the doors so there are greasy finger marks on the glass, that’s what the push plate is for on the door frame 😂
Another great video Tim , Gabby looked nice at dinner time , looked forward to more of your hotel reviews
Thanks Alex
Other than the overabundance of flowers it looked like a lovely hotel. The rounded cabinet was a bit out of place I thought but overall the room was lovely. The food looked good; the portions at breakfast seemed quite large. Little Casper sitting at the table; he`s such an adorable little boy!
Tim every time i see you upload i always watch it and thank you for always uploading good videos and your really funny
Thankyou for your best rated Southend Hotel video Tim,nice to see Gaby looking so lovely dressed up to the nines,her outfit suited her,lovely to see Casper too,he is such a credit to you and so we'll behaved.Another excellent video Tim.If you were hungry couldn't you have asked for seconds?
Great review Tim and what a lovely hotel, I would definitely stay there x
I thought Gaby in her dining outfit blended very well with the decor, another nice little attention to detail 😄
Gabby always looks wonderful! Food looks abit expensive though. Nice video Tim.
It doesn’t seem posh. I’m from America, that would be a regular hotel. Not a posh one. But it’s cute. I don’t like strong smells of Clemson chemicals. Your family is so cute ! I love this channel!
Thanks Beth
Great looking hotel!. Love this type of review! I prefer twin beds [we're well past the age where you want to meet in the middle] Restaurant looks great! Lamb chops for me and a full English for breakfast!
Great hotel, had my grandfather and grandmothers wakes there and the staff were all so accommodating and the facilities top notch
@@yummychoc6657 ?
Oh wow! Very nice room, think my auntie would probably want to stay there, she likes them kind of things with the phone, radio and the record player. I do like the bathroom, with the bath. It made me think of a fairy tail hotel there, on the flowers walking down the stairs. Hope you all had a lovely time?
Great video. I loved the way Gabby ate the pea tart by hand. Kind of expensive but it’s nice
Awww i only recently started following this year. I have to say Gabby you look gorgeous and Casper so good. Nice to watch old vids
Great vlog and review tim
Thanks 👍
I lived at no. 8 Camper Rd. 48 (!!!) years ago, just a couple of minutes' walk away from the Roslin. To be honest I don't remember anything about the Roslin now. Maybe it was a dive then (there were a few of those in Southend then). But it's a beautiful place now. I like your style of reviewing, so I'll get back to the video.
I have never stayed there. But I know southend really well living in Essex. I love the seaside too. But I think that price was a bit high for 2 beds pushed together. Love the bath. How cute casper looks bless him. Stay Safe ❤xx😊
Thank you Tim as always, lovely hotel, I can imagine what it would be like in the height of the season. I think one of the best you have stayed at. Lush bathroom the kind I would love to have, it wasn't too much but it was really nice, loved the colours x
I have never stayed there but then I live in Westcliff about 10 minutes away. I have eaten in the restaurant though. This video made me laugh due to you and Gabby's wonder at a record player. I am a vinyl head but it did make me realise just how old I am.
i was born in southend and when i used to visit my grandparents they used to take us there. it was very maroon and the food was grim. it was one of the better hotels. much improved have just started watching your programmes. love them still thin the ritz is the best so far
OMG I live near Southend and go past this hotel a lot! Always wondered what it was like to stay there! I've heard a lot of celebrities that perform at the Cliffs Pavillion stay in either The Roslin or The Westcliff Hotel. In my opinion I prefer The Roslin.
The owners want a new exterior design which is utterly soulless. Bit like Thorpe bay
that orange rust color looks extra beautiful on Gabby!
My coffee almost came out of my nose... you caught me off guard! with that karate chop! LOL 5:34 😂😆
Love your videos Tim and love seeing the whole family involved. Soft Shell Crab is amazing! Works really well as a burger too 😋
Awesome! Thank you!
I was surprised to see palm trees in the UK! I also had a difficult time thinking about no lift! That bothered me. I was thinking about people who can’t do stairs.
So, for me despite the nice decor it was a big no for me!
Love your videos! ❤
Hello again from Ladysmith BC. Gabby you look beautiful and that colour looks lovely on you. What a wonderful person you are and a great mother. Hugs to you both
I loved this hotel Tim ~~ just looked super cute ~~ I think your room was one of the nicest, cleanest, best rooms (I love retro), that you have stayed in. Loved the colour scheme of the room, loved the record player and oh my, I must be old, I have every one of those LP’s, I remember when they all came out ~~ did you end up playing a record………… a little Hot August Night maybe ????
Loved the decor and extras of the dinning room, maybe I liked it so much because it was reminiscent of my days of travel and adventure. For 219 pounds I thought it was well worth every pound you paid !!! Thanks Time 💕💕💕🐾🐾🐾🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺xoxox
Lovely location, great view from the balcony. Ok price at £219 a night. I'd have said it was a good price if you had lifts, a nicer double bed and a better balcony door.
Ps Gabby scrubs up well mate, you're a very lucky man 👍🏻😊
lol thanks
Record player drink’s cabinet, that’s a first. Hotel in a good location.
That menu reference was brilliant, definitely using that one 😅😂
Lovely quaint Hotel Tim what a refreshing sea side place.
Very lovely room in that shade of Green & the Retro Table Workspace.
Retro but chic!
And that Turquoise Telephone is completely justified as a clean well looking piece of nostalgia!
Remember my Mum's records an Apple one of John Lennon singing 'Imagine'.
Furniture does look vintage & well looked after.
It's good it smells nice tho as you say Tim abit much when you have a cold.
Hope you're feeling better soon Tim!
That Headboard was high I hope it was nice & secure, wouldnt want that collapsing in the Night 🤣no the bed looked very cosy.
Bathroom looked perfect, well worth spending money on!
Shower head looked abit rusty or like it needed a polish.
Very cosy Bathrobes.
I couldn't stay somewhere with no lifts unless I was on the ground floor.
Shame no lifts for Caspers Push chair.
It's difficult carrying it down all those stairs!
The flowers were very cheery at reception 💐made me smile!
They look like fresh Flowers 🌺 too!
Lovely ambience in the dining area.
Complete with cushions!
Like you said everything matching in warm orange very posh!
I'd love to eat in there very relaxing place in fact it's made me hungry now!
I always want some sort of Fish food after I've been watching your vlogs Tim!!
Hot Crab & Horseradish sounds tasty, my tummy is rumbling!
Gabys Brownie looked very well represented!
Chocolate & Raspberry.
And I fancy that Creme Brulee too!
Breakfast looks worth waiting for like good food always is.
Im like you Tim I have draughty massive windows in my house & I hate draughts.
And with the Hotel being by the seafront it will be breezy.
Stunning views over the Sea.
It's expensive but a very lovely experience!
Yes I would like to stay here, but on the ground floor as there isn't a lift.
Just managed to finish typing this before it skips to the next vlog, success!
wow how do you manage to write it all so quick lol
@@WalkWithMeTim my niece was saying I should be be a writer but I haven't got the imagination to write a novel!
But I did always like English at school.
I'm no good at writing comments on other people's vlogs I only do comments on yours!
My fingers just start texting & I'm off!
I cheated slightly this time, managed to pause the vlog so I could get it all down & send it to the right vlog!
Where there's a will there's a way!
Love your videos, stayed at roslin many times, those lamps do actually work they are kind of weird they are connected to the wall sockets, after a bit of messing around they do work lol
I mean the room is very clean do we really need to critique the smell of cleaning products? This place looks amazing. Very nice looking hotel.
Yes because it was super strong and not nice
I knew straight away the little blue box was a record player. We had a white one just like it. Was surprised to see the albums as well. Lovely little place to stay. Touch of nostalgia 🙂
@@davidsworld5837 🤣🤣
Cripes you get around! Dubai, now here? Do you ever get a rest. Smell in room seems strange, but another great video from you and the family. Great!
Hope you had good night tim
It really was a gorgeous hotel... would be nice to have been in the room longer to feel the full benefits.... maybe 2 nights would of been ideal
Only if Tim is paying though! 😜
Hey there Tim, amazing vlog as always! 🎉 you are the #bestpersonintheworld . I once went to Southend on sea I have a horrible experience 😮😮💔 I fell in the sea and almost drown but I was saved by a dolphin. Hope u have a better time tims 😊
Slightly on the pricey side. However £10 each for breakfast and the view I suppose it works out. I did like the balcony, I would have definitely used that. I’m a sucker for cheese garlic bread and chips from a local takeout. It’s especially important when the restaurant portions are small😢 I think for a wedding anniversary it would be a nice treat but a long way for me from Sheffield. Great video guys, thanks for sharing 😊
yes I've always thought it's very pricey but you get what u pay for it is nice!
I personally feel that it's always worth paying that little bit extra for short stays. If you're staying in a hotel for a week then go for something a bit cheaper but still with modest standards. I've been considering this place for a future wedding anniversary or birthday
Looks lovely thanks sharing 🎉.. pillow gate😂, when i have friends over i have 2 feather and 2 fibre ones to choose from..personally duck down every time😴
Love your videos. Such a beautiful family. Hotel looks wonderful too.
thanks Jason
Well it's very nice no one can deny that personally I would sling all them scatter cushions in the corridor I don't like them but each to their own. It would be very nice to sit on the balcony when the weather gets warmer great video keep em coming.
thanks Heathcote
thats my home town Tim, we are just a mile away, havent been there for years, oh , and i really hated the awful cabinet in the room!!!!i see the waiting time for food isnt any better! looks good since it has been done up and made bigger
It was nice, but Wow !
In Aus for $450 which is £219 equivalent I’d get a suite in a 5 star place over looking the Beach.
But, it’s a nice place, quirky eh 🌻🌻
I live in Southend and stayed here. Best hotel around for sure! The breakfast is out of this world!
when we received it lol
Thorpe bay land of the tacky mc mansion. Not all of it but becoming a laughing stock
I think my late cousin's daughter might still work the bar there, or used to anyway.
Orange makes me think of Howard Johnson's in America. I don't see many ( any? ) of them anymore. No one knows why, but now I go all around saying "I'm gutt 'ed now when things aren't quite up to expectations. LOL. I sure enjoy your videos.
Hi Tim , Gaby and Casper Looks like a lovely hotel . Not to sure about the cupboard with the record player in . Love the seaside theme my Hall and landing are seaside themed . Looks a bit different to Dubai 😊. Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you all as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
