Aerial view of Two-Tree Island, eastern tip The eastern tip of Two-Tree Island lies within square TQ8385. It has a series of pools and dykes which attract birds, especially in the autumn. The extensive salt marsh to the right is rather bleached in August, but will form a roosting area for waders in winter at high tide. The buildings at the centre-right are those around Leigh station. Behind then are the green Belton Hills. Further along the coast above right of centre is Old Leigh.

Value for money hotel, cheap prices for decent facilities. Rooms definitely felt a little dated but were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed using the leisure centre and the breakfast was ok for the money we paid. Parking was free for residents. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

3/5 - Okay

Family from Leigh on Sea, laughed when we told them we were staying on Canvey Island.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

Canvey island is an ordinary small village/town, if you like it there and have already been this hotel is okay in terms of location but if you are going there expecting a beach and bustling town you will be dissatisfied.
