"My mother and I stayed here the night before starting a cruise which left from Tilbury. We ate a tasty dinner at the hotel bar and a great breakfast the next morning. The hotel arranged for a taxi to take us to the boat which was great! The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and had all the necessities. We would stay here again if we take another cruise leaving from Tilbury."

"Knowledgeable staff"

"Thought the area and hotel was brilliant, was slightly disappointed with the superior room, thought it would be better standard. Expected a better room instead of the attic space that we got ,apart from that great location and peaceful. "

"comfortable"

"This is our second stay at The Derougemont Manor and it was great. This time we stayed in a family room which had plenty of space for a family of four including a travel cot. The staff were very friendly and helpful and remembered us from our previous visit. Breakfast was very tasty and had a good range for continental options. We look forward to staying again soon."

"Excellent hotel, great view, good facilities "

"Nice room overlooking the garden with thoughtful extras. However, the boiler had broken down so we had no hot water in the morning. This was compensated by giving us a free breakfast."

"Noise from within the hotel during the night. Thin walls? When the fire alarm sounded in the night, guests gathered at the front of the hotel. It was quite some time before any staff appeared to offer guidance and explanations. The 'Deluxe Queen Room' on arrival was nothing like the picture when booked. The lack of a shower was strange: the bath mixer taps were extremely temperamental."

"Staff were excellent. The hotel was clean, food excellent however the hotel was tried and needs updateing. Excellent position for getting into London. "

"Property looked amazing until taking a closer look especially the bathroom, the bath had not been cleaned properly and had hairs in it and there was mould on the ceiling. Could do with a heated mirror or better extraction as the mirror took ages to clear after showering. The staff at the cafe were all helpful and the food was excellent."
