The best two things about the Imperial Hotel, Torquay were the scrumptious sausages and the panoramic view from the Dining Room.  I stayed here on a 5 day, all inclusive package in August and thought that it really was good value for money.  I was quite impressed with the food, well presented and all rather tasty, especially the sausages which I would like to think were locally produced, although I didn’t ask, because they really were yummy!

A slightly old-fashioned four-star hotel, but still retaining a regal elegance from the Victorian era, it had a fantastic cliff-top location and the view across the bay was outstanding.  I couldn’t wait for the evening meal, it was so beautiful and a lovely atmosphere to dine in.

Just a short walk into town and right in the middle of the English Riviera, it couldn’t have been better situated for exploring the Devon coastline and perhaps a little too comfortably lovely, as I couldn’t wait to get back and soak up the ambiance after a long day sightseeing.
