Lovely hotel right on the sea front sadly I booked late so had a room at the back! It was ok! Room comfortable but very dated and tatty had all I needed though! Didnt eat there, barman was nice and a drink on the terrace was lovely! The receptionist was very kind and changed my room from the basement as I was travelling solo! I would stay again but a sea view room which looked so much better!

As always, the Imperial offers comfort, courtesy, friendliness and consistency. In our ever-changing world these things really matter. The sea front location is still just a short walk from the charming town centre. So many small shops, cafes, restaurants to suit all tastes (and pockets) - an absolute delight for the discerning traveller.

Charming and welcoming

Yet another lovely stay at the Imperial Hotel. Such a charming, homely place. Yes it does need a bit of TLC in places but the staff and welcome of this hotel more than makes up for that. Everything was very clean and our room which was one of their superior doubles with sea view which had amazing views of the estuary, sea front and the gardens. It was lovely to see the squirrels scampering around! We stayed dinner, bed and breakfast which we thought was really good value. The breakfast had plenty of choice and was nice and hot, the evening meals were superb - such a choice and all different each day. There is also bar meals available all day if you wish. It's a dog friendly hotel but they have a separate dining room for dogs and owners. The hotel location is really good and there is a bus stop just at the front. The beach, the promenade are just at the front of the hotel and the park at the rear. Town is just across the park - lots of cafes in the square to watch the world go by!
