Night away for mother's 75th
Lovely hotel with lovely grounds on the seafront would have been better if there wasn't heavy wind and rain but made the most of it big shout out to bar staff Freddy and Pete who came out with my mums cake singing Happy birthday

Great location. We had a lovely sea view room which was very comfortable. Bit of an issue with the TV but staff very helpful and swapped the TV. Very good value. We would definitely stay again.

Good value for Money and right on the seafront.
Breakfast catered well for gluten intolerance (Coeliac).
The decor was a little dated but overall no complaints what-so-ever about this aspect of the hotel.
There is a charge for car-parking but at £6 for 1 night who cares!

Imperial Exmouth
The Imperial is adequate for a one night stay. Bar area was clean and staff friendly and service amenable. Bedrooms are clean. Bed was ok. Room extremely hot, fan in room didn’t help.
Did not try hotel meals so cannot comment on standards etc.

It was perfect for our stay with our dog. The room having direct access into the gardens was ideal. We will definitely book here again when we visit next time.

Lovely stay
Visited for a short holiday and to visit family. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Room was fine. We usually stayed in premier inn at Exmouth and tried this hotel for a change. Not much difference except we had a balcony, staff were nicer and more helpful and was cheaper to stay and park. Would definitely stay again. The hotel is pet friendly so there were some people staying with their dogs. We didn’t mind.

Great location but worst bed ever.
Excellent location virtually on dog friendly beach. Sea view room very strongly advised.
Our only but major complaint was the mattress which should have been replaced years ago. Both sides collapsed, one side so bad it needed a rolled towel placed under it to stop you rolling off the edge.

Just an overnight stay before a party. Never stayed in Exmouth before, but have visited many times. The hotel is ideally placed with fabulous garden space. The beach is always a treat but a short walk from the entrance to the hotel, there’s a lovely town square/piazza surrounded by bars and eateries

A nice surprise
Always thought of the Imperial as an old fashioned hotel. Very wrong - a nice surprise.
