“The Imperial Torquay presents a grand, character-filled stay with truly impressive sea views from its bay rooms and dining areas. While some areas hint at their age, the expansive rooms and well-maintained gardens provide a comfortable and atmospheric base for exploring the coast. The value proposition is strong, particularly given the quality of breakfast and the pleasant indoor spa facilities.”
