We must preface this review by pointing out that our Monday-Friday stay coincided with a very cloudy, cold, wet and windy spell of weather; so we were expecting the Hotel to react to this - it became very relevant. Our initial "standard" room looked very basic with only a "seaview" of trees; so at quite high cost we upgraded to... More

Firstly we were not aware this was a Shearings hotel as it is not mentioned anywhere on the website. The food was awful - bland and mushy! The hotel was advertised as being refubished - this obviously had not reached our room which was very tired. The bed squeaked - as did the one next door as we could hear... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Imperial. This is the best Shearings we have stayed at. The bedroom was exceptional, the dining area and lounges were above average. The staff as always were very friendly and could not be more helpful. Meals were not as good as other Shearings we have stayed at but did improve later in the week... More

April 16th - 20th . An enjoyable relaxing break for us in our mid sixties to celebrate a birthday. Travelling from North Devon on our bus passes the hotel was only a very short walk from the Strand bus stop. The Imperial was an ideal choice for us, very comfortable beds, lounge furniture, the dining room was excellent. We had... More

Went for a 3 night Easter break at The Imperial, part of the Coast & Country Hotel group. A really grand old-fashioned type hotel building, beautifully situated right opposite Exmouth's lovely sandy beaches. Plenty of car parking and the hotel is just a few minutes walk into the main town so you have everything on your doorstep. Our room was... More

After reading the previous reviews I felt I had to pass comment. We have just spent Easter at The Imperial and could not find anything wrong with our stay. The room (Premier) was excellent and the food very good value for money. We have been to several of the hotels in the Shearings group and have found this to be... More

We spent the weekend of 23-26 March at the Imperial Hotel, Exmouth as part of Coast and Country's "award winning breaks" and were disappointed and appalled by the number of issues and concerns we experienced during our stay. It is sad to see the many similar concerns and complaints about this hotel, which have a striking similarity to ours, are... More
