An outstanding hotel - All the staff were well trained, friendly and efficient.
The meals in the restaurant were of a very high quality, - good choices at Breakfast and Dinner
A very warm welcome at Reception, a very nice and very clean room, fabulous service across the whole hotel and really excellent food (both breakfast and especially dinner). We couldn't have asked for better!
Thought our stay was extremely comfortable and staff very welcoming
A shame the lift was not in operation but this did not spoil our visit
If you want luxury, comfort and great service then come here. Food is good and plentiful and changes every day. Staff are very friendly and go out of thier way to ensure you have everythong you need.
From telephone booking and throughout visit, everything was excellent! Very comfortable, well
appointed room, service in restaurant, lounge and bars was always polite, friendly, professional
and efficient! Not our first visit, we will doubtless seek to come again!
The old-fashioned ambiance and unfussy service made our stay very enjoyable. The staff were extremely attentive and always helpful.
Great location
Lovely food
We thoroughly enjoyed our our valentine weekend stay. Everything from room food and service was excellent and could not be faulted in any way. Looking forward to going back again.
A beautiful hotel in a good location. The staff are exemplary and made us feel valued. Lovely rooms and top quality food.
An excellent hotel for food comfort and service. A good location for seeing the sites and beaches of North Devon.
A top quality Hotel in every way. Service amenities food and drink all good value. The tasteful and appropriate live music from the male crooner on Friday evening, the saxophonist and the female singer on Sunday evening made the Valentine's weekend even more special. This Hotel sets the the "bar" at a very high level at an acceptable cost.
The hotel was clean, spacious and perfectly located as a base to get around the local area. All the staff that I met were warm and friendly. My room was large, airy and bright and had a first class walk in shower and bathroom facilities. It was also very quiet, leading to 3 great nights sleep.
Nothing
Excellent food and service in a lovely hotel. Dinner, bed and breakfast package was great value for money.
We thought that post Covid the menu would be shorter and there would be fewer staff but everything was still at the high Brend Hotels' standard. It's worth paying a bit extra for a river view if you are spending a lot of time indoors.Sadly the town centre is suffering from several nearby supermarkets. Local bus services are nearby with a good service to Bideford and Ilfracombe. If you are capable of getting to the top deck you have glorious views of the Devon countyrside.
We always look froward to our visit to The Imperial, and have never had a bad experience. Staff are always please to see you, make you welcome, and undoubtedly would do anything that you need. A very bice touch is that they have a record of "dietary requirements" ana will say if something may not be suitable. They will always offer an alternative, and/or mix and match to suit taste. Bedrooms are great especially if you get a front room with a nice view of the river. The hotel is exceptionally clean & well maintained.
As part of the Brend group we have come to expect high standards, lovely rooms, great food and friendly atmosphere. We were not disappointed. Everything about this place reflects the attention to detail by the friendly professional staff. I could go on but I think you get the picture. Barnstaple itself has upped its game with new shops etc. So this hotel on the edge of the town is the ideal stay.
Excellent hotel. Lovely welcome. Comfortable room. Spotlessly clean. Comfy bed. Lovely towels. Food Excellent. A very relaxing visit. All staff helpful and smiling. Will def return
Warm, comfortable traditional hotel with all amenities in the centre of Barnstaple with lovely river views, excellent food and service.
