Loved by The Imperial Torquay Hotel guests
"This hotel must have the best views of any on the bay."
"We booked a de-luxe king room with a balcony and sea view."
"The hotel is like it has been plucked out of a poirot movie, grand staircases, Chesterfield sofas, big wingback chairs, beautiful, right up my street."
