History of the hotel

The stunning Grade 2 listed building was originally a grand private manor named 'Litchdon House', home to one of Barnstaple's wealthiest families. In 1898, it became a 'family hotel' and was extended over the years to become the iconic building it is today.

Many historic character features have been preserved, including the ornamental ironwork balconies and the bay windows, which give the building a wonderfully elegant atmosphere. The hotel oozes historical charm and you will sense the long tradition of warm hospitality that has been enjoyed at this 4 Star hotel for well over a century. 

Does The Imperial Hotel allow dogs?

Dogs are only permitted in Standard rooms in the River Court Building (annex to the main hotel and accessed via a separate entrance) and not in public areas of the main hotel unless outdoors. Please contact us for dog friendly room availability.  The dog charge is £15 per night, per dog.
