Perfect stay
Lovely welcome from reception and very helpful with information. Breakfast and evening meal at the hotel was excellent room at the back of the hotel was generally quiet apart from the creaky floorboards above us. Ideal spot for exploring the coastal paths and walking into the marina will definitely return.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting
Although the food in the dining room was very good better on some days than others (breakfast and dinner) some of the staff were more helpful and pleasant than others it was very strange to have different waiters every day there was no building of any rapore which you usually have in a hotel

The Osborne hotel is beautifully positioned on what feels like cots own private bay, away from the busier parts of Torquay. It has lovely views, good facilities and friendly, helpful staff. We really enjoyed our three nights.

Great Views and Nice Room
Really lovely hotel with great views. Breakfast a real treat. Rooms are a very generous size and a sea view is beautiful. Don’t like the policy of authorising £150 on your bank card on check in. Not released for 5 to 10 days is not acceptable.

Amazing place but be wary of any planned functions
This hotel was amazing - room was beautiful and paid to have a sea view which was incredible. Breakfast was lovely. The only downside for us was Day 3 when there was a wedding at the hotel. Our room was over the function room so could hear the music and the guests kept us awake standing outside under our room windows drinking. We couldn’t sleep until everyone had departed. The hotel did refund us some money but it dampened the whole experience for us. Would go back but not if there was a wedding on!

Lovely family friendly traditional English hotel.
Very nice older/traditional style hotel in a lovely position. Outdoor pool was perfect for the kids. Good walking distance into Torquay also - kids managed it fine, twice there and back!
Great size family room. Would recommend.

Great location
The Osborne Hotel is in a beautiful location, right on the coast. Our hotel room was extremely clean and very comfy. The only downside was that early in the morning there seem to be doors banging, we’re not sure if it was because we were situated above what we thought was the gym/pool area or something else, although it wasn’t a major problem, it was slightly annoying. The breakfast was good as was the service. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Wow!
We had a beautiful room with a beautiful view. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel at home. The hotel turned our trip away into a great trip away and we will certainly book again next time we go to Torquay.
