Best hotel

A wonderful experience. Friendly staff, well kept gardens and spacious family rooms. Walk to the blue flag beach and explore the coves. Excellent for swimming.

The facilities at the Osborne are excellent, set in idyllic spot overlooking the sea & it felt a very safe environment with multiple activities to keep our family entertained, the outdoor areas were very well kept, housekeeping were a brilliant all round team. Food wise, there was a very good variety on breakfast, with nice ingredients. Negatives: Difficult to park on the grounds but mainly due to wedding events being held there, water pressure low made for difficult showers, doors and windows need some attention (meaning squeaks and bangs were unavoidable,including our door which was very difficult to open and close without waking up the entire floor) .overall excellent stay but Torquay itself has become extortionate with poor quality food at silly prices, activities around the area averaging £65 for an hours event for 2adults and child, can understand why it wasn’t busy,even in August. The hotel is also expensive but you can understand with the facilities it has to maintain.

We had an inland facing room that was affected by the continuous ‘fan’ noise just under our windows. It was quite warm so we needed them to be open all night unfortunately. A bit disappointed by the health club indoor pool complex. The changing facilities were very poor, no lockers/space to change apart from the toilet. The pool was rather cold and the sauna was not hot enough or large enough for more than 2 people. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We ate in the restaurant the first night. I had a nice gammon meal but my wife was given a very dry bun with her burger meal which was very average.

Great hotel in superb location

Slightly disappointed with the standard of cleanliness in our room. One of the cups was dirty on the rim, thick dust on the room phone by the bed and bedside table, hairs in the bath and shelf in the bathroom. For a 4 star rating by the AA we would have expected to have had a duvet cover that hadn't come appart in several places. The wall paper in the room was also bubbled and seamed to be coming away from the wall in a couple of areas which spoilt our overall opinion. On the plus side the view and size of the room were great, the bed was very comfortable and there was ample space for all our clothes. The walk in shower was brilliant and the bath was a good size. All the staff were friendly and efficient. Out side around the pool and patio area was very well presented. Breakfast and room service evening meal was excellent. Overall we would stay here again.

Great location, I know it’s an old establishment, but the floors are wavy , sloping all over the place They can use a luggage caddie for every guest I would go back in a heart beat

It was good overnight. Parking tick. Would have loved a sea view, but my single room was of the rear. Indoor Pool was busy first thing. Breakfast with view was idillic. The one detail and that would have been perfection was that the toaster was only able to do soft or burnt if you put toast through twice! Loved it.

I had a lovely one night stay here. Its seafront location is perfect. It’s got a lovely bar, pools (indoor & outdoor) and an outside terrace. Staff are wonderful and offer a great service. I’ll be back for sure to stay longer next time.

Great views and nice area - away from town centre but as a wheelchair user there are no ramps and access to indoor pool is not possible.

The location by Meadfoot Beach is 2nd to none and is pretty spectacular even in bad weather.
