The Osborne Hotel

My recent stay at the Osborne Hotel was absolutely wonderful—this hotel has quickly become one of my favourite places in the UK. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I had stepped into a different world: dramatic sea views, historic architecture, peaceful surroundings, and a sense of timeless charm that’s hard to describe. The setting is simply breathtaking—panoramic views of the sea and cliffs greet you the moment you step out the front door. The hotel grounds are beautifully maintained and peaceful, making it feel like a private retreat far away from the bustle of town. There’s a true sense of tranquillity here, which makes it ideal for anyone looking to unwind, reflect, or simply breathe deeply and reset. I loved my daily breakfast in the elegant dining room—there was always a warm welcome, and the staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and down to earth. The food was delicious, with a lovely buffet selection alongside cooked options, and the window seating overlooking the gardens made every breakfast feel luxurious and serene. My room was warm, comfortable, and beautifully furnished. I especially appreciated being able to control the heating myself—such a small detail, but it made all the difference. Everything was clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully arranged. The Osborne feels like a hotel out of time. It’s no wonder that during the Victorian era, artists, writers, and philosophers returned here again and again. With its inspiring views, sea air, and calming atmosphere, it’s the kind of place where your mind can wander and your soul can rest. It’s a rare gem that offers history, beauty, and comfort in perfect harmony. I’m already planning my return visit—this time for 8 nights in a junior suite. That’s how special this place is. Thank you to the entire Osborne team for a truly unforgettable stay. You all were so amazingly kind and helpful and the service was top notch.

The location was ideal for all the local tourist such as Babbacombe Model Village, Kents Caverns and Bygones. It is also a great location to get access to the beach and coast and has breathtaking views of the coast towards Berry Head, Brixham and Paignton. The hotel has a wonderful old nostalgic feel about it and is in amazing condition for its age. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and the food in the restaurant is exceptional and delicious with service very prompt and efficient. The beds were very comfortable and the room was very clean making the stay at the hotel all the more pleasant and enjoyable.

The hotel is a lovely place with very good quality views overlooking the sea

Room and view exceeded expectations. Cooked breakfast very good. Continental breakfast could be better, poor lighting and display. Catering front of house Staff well trained but need to give a little more attention to detail. The outdoor pool area was lovely and inviting and well organised.

Wonderfully situated with stunning views. The indoor pool was clean and warm. The room was spotless, well furnished and bright. The staff were friendly and attentive.
