The hotel building and location are lovely. The main issues we faced at the hotel was they had a wedding reception there, we were not informed of this when we booked. Certain areas were restricted such as the outside terrace that we would like to have used. We dined in the restaurant, however the customer service received was not to the standard expected from a 4* hotel, as staff’s main focus was dealing with the wedding guests, we felt pushed aside and as if we was intruding. The hotel is quite expensive so not being able to experience the facilities is very poor and we feel ripped off Breakfast area taken over by wedding guests, noisy and not the experience it should of been. The receptionist did not even ask how was your stay when checking out!! Standard customer service not given !!

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.

Nice location shame the indoor pool was 2 cold.
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.

Our long weekend break.
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.
