Beautiful hotel stay with some recommendations

It was a lovely stay with mostly positive feedback. The pool was fantastic. We had an amazing time relaxing and swimming. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The family room was spacious, clean and comfortable. It was really hot in the rooms but a 2nd fan was given and all was sorted. I have two complaints, which o think are really important which is why I’m mentioning them. Firstly the 150£ deposit should be made clear before booking, and is quite excessive. I only brought along a small amount of spending money so thank goodness I was able to put it on my credit card - however if I never had a credit card what would I have done?? I travel for work and have never had to put in such a large deposit. Secondly the hotel menu was very expensive for very standard food :( For the prices you charge food should be far above average. Luckily the little cafe on the beach did some dinners and we were able to eat there partly All in all this is a fantastic hotel and I would love to come back but really hope you consider your customers recommendation to make an even more amazing hotel 😊 Thanks for having us

One good room one bad

The first night was awful. Wee were given a room which was over the kitchen and had the most awful humming noise all night long - we could not sleep. The obsosly have had complaints about this room in the past but seem to ignore them and continue to to put guests in there. After several complaints and phone calls while on our day trip out we finally got them to move us to an alternative room which was 100% better. Shame we could not have had this from the start. The problem with the room was compounded with the poor service in the restaurant on the evening. Both meals had important elements missing form them and when this was pointed out it was rectified, but not in a nice way. No onion rings and the no avocado in an chicken and avocado salad! After we finished we were left sitting at the table. nobody asked is about desert or coffee, in the end we had to get up and leave to get anybody attention. We booked this hotel for a very special birthday treat and spent more because it was rated 4 star, even though it is in a lovely position and the hotel is nice, it was not the experience we had hoped for and left feeling very disappointed.

We loved our stay with you. The hotel was so well kept and so clean everywhere. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and airy. I like the touch of water provided each day and the small packets of biscuits. We loved sun bathing by the swimming pool ,but some of the sunbeds could do with a good clean, which only takes seconds with a pressure washer. We wished we had a longer stay, but we work for several charities and don't have much free time to ourselves. My only complaint is the rather strange Restaurant Menu; lamb dumplings and pork chop marinated in Harissa ,Greek chicken gyros !. We are in Torquay ,not Athens ! Several guests were complaining to each other, as not happy with the menu ,not what you would expect from a hotel of this calibre. We hope to return soon for another relaxing break. please put us down on the list for any special offers etc.

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.

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.

It was great, we were very happy with the room. However I had a bit of a ladys emergency during our stay. I checked all the rest rooms to see if you had a machine to buy sanitary products, there were none available. I plucked up the courage to ask the lady on reception, she explained that they had sanitary products in the establishment, but they were for staff only, I was pretty desperate by this point and being a women herself I thought she would have understood how desperate I was. This meant that I had to get my children out of the pool to go and find a shop to get myself some sanitary products. This didn’t really effect our stay, but I would have rather her of lied and said they didn’t have any, it was very unhelpful to my situation if I’m honest.
