Osborne Hotel

Whilst there is little doubting that Torquay has perhaps more quality hotels and guest houses per square mile than any other resort in the British Isles, the magnificence of Torquay’s Osborne Hotel is something else entirely, the property possessing the kind of visual impact traditionally reserved for lavish royal residences and Persian icons. Curling like an ivory garland amongst the lush fauna of Meadfoot Bay and overlooking six acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, the Osborne Hotel offers extraordinary views of the South Devon coastline, its regal crescent shape pressed snugly into the rugged cliff walls around it, making it private and secluded. The Crescent originally called “Meadfoot Crescent” was renamed “Hesketh Crescent” in 1849 after the first child of the property's original owner, Lord Haldon, of Haldon, Devon.

Leisure facilities at the Osborne Hotel include a heated indoor swimming pool plus the Hesketh’s Health and Fitness Suite comprising a 33 stage gymnasium with state of the art equipment and sauna. An outdoor swimming pool is also maintained for use during the summer season. Guests can also enjoy private use of the tennis courts.

Langtrys Restaurant offers fine romantic dining restaurant and boasts spectacular views across Torquay bay. The restaurant itself provides a far-reaching selection of creative dishes and regional specialities. The Brasserie with its informal, friendly atmosphere, bright décor and smart wooden flooring, serves a superior selection of light snacks and more substantial fare – R4U
