Situated in the upmarket Meadfoot area of Torquay, the Osborne Hotel is a striking whitewashed Georgian building at the centre of an elegant Grade II-listed Regency crescent. Perfectly positioned on the seafront, boasting panoramic views of the English Riviera, it's one of the most luxurious hotels in Torbay. Relax in stylish boutique accommodation that rivals many of the more generic seaside offerings - this a coastal retreat with a difference, home to super-contemporary rooms, manicured gardens and blue sea views. Seasonal West Country fare in the restaurant makes for a memorable stay, ideal for families and couples looking for a comfy, modern base to explore the south Devon coast and beyond.
We love following in the footsteps of south Devon's most famous crime author by walking the Agatha Christie Mile from Meadfoot beach along Torquay's seafront.
The Osborne is in the stylish Meadfoot area of Torquay, five minutes' drive from the town centre, with spectacular views and easy access to the beach via its six acres of gardens.

Suited to those after a slightly more lavish seaside escape than the usual, in a peaceful setting just a stone's throw from the hub of Torquay. The beautiful scenery won us over entirely - with palm-fringed lawns that stretch down to the glistening blue seas at Meadfoot beach.
A game of tennis, followed by Pimm's on the terrace with the blue sea in the background, is an afternoon well spent!
