The Osborne Hotel & Restaurant
Torquay, Devon

The Osborne hotel sits majestically at the centre of an elegant regency crescent overlooking Torbay. The Osborne hotel is large enough to be luxurious yet remains small enough to retain that personal touch. The Osborne Hotel enjoys arguably the most serene and spectacular location in the South Devon area. Situated at the centre of an elegant Regency crescent, it overlooks its own six acres of beautifully landscaped grounds stretching down to Meadfoot Beach, together with stunning views across Torbay. The Osborne Hotel, with its exceptional standards of service and quality at affordable prices, sets the standard you should expect and not simply hope for! The Osborne Hotel offers all the facilities, including both indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools, you would expect from one of Torbay's leading four star hotels, including one of the most exclusive health and leisure suites on the English Riviera, yet remains small enough to retain that personal touch.

Torquay is a town on the south coast of England in the county of Devon which has extended along the coast of Torbay to the extent that it is now inextricably intermingled with the neighbouring town of Paignton. In the 19th century it became a fashionable seaside resort, renowned for its healthy climate it gained a nickname as the English Riviera. Although it has been suggested that Torquay roughly signifies 'Thor's Harbor' (cognate to Tórshavn, Faroe Islands and Þórshöfn, Iceland), a more likely root is the Old English word torr (itself of Celtic origins), which now occurs as tor or torre in place names in Devon and Cornwall.
