Last update: January 2026

Idyllically situated in beautiful Torquay, South Devon, the Osborne Hotel is a luxurious wedding venue with 33 modern and stylish bedrooms. Tucked away from the town centre near Torquay Marina, you'll find unobstructed and secluded views across the bay. With a panorama encompassing the iconic Thatcher's Rock, Shagg Rock, and colourful seaside beach huts, the sensation is one of total privacy while having all the benefits of a central location.

Facilities and Capacity

The Osborne Hotel grounds are full of secret spots for beautiful photos while providing ample opportunity to entertain guests. Following the path through the palm trees, you will find a gate leading to Meadfoot Beach, where you can take those enviable coastal wedding photos. Licensed for civil ceremonies and partnerships, the hotel offers plenty of charming settings to finally say "I do". After beginning your day in one of the gorgeous sea-facing rooms, you can make your long-anticipated entrance in the lavish Lounge. Adorned with chandeliers, this opulent ceremony room can seat up to 65 guests. Adjoining this waterfront setting is The Cresent Suite, whose bright, contemporary interiors are ideal for a wedding breakfast and reception for up to 120 guests. What's more, the suite features a bar and private entrance for ease and exclusivity. For more intimate gatherings, the wood-panelled Library is made for cosy, personal ceremonies. Rich with vintage charm, it can seat up to 20 guests. Each of these elegant rooms can be used individually throughout the day before being transformed into one large event space for the evening celebrations by pulling back the connecting concertina doors. Alternatively, you can always embrace the surrounding beauty by hosting an outdoor ceremony on the beautiful terrace overlooking the sea before letting loose with a marquee wedding.

Services Offered

From the wedding breakfast to the evening party buffet, the Osborne Hotel culinary team are here to help you create your dream menu. They can cater to all tastes and special requirements, ensuring your guests will have a carefree dining experience. If you want something a little different, the experienced wedding team is ready to inspire you with everything from afternoon tea to traditional fish and chips. Whether you enjoy a sparkling glass of bubbly, a handcrafted gin or a local ale, the venue has an extensive range of luxury beverages to celebrate your special day.

Our Wedding 11/10/2025

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of the incredible staff at The Osborne Hotel. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect and that’s all thanks to the most hardworking and caring team! Haidee and the rest of the team are genuinely the nicest bunch of people you’d ever hope to come across, nothing was too much of an ask and they could not have been more welcoming or accommodating.

We felt that we were in such safe hands in the run up to our wedding. Any and all questions (no matter how daft) were answered with the utmost care and respect. They were also super knowledgeable about local vendors and were more than happy to recommend other small businesses.

The day itself went perfectly. The food was exceptional! We’ve had so many family members say they will be returning as hotel guests from now on. The bar staff were so friendly and felt like part of the party!

The location itself is beautiful. We were blessed with good weather on the day, so we could say our vows outdoors overlooking the bay. Something we’ve dreamed of for so long. Our photographer really enjoyed the quick access to Meadfoot Beach for some fun seaside photos on the evening!

Once again, thank you so so much to all of you. We will always be greatful to The Osborne Hotel for making our wedding day so perfect.

- Becky & Kirsten 🖤

Fantastic Hotel!

The Osborne Hotel team are fantastic! The attention to detail is impeccable. Our day ran without a hitch all thanks to the work and dedication behind the scenes. They were always on hand if we needed anything, no matter how small. Questions repeatedly answered. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly highly recommend for your big day!

Excellent venue and service

We cannot recommend the Osborne wedding team highly enough. They were super responsive, flexible, listened to what we said and were very attentive.

Despite on our day the weather was not with us, the alternative arrangements for a ceremony inside went very smoothly.

The wedding breakfast food quality was great, the wine great, the waiting staff brilliant.

In the evening the bar staff were lovely and joined in the fun.

Mr & Mrs Richardson

My overall experience with the Osbourne hotel was good .. like any wedding there were hiccups and I’d definitely say room for improvement in areas regarding organisation e.g rushing us to do our speech’s but hadn’t gotten the toast drinks ready..
giving me my phone back from the music when we needed it for the terrace and during food so I had to sort that and then a different playlist was played, little problems like so. however it didn’t ruin my day. It was still an amazing destination to get married at.

Wedding Day 9th June 2023

The amazing team at The Osborne Hotel went above and beyond to make our day so special. All our guests were so in love with the scenery, accommodation and the staff. Haidee and the team are truly brilliant and didn’t fail to take our dream wedding to the next level. Everything from the food to the decor and dealing with things that I forgot to organise, they deserve more than just 5 stars. We will definitely be recommending them to everyone we know. The Osborne Hotel/team hold a special place in our hearts always.

Gorgeous View and Fantastic Service

My wife and I just wanted to say thank you to the wedding team staff and the hotel wedding coordinator - Haidee. The reception looked amazing and we're very impressed with how everything turned out. We also loved the food. The canapes tasted great and the sit-down food tasted better than we first tasted it which we're very surprised about. In addition, from our perspective, everything was handled very smoothly and because of it, our guests, family and ourselves had a really great time. It was a pleasure working with you and good luck on your future weddings!

It was short notice so given the circumstances, great work!

We were impressed by the willingness to help despite an out of season late notice request. All the stops were pulled out and the newbie event manager was a calming and yet dynamic presence. The general short staffing in hospitality over this period was the only thing that was in evidence. Under easier circumstances, I'm sure the Osborne can pull it out of the bag every time.

Perfect Day

After postponing a couple of times on Saturday we had the perfect day. Lisa was excellent and always responded to my numerous emails prior to the day. We had 30 guests including us, we had our ceremony on the terrace underneath the new gazebo. The food was wonderful and everyone enjoyed their meal. It was the perfect setting and we couldn't have wished for anything more.
