Osborne House Osborne House

With views across the Solent which reminded Prince Albert of the Bay of Naples, Osborne House is a former royal residence on the Isle of Wight.

Relax on the house’s private bathing beaches, wander through the lavish rooms and soak in the tranquillity of the garden terraces.

When discussing her palatial holiday home, Queen Victoria stated: “It is impossible to imagine a prettier spot”.

Dine like royalty in the elegant Terrace Restaurant and Orangery, or sip some hearty soup in the Petty Officer’s Quarters. There are also two playgrounds for children to discover.
