We were disappointed that the top floor was not open to visitors (January) and although we understand that it is necessary in order to clean and maintain, there was no warning of this upon booking. So, we found having to pay the full ticket price a bit steep. But the overall experience is good - the grounds and the walk down to the beach was good and everywhere is well kept and very clean.

I haven't visited Osborne House for many years, and I thought that there were many improvements regarding information in the rooms etc., It all seemed much brighter than I remembered it. And the icing on the cake for me was that we were allowed in the cottage - we couldn't do that on my last visit. The only downside was queueing for a coffee at the beach cafe, the service was more than slow, I think some improvement could be made there. Otherwise, a most enjoyable day out.

A wonderful day out. I used my mobility scooter to explore the grounds. Though I couldn't use it around the house itself (understandably) I was able with my walking stick to explore virtually all areas open to the public. There is a lift up to the private rooms and everybody was very helpful and informative. The only part I could not reach was the very top floor, the nursery as this needed climbing a large staircase. The house is so opulent and interesting, the grounds beautiful and wonderfully maintained. It's a brilliant day out for everybody.
