It’s an interesting look into the life of Queen Victoria and her family. It’s a bit disappointing that there isn’t more information as you go around but the volunteers are excellent.
Stunning stately house, full of history. must do if you are in the island. The Indian inspired room was just beautiful. Lovely garden with a nice walk down to the private beach of Queen Victoria.
An unforgettable experience to visit Osborne House such a warm house where you can see the real Queen Victoria and things she held dear
Highly recommend Queen Victoria’s retreat, the house is stunning, lovely walks to her private beach and Swiss cottage. A step back in time and a wonderful place.
Must watch Victoria & Abdul movie before you come here.
Queen Victoria’s Home ... location for ‘Victoria & Abdul’ & ‘Mrs Brown’ ... 2 great films of her later life!
Lavishly decorated Italianate villa purchased by Queen Victoria as a Summer residence. Run by English heritage.
Provides a very intimate view into the life and death of Queen Victoria and her family. The grounds are beautiful in all weather. Hopefully they will spend a few quid replastering some of the rooms.
It worth spending time in the gardens and especially strolling down to the beach
Where Queen Victoria died.
Go to the beach are and Swiss cottage
Gorgeous house. Some of the restoration didn't seem genuine, like paint work and carpets but it was interesting to see an insight into their home life.
Must go the children's swiss cottage. Utterly delightful.
Must see on the IoW.
A must see on the IoW, but the cafe is best avoid unless you like platic-y baguettes courtesy of Elior.
Don't forget to go onto the terrace and the walled garden will be an explosion of colour in summer.
Stunning views. Don't forget to walk down to Queen Victoria's private beach in order to check out her 'bathing machine'.
Very interesting place to explore, lots of photography opportunities. Wasn't that much choice between food in the cafe though
