No 1 Sovereign’s Gate at Osborne

No 1 Sovereign’s Gate is a two-bedroom holiday cottage that comfortably sleeps four people, with one bedroom being conveniently located on the ground floor. Sovereign’s Gate was commissioned by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as the formal entrance to Osborne. Although not used by visitors to Osborne today, it remains the entrance by which members of the royal family enter the estate. Today, Sovereign’s Gate is two holiday cottages, each sleeping up to four guests and offering modern comforts and contemporary design. Each cottage (No 1 Sovereign’s Gate and No 2 Sovereign’s Gate) has its own private garden with outdoor seating and a barbeque, two bedrooms, a kitchen, lounge and dining room. Guests can also access the beach at all times, including after opening hours to the general public. Included in your booking is a luxury hamper, as well as entry to all English Heritage sites and most events, 10% off in our shops and cafés during your stay.
