The Sandpiper was a perfect base from which to explore Devon and Cornwall. The room was well equipped and comfortable and our host made us feel welcome and provided us with a wealth of information and ideas for day trips. Then there was the breakfast - a superb full English breakfast was served in a beautiful room. I highly recommend The Sandpiper as a perfect place to stay in Torquay.

What a beautiful guest house. Fantastic location. Very clean and modern. Lots of extras to this place. Nice big lounge where you can sit. Nice tables to sit outside. Honesty bar which was very reasonable, you could take beer, wine, spirits, snacks and chocolates place money in dish on the side. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice. Debbie and Denise were first class hosts. Very friendly and give us good information about area and where to visit. Car park front of house. Will definitely be booking again.

A friendly warm welcome from Debbie and Denise awaits you at the Sandpiper. We stayed in a double en suite room to the front of the building which was very quite, nicely decorated, comfortable bed, tea/coffee tray and toiletries provided with the brilliant white, fluffy towels. Breakfast is pre-order the night before and there was plenty of choice, good quality and good portions. Extra tea/coffee and toast is also available, served with a smile and chat from your hosts. The Sandpioer is just a short stroll down to Torbay,shops,theatre, amusements and boat trips. You don't need to drive if you want a local restaurant from seafood, fish and chips, Beefeater and local pubs on the doorstep. We couldn't fault anything during our stay and will certainly be back. We would highly recommend the Sandpiper.

From the moment Denise greeted us with a warm and friendly hello I knew we had chosen the right place to stay. She showed us to our room which was spacious and beautifully decorated. The bathroom was equally as spacious and spotlessly clean. After a great nights sleep in a very comfy bed we headed for our pre ordered breakfast. Gluten free options included. There was a good choice available but we went for the full English. All the produce used comes from local suppliers and tasted delicious. We were offered as much tea/coffee and toast as we wanted. Debbie was looking after us and chatted to everyone, making sure we had everything we needed. The sandpiper is tucked away at the end of a quiet street. Easy to walk into Torquay from there. It is on a bit of an incline but nothing too taxing. Both Denise and Debbie were very knowledgeable about things to do and places to go. All in all a lovely place to stay with parking on site , fabulous hosts and we wouldn’t hesitate to go back there if we’re back in Torquay.
