Our stay at Sandpiper guest house was superb from start to finish. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the host whom was very polite and helpful. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Harbour was roughly a 15 min walk and the breakfast was very good. We would recommend staying here for anyone travelling to Torquay and we will definitely be returning.

I don't usually review but ......The Sandpiper staff were lovely, very pleasant and helpful. I don't think I've ever stayed in a hotel/guest house that was cleaner than The Sandpiper. The breakfast was superb. All the usual breakfast choices. Really enjoyed my stay there. Defo will be back next year.

An exceptional stay at the Sandpiper guest house with an excellent breakfast included in the price. The hosts Debbie and Denise are very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. My room was spotless as was the en suite. Biscuits and water were a welcome added touch. Slept well as it was very quiet and the bed was spacious and comfortable. Free parking at the property was a bonus. Well situated for a walk to Torquay seafront or the Princess theatre or as a base for exploring the surrounding area.

A welcoming and friendly stay

Had a wonderful stay at the Sandpiper. From the moment of arrival it was the perfect guest house experience. I felt welcome and "at home". My room was lovely, and comfortable, and the breakfast room and lounge were also great. And the quality of the breakfast was outstanding. I would definitely stay here again when I am back in Torquay! Thanks so much for a lovely time.

Amazing stay, great food and the best hospitality.

Amazing stay from start to finish. We had a family room which was a great size. On our first night we enjoyed a drink from the bar whilst we sat in the garden and the kids were entertained by Denise. 😍 Hospitality was amazing. Breakfast was great. Thank you so much for a lovely stay, we would definetly return and would highly recommend.

My dad and I had travelled down for a family funeral, so very much appreciated how lovely Sandpiper and the owners were.The entire experience of staying at Sandpiper was excellent. Seemless check in. Clean bedrooms. Breakfast was delicious and well organsied. The owners were so friendly. It was like staying at a friends house. I would 100% recommend staying there and I would definitely stay again. I particularly liked the honesty bar. There was plenty to chose from, whenever you fancied something, prices were good. Checkout was also seemless and both owners came to see us off and asked us how our stay was. You can tell how much love has gone into this guest house. Thank you so much.

Upon arrival warm and friendly greeting, reception has an honesty bar with alcoholic drinks,water,soft drinks, chocolate, crisps, nibbles etc. once booked in shown to room with room facilities explained.Room very clean and tidy, en suite with toilet, sink and shower. Tea, coffee, milk, sugar, sweeteners, hot chocolate and biscuits on tray all refreshed daily, daily housekeeping, Wi-Fi and TV in room. Breakfast is pre ordered with a good range of options well cooked/prepared and presented. Choice of breakfast at 08:30 or 09:00 plenty of tea and coffee available. The building is well presented we were in room six had three plain walls and a feature wall which had birds of paradise flowers in the pattern, this was picked up by two artificial bird of paradise plants placed on a wall picking up the pattern of the feature wall (shows thought gone into decoration), each room is decorated in a different style. Main staircase to bedrooms was immaculate, there was a bar on the lower level but we did not use this, car parking on site for about six vehicles. The hosts could not have been any more polite nor attentive and clearly enjoy what they are doing and have achieved. Would definitely return again
