We have just returned after a 4 day break in Torquay. The Sandpiper our choice of guest house was excellent. Debbie & Denise our hosts were most welcoming and made us feel quite at ease nothing was too much trouble. The Sandpiper is in a quite location, our room was very nice and modern and the cleanliness of the guest house was extremely good. As for the breakfast it was first class and plentiful. We would certainly recommend the Sandpiper and intend to return ourselves in the future. In walking distance is Chelston Manor , defiantly worth a look

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.
