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.
Absolutely loved staying here, Debbie and Denise, the owners, are friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spotless and modern. It is very quiet, even though it is near Torquay Bay. Their breakfast is fantastic, so many options and you can pick whatever you want. We are returning next year. Highly recommend.
Really nice B & B in Torquay. In quite residential area but only a few minutes walk from station or town. Nice rooms and plenty of options for breakfast
A wonderful stay at The Sandpiper. Clean, nicely decorated rooms offering a comfortable and quiet stay. A warm and friendly welcome from our hosts Denise and Debbie made our stay even more enjoyable. Delicious breakfasts too!
My partner and I stayed for two nights, and it was absolutely wonderful. We received a very warm welcome and felt so comfortable during our stay. We spoke with Debbie and Denise daily and had chats about what we were doing that day and what we could do. The location was ideal, and it was around a 10-minute walk to the beach. We stayed in room number 8, which was a top floor room. It was spacious, and the temperature stayed cool throughout our stay. The bed was very comfortable and we both enjoyed our sleep. Although we didn't have breakfast (we aren't morning people ), we can say it smelt delicious! We highly recommend The Sandpiper Guest House to anyone wanting to stay in Torquay. Thank you so much ladies for having us and hope to see you soon
