We stayed at this lovely guest house for a short honeymoon with our 3-year-old daughter, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. We were a bit worried at first that the room wouldn’t be suitable for a family, but we were pleasantly surprised — it was spotless, comfortable, and had all the amenities we could possibly need. There was absolutely nothing to complain about. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everyone we met was always smiling and friendly. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

The property was spotlessly clean. The room was comfortable, well equipped and light and airy. There was a lovely view from the window of the garden, trees and houses beyond. Denise and Debbie were lovely ladies, friendly, helpful. The breakfast was delicious. A good choice of breakfast items. The location was good, it was handy for the town and seafront.
The property is on a hill so might not be suitable for older or less mobile people. Although there are plenty of taxis available.

Absolutely brilliant, the hospitality and accommodation was best we have experienced. The rooms were spotless, the breakfast was excellent and the owners were really friendly and helpful. We would rate the stay at 10 out of 10.
There was nothing to not like with the Sandpiper Guest house, everything was just right, Debbie and Denise made sure that our stay with them was absolutely the best.

Well maintained clean guest house with free parking. Good quality breakfast and the owners were friendly, helpful interesting people with a great enthusiastic approach to their business.
Would have preferred a bigger room and quite a hilly long walk into the main part of Torquay. However the good standards there make up for it.

The room was spotless, light and airy with lots of windows for a lovely breeze whilst getting ready for the wedding we were attending. The breakfast was delicious, it was hot, freshly made and had everything you could want. The tea was lovely, fresh pot with two cup fulls was perfect. The kids loved the endless orange juice and toast. The ladies who run it were just so lovely. The views from our room were beautiful, the kids liked to watch the train go past in the distance!
The only thing I could say would be a fridge in the room would have been great when travelling with a family lots of snacks need to be refrigerated so we had to travel with a little fridge.

Breakfast was lovely. Debbie & Denise, the hosts, were so friendly and helpful, it was like staying with friends. Nothing was any trouble for them. Facilities are brilliant. So nice to have a lounge area to sit in, rather than having to sit in your room. Lounge also has a large TV. Also had a cellar bar which was great, even though we only used it once. Decor is bright and fresh. Lovely outside space as well. Location good as able to walk into town along the sea front.
Nothing, it was pefect.

High quality breakfast with great choice of menu. All extremely well presented at the table. The Sandpiper Guest House is totally immaculate throughout and a class act to follow. Highly recommendable.
The room could have been slightly warmer overnight for my liking but not a problem.

We were warmly welcomed and during the entire stay we were well taken care of. Breakfast at the Sandpiper is prepared according to personal wishes for each guest. The location of the hotel is quiet and after a short walk you are at the sea und the Harbour. Perfect! We felt very comfortable and recommend a booking at B&B Sandpiper! The Whole in the Wall in Torquay pub has very good food, a good drink selection and live music. You should definitely stop by there.

The owners were exceptional, the room was very comfortable, and the location was perfect apart from the hill, up to the accommodation. I would highly recommend this accommodation.
The room could do with a little refrigerator in it. Other than that, it was a great experience.
