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

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.

Great location in Torquay.
Great hosts, excellent location. Just what we needed for a few nights away in Torquay. The family room was well thought out with the single beds in the alcoves. Some areas are a little tired but the homeliness over came this. Russ and Helen were very attentive. Breakfast was lovely and great choice. All in all a great stay.

Super Stay
We really enjoyed our 3 night stay. Helen and Russell make you most welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Our room although small, was comfortable and spotless. Complimentary tea tray replenished daily. Breakfast was excellent with a wide choice. The hotel is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within a 10/15 minute walk from the busy sea front. It is also within walking distance of Cockington. We would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely place to stay
We had a family room on the top floor and it was wonderful. We have two children and they had their own beds on each side of the room which they loved because the beds were in hidden areas of the room which meant they could have their own space. Shower and toilet room was bright and beautiful and very up to date. Torquay is a really lovely place the guest house is only 10 min walk to the bay and next time I visit I will definitely come back to stay there. The family are lovely and made us feel very welcome. What a lovely place to end the day! The food is great and they even have their own bar downstairs. Big thanks from all of us, we really enjoyed our stay

The Sandpiper is in a great location for easy access to Torquay. The rooms are spotless and very well equipped. Beds very comfy and ample hot water. Breakfast cater for all tastes and nothing is too much trouble for your friendly hosts. Would pick this hotel again if returning to Torquay.

great base away from the crowds
Had a great short stay. Our room was very comfortable. The area was very quiet. Our hosts were polite. Breakfast was fine. Limited parking inside, but the street is quiet and there are no limitations. A 20 minute walk to the centre of Torquay. Would definitely stay again.

A good place to stay
Within reasonable walking distance of the town (taxi back?) and parking either on site unrestricted on the road. Friendly, helpful staff. At breakfast it would have been nicer to choose your table rather than having to sit at the one labelled with your room number - a little old fashioned and regimented.

A Lovely Guest House
Stayed in the twin room for one night. The guest house was exceptionally clean and very friendly service. There's everything you'd expect from a highly rated place. Only comment I would make were that the single beds seemed small and duvet only just covered - and I'm no large chap! Would stay again.
