Pros:

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!

Great weekend in very pleasant guest house with super breakfast
Pros:

Beautifully presented and spotlessly clean with a great welcome from the host

Cons:

The walls were a little thin so could hear the room talking next door until late. We bought earplugs for the next night! Problem solved -

Delightful, relaxing and made us feel refreshed
Pros:

From booking to arriving the communication has been outstanding. I had sent a message about late check in, which I was a little worried about. But received a reply stopping my stress straight away!
When we did arrive it was late but we were still met with a smiling and very polite Debbie.
She showed us around and explained some bits. Then took us to the most beautiful room.
The room had everything we could ever need. It was very clean and the bed was super comfortable.
When we woke the next morning we went down to the dining room for breakfast.
The breakfast gave you a great start to the day with plenty of choices meaning both days we didn’t need lunch!!
Both Debbie and Denise were friendly, engaging and very knowledgeable of the area. Two ladies who love what they do and it shows in the accommodation and the way they treat you.
We would definitely return it’s in a great location to walk to Torquay or drive.
Thank you

Cons:

The only thing that could improve but it is a minor detail is the pressure in the shower.

Pros:

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.

A beautiful, comfortable property
Pros:

Amazing staff. Lovely, spacious, light family room. The breakfast was heaven. My family had a wonderful stay here.

Cons:

As we have a baby, a fridge would have been helpful for keeping milk or snacks cold.
