Beautiful room, great location and wonderful Hosts
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay at Sandpiper Guest House. The facilities were exceptionally clean and comfortable, and our room was amazing - it looked freshly decorated and was very comfortable throughout our stay.

Debbie and Denise were both friendly, welcoming and incredibly helpful, which made us feel right at home. We also loved the breakfast options, with plenty of choice and excellent accommodation for vegan requirements too.

The guest house is in a lovely, quiet location, making it a very peaceful place to stay. It’s just a nice short walk into the centre of Torquay and also conveniently close to the train station, which was a real bonus.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend Sandpiper Guest House. A lovely place with fantastic hosts, comfortable rooms and a great location.

Cons:

The only minor downside was that the internet connection in our room wasn’t always stable. However, this wasn’t a major issue for us, and we had no problems at all when using the Wi-Fi in the communal lounge.
