Friendly, clean, great breakfast.
Pros:

Fantastic hosts, super friendly and helpful (made good recommendations for eating out and things to do with my teenager). The guest house is really fresh and clean with stylish decor. Close to seafront and town about a 10min walk (but far enough away that noise isn’t an issue). Parking available and parking is expensive in Torquay. Lovely home cooked breakfast that is really good and you can have a 3 course breakfast if you want to. I would recommend The Sandpiper Guest house to anyone staying in Torquay.

Pros:

Super hosts. Made us feel really welcome staying with a toddler and baby. My 2 year old loved his cooked breakfast each day! It was also lovely to have a little garden to sit in to enjoy the weather whilst the babies napped.

Cons:

Nothing, the hosts were so accommodating.

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!
