A warm welcome awaits you at the Sandpiper Guest house, set in a peaceful tree lined cul-de-sac just a short walk away from the Riviera international Centre, Torre Abbey Gardens and the seafront. We offer quality accommodation in a relaxed, informal and friendly atmosphere.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Have stayed here over many years visiting Torquay. Lovely Guest House which is always immaculate. A warm welcome is always there and the breakfast is excellent . You are not too far from the town and there is plenty to see nearby. I always feel a bit reluctant to leave it behind !

This was our first time in Torquay and we stayed at the Sandpiper guest house. When we arrived the outside looked very inviting in white and blue and the inside didn’t disappoint one bit. Our room was on the ground floor and was superb. Going in we had a lot of storage area for clothes and shoes. To the left was a double bedroom. The bed was really comfortable and the room was immaculate. There was on en-suite bathroom with a shower cubicle. Again, immaculate room. On our last morning we had breakfast which had a great choice and was delicious. Our hosts Debbie and Denise were very friendly and instantly likeable and we would thoroughly recommend The Sandpiper to one and all. To get to the harbour,shops and bars is a good 15 minute walk or short taxi ride. We will return one day Richard and Sarah.…

We had a 2 night stay here through buyagift and would highly recommend. The ladies who run it are so nice and helpful and provided us with a lovely full cooked breakfast both mornings, really set us up for a day of exploring. You're not far from the beach so ideal location and plenty of leaflets available for places to visit or eat. We stayed in a basic small room which was kept very clean and the shower was lovely and refreshing! Couldn't fault this guest house and would definitely consider staying again next time we are in the area :)

What a lovely place to stay! The ladies are fantastic and can't do enough for you. Everything is well presented and you can see they have worked hard to make it a nice place to stay! The room was great, lovely big windows with a view and comfy bed. Spotlessly clean with all facilities you need in the room including a bottle of water, biscuits and tea / coffee making facilities which was restocked daily and a hairdryer. Towels clean soft and fresh. Breakfast was lovely and a large selection to choose from. I would certainly recommend anyone to stay here. It's about a 10 minute walk into town itself which is a nice walk a bit hilly on the way back but nothing terrible Torquay is quite hilly in the centre too. We got a taxi back one evening from the centre of Torquay and it was £7 perfect location to explore surrounding areas. Good public transport links nearby too. We will return if we come to Torquay again. A litte gem of a place! Thanks Debbie and Denise. …

We have been going to the Sandpiper for several years now, & we were a little bit worried last year when it had changed hands. No need for worries Debbie & Denise are superb hostess, instantly making you feel at home. Nothing is to much trouble & the breakfasts are fab. We love the honesty table in the front lobby, cold beers , wine , gin, soft drinks, all in a cooler, also a basket with crisps & snacks . We have returned again this year & booked again for next year before leaving. Thanks again Debbie & Denise , we had a fab time , even though the weather to start with was not the best. Looking forward to returning next year , already.

Thoroughly enjoyable two-night stay in a recently redecorated room with en suite bathroom. The owners were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent. A five-minute walk from the sea front, The Sandpiper can be recommended as a very good base from which to explore the delights of Torquay.
