About Us
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.
The Sandpiper Guest House is your ideal holiday base, we cater for all age groups and dogs are also very welcome.
We are well placed for exploring the Torbay area with Torquay town centre and harbour, with lively bars, cafes and restaurants being only 15 minutes walk away. The beautifully manicured Torre Abbey gardens are only a 10 minute walk, with numerous activities to try like Pitch and Putt Golf, Tennis and Bowls. The Riviera Centre is also close to the gardens and contains a swimming pool, restaurants and conference facilities.
For families with children, Torre Abbey Sands is a 10 minute walk and offers a good quality beach with bathing. For the more adventuous Dartmoor is within 20 minutes drive with miles of walks and stunning scenery.
During your stay at the Sandpiper you can be assured of good good and high standards of service to make your stay and enjoyable one.
We have ample parking at the front of the guest house with easy access to the property and can also offer free pickup by prior arrangement from Torquay Railway or Bus Station should you require.
