The family-run Sandway House is located in the seaside town of Torquay and its building dates back to 1875. It is centrally located and within half-a-mile of the sea front and both Torquay and Torre Rail Stations. Rooms within Sandway House all come equipped with a flat-screen TV and complimentary toiletries. The majority of the rooms feature an en suite bathroom with fresh towels. Ground floor rooms are also available. Guests can take advantage of the varied breakfast menu offered each morning. They can choose from a full English breakfast, a choice of cereals or toast with marmalade and jam. Tea or coffee and fruit juice is also on offer. The M5 motorway is less than a 30-minute drive away and is the motorway which enters Devon. The start of the picturesque Dartmoor National Park is just 10 miles away and Torquay’s Dinosaur World is only a mile from the guest house.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.
