“ANOTHER LOVELY HOLIDAY AT THE TORBAY SANDS HOTEL”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2011

Another lovely holiday spent at the Torbay Sands Hotel. As has always been the case when we have visited the hotel the rooms were spotless.
Martin and Carol were the perfect hosts and the breakfasts were both tasty and plentiful.
The view from the rooms we stayed in were fantastic with the sea being just across the road.
Parking was also excellent, either in the hotel car park or in the road opposite the hotel where the parking is unlimited.
We look forward to visiting this 'gem' of a hotel again later this year, as in our opinion no other hotel comes close to this one.

we are regular visitors to torbay but this was our first stay at the torbay sands .what a location, only yards from the sea and quiet preston beach ,this hotel is situated in a cul.de.sac. so sees little traffic.carol and martin are lovely people ,and run the hotel in a friendly and efficient manner.our sea view room had amazing views and at night the only sound to be heard was the sea.there was a high standard of cleanliness throughout the hotel .Breakfast ,which was excellent,was served in the dining room overlooking the sea .If you are looking for a relaxing break in beautiful surroundings with good food and good company this is for you .

“the best in torbay,”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 March 2011

we have been returning to stay at TORBAY SANDS HOTEL FOR FIVE YEARS. you could not find better hosts in MARTIN AND CAROL,.the position of the hotel could not be better,just across a small road from the beach,at the quieter end of paignton,but near all amenities,the hotel is immaculate,inside and out..the BREAKFAST is first rate,well cooked and plenty of it,we have traveled widely, here and on the continant and could not find better.NOTHING IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE FOR THIS WONDERFUL COUPLE.the view across TORBAY from the hotel could not be better,to wake up,sit up in bed,look out of window and see DOLPHINS playing just yards away in the water,the memory will stay with us for ever.WE WILL RETURN,

Just arrived back from a 3 nights stay at this fantastic hotel----- so what can you write about a Hotel that already has great reviews,my Wife and i can only say a Huge Thank You to Carol & Martin (Dave Martin) who have both worked so hard to make this Hotel the high standard that it is today.

The Breakfast are excellant and with a fantastic view across the Bay its almost sure to set you up for the day.The Hotel is in an Ideal location for a steady level walk along the Sea Front into Paignton. Many -Many Thanks to Carol and Martin for taking such good care of us. Ray and Val Bristol.
