“Sandway House strikes me as a particularly well-run boutique option in Torquay. What stands out is the dedication of the owners, who clearly prioritize a personalized experience, from the homemade breakfast to accommodating individual needs. Its location near the beach and key attractions makes it a practical choice, but the intimate, family-like atmosphere gives it real appeal.”
