Having stayed in a number of hotels, I was a little uncertain what to expect when Sandpiper was described as a Guest House. The reality was that it would put many hotels to shame. Everything was excellent:
... the decor in both public areas and bedrooms was pristine;
... the welcome was warm and genuine
... there was absolute freedom to come and go at any time:
... the food at breakfast was excellent and plentiful, with always the offer of more

This is a very friendly, efficient and clean hotel. The staff are all pleasant and helpful. The food in the restaurant is good and hot and there is a good choice at breakfast. It is in a great location not far from the village and is well placed for visits to Morecambe, Lake district and Blackpool. There is a really good garden centre just down the road and lots of places to walk, as well as golf if you play it.

First time in Blackpool and we did it at the end of the season the weather wasn’t that fantastic but all the people we met there especially the owners of the hotel we stayed at all made us feel so welcome and we had a brilliant time. I would definitely recommend Anybody coming to visit any time of the year day or week.

Beds were comfortable, staff were friendly and helpful. Room was not clean and we needed to complain to get moved. Room standard was very basic, old and tired and not as shown on website.

The room was extremely basic and the bathroom was in need of a deep clean as there was black mould in various places.
It wasn’t a place we felt we wanted to spend any time in. There were options for breakfast but not any healthy ones. Check-in was efficient and staff friendly.

It took us ages to find somewhere to accept the voucher and when we did we understood why- it was awful! Noisy old and drab sports centre with rooms! Bedroom was clean but window overlooked a flat roof with an extractor fan going all night! Breakfast was ok but you paid extra for a drink and had to be eaten on sticky old warn table in the bar with loud tv going Al the time- do not go to this place !

We arrived for our stay to be told there was no reservation for that date and they were fully booked. Apparently we should have arrived on 29th October. After showing my email with the details a room was found that they keep for emergencies, this room was small with one side of the bed along the wall meaning I had to climb over my husband to get out of bed.
The room itself was shabby but bedding and bathroom was clean.

We were on the ground floor because my wife has mobility problems. The shower was old enough to have a crack between the wall and shower floor which was black probably mold. The bed was torture for old frail bones. we noticed there were lot of builders staying and they probably could cope with the bed and I am sure found it very good value and. so it was not a gift to us, but a place for cost-effective housing for workmen

Trip to Beamish Museum

Location very convenient for the Beamish Museum. Free
parking outside the hotel. Friendly staff and good food in the restaurant.
However, the building is in need of a major refurbishment. The bedroom was barely adequate. Only one bedside table, which was cluttered with tea,coffee and the kettle. One of the small milk containers was punctured and the contents were rancid. Television was not properly tuned in and WiFi information was not displayed. The en-suite bathroom was shabby, with a very basic shower. The bed was clean and comfortable. On the second day the rubbish bin was not emptied and coffee and tea were not replenished.
