The Sandpiper Inn is situated in the heart of Ilfracombe harbour. The rooms, breakfast room and private terrace are all situated on the same level. The rooms are tastefully decorated which all have ensuite shower rooms. The rooms have free wifi, tv/dvd, tea and coffee making facilitys,hair dryer and usb sockets to charge your phones. (Our double room are normally setup with a double bed if TWIN beds are required could you advise us with a quick message so this can be arranged ). thanks The pub downstairs has a pool table, dart boards, skittle alley and has karaoke on some saturday nights untill 12 which has a great atmosphere.
We have been running the sandpiper for the last 10 years. We have enjoyed running the pub for all this time and have recently converted our function room and bar into bed and breakfast. We have both worked in the the leisure industry for most of our life. We love meeting new people and our aim is to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Hope to see you soon.
Being situated in the heart of ilfracome harbour there are 6 other pubs in close proximity (something for everyone ) also lots of gift shops, cafe's, restaurants including Damion Hurst's restaurant and his famous statue " verity " .We are very cose to local beaches with beautiful scenery and walk's. Nearby you book boat and fishing trips from the quay. What ever you choose to do its a lovely and friendly place and well worth a visit.
