The station serves the hamlet of Sandplace and is 6.5 miles (10 km) south of Liskeard.

The only facilities provided at the station are a small waiting shelter, a bench and an information board, with timetable posters.

The "Polraen Country House Hotel" is included in the Looe Valley Line rail ale trail.

This is one of the most difficult rail ale trail pubs to visit as it has very limited opening hours.

[may be outdated as of March 2022] Sandplace is one of the stations named in Bernard Moore's poem Travelling.
