Guest reviews for The Tops
"Great location with stunning views of the beach and the sea. Very friendly staff, Tom gave us all the information we needed for a comfortable stay and made us feel at home right away. Breakfast was delicious, we loved the comfortable and very personal atmosphere."
"Nothing!"
"The view from everywhere is spectacular as the property is located on a hill above town with excellent views below to the town and beyond to the beach and to the ocean. Tom is very friendly and provides excellent customer service."
"The lovely view could have been improved if the windows would have been cleaner. There are a lot of steps which weren't problematic for me, but it could be for some guests."
"The room brags an awesome view of the ocean, with a private terrace - really beautiful. Very comfortable bed, lovely tidy room with all you need. Breakfast was delicious, this place exceeds expectation, especially the price - value for your money. Tom, the host was very friendly, helpful and made us feel very welcome."

"There's nothing to complain about."
"We had a characterful room with a four-poster bed and its own section of the terrace with beautiful views due to its elevated position. The breakfast was delicious and generous. The host was caring and helpful and the staff very friendly. We loved the luggage lift and the short walk into the village."
"The blinds were quite noisy with the windows open. We would have sussed out what to do if we had stayed a second night! Care needed emerging from the drive into the road."
"Lovely room with great views from the terrace. Excellent breakfast and helpful and knowledgeable host. Friendly staff and a bonus visit from Tom and Jerry, the local loeries! The communal kitchen/lounge area was useful and well equipped. The luggage funicular was extremely welcome."
"Aucun."

"Stunning property and views. Cottage very comfortable and luxuriously furnished."
"Welcoming hosts. Comfortable bed. Our room was also aesthetically pleasing."
"I was pleasantly surprised from the moment I arrived, being welcomed by the beautiful view of the well-maintained gardens. The video guide showing the facility and directing me to my room was incredibly helpful. The room was well laid out, comfortable, and inviting. The personalised breakfast display at my table was a delightful touch — something I’ve never experienced before."
