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.

The views are breathtaking. The staff and the owners are super friendly. It felt like a home away from home. I am definitely going to go back soon.

I didn't like the water dripping into the house when there was heavy rain. The place requires some maintenance.

I stayed in Sunbird and absolutely loved the view. Unfortunately did not pick up any wifi while I was there. Tom is very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was wonderful. Will definitely be back!

I could not pick up any wifi from my room, which was a bit of a problem since I was travelling for work and need internet.

Built on the side of a mountain, Tops boasts spectacular views of Wilderness and the surrounding area. These can be enjoyed while eating a superb breakfast on the deck. Room was bright, clean and comfy and staff were friendly. The owner Tom who served breakfast, was most communicative and very helpful. Really enjoyed my stay there!

No complaints.

A fantastic traditional place very close to the town with awesome views. Tom the owner was so inviting & totally lovely with so much information on what & where to go. The bag lift was amazing! Tom said that he wanted his place to be a ‘home from home’ & it certainly was!!

Sunbird/room 3 quite simply is the Room with A View. I left one curtain open for the beautiful dawn. You could see the heavens at night. I adore this place. I will use it for sure when I return. Tom the manager was a gentleman. I was looked after well.

nothing I loved it

The view was awesome. Personal touches from Tom - serving breakfast to my granddaughter with her own tiny teacup, remembering she takes tea and not coffee. Loved it. Hope to visit again. Thanks 😊

Wooden stairs very slippery when wet.

Very nice accommodation. Incredibly cozy, it feels like you're staying in a treehouse with a breathtaking view of the mountains and the sea. It's within walking distance of the city center. The breakfast is also delightful. The host is fantastic - friendly, flexible, and enthusiastic. Highly recommended!

The premise is fantastic, with lovely, perfectly furnished rooms and a breathtaking view and atmosphere. The owner, Tom, is one of the loveliest person I have ever met. Breakfast in the terrace is super. A place to be back for sure. Thanks for the memorable stay.
