"Ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt in einem tollen Haus"
Wir sind nicht nur 2 Nächte geblieben, sonder sogar drei, weil es uns so gut gefallen hat. Gut gefallen hat uns auch, dass wir uns nicht an Frühstückszeiten halten mussten - die ja z. T. doch sehr früh sind - sondern unser Frühstück auf dem Zimmer machen konnten. Wir sind sowieso nicht so sehr Freunde des "full english" und deshalb kam uns das sehr entgegen. Wie überall, wurden wir auch hier sehr freundlich empfangen und betreut. Read less

Wir hatten ein upgrade auf eine Suite, weil der Dachbereich über den DZ einen Sturmschaden hatte. Die Suite war sehr schön und hatte einen tollen Ausblick auf das Meer.
Response from Higher Faugan:
A very nice couple always welcome to return

Clean, quiet and superbly decorated.
Dislikes:
The breakfast did not have a cooked option, I feel this was the only thing it lacked.
Response from Higher Faugan:
A very friendly couple who were a pleasure to accommodate, we do state in all literature that breakfast is both complementary and continental so comments regarding this are not expected.
