We have stayed here a few times now and has always been amazing, however, this time the heating had broken and we had to rely on electric plug in heaters so very cold. The heating was not allegedly fixed until end of holiday - there had been no prior communication

Although the bungalow was comfortable there were a few issues with the list of amenities versus the actual ones provided The main bedroom was supposed to include a shower and toilet but there was no toilet only a shower. Although we were warned of limited WiFi just before arriving, that needs to be made clear in the description of the property so that can be taken into account when booking. I ended up needing to do some work and had to go to a restaurant to use their wifi to send anything. Even checking the weather was problematic at times. As long as you know in advance though it could be a positive as a technology detox. Unfortunately the boiler was out of order during our visit and although we had fan heaters it didn’t help warm the bathroom and it needs fixing before the colder weather. I don’t want this to seem too negative as the location was great and the general ambiance of the property was good. Aside from the hiccups we had a great visit.

I’ve used Goulday for a few years. I love it there hence why I go back. Unfortunately the boiler wasn’t working, Emma had told me in advance, so the place couldn’t have been warmer.
