  • "Our time at Joray bungalow was superb."

    We had a minor issue with drains but this was quickly sorted out by the owners within a few hours of my phone call. Could not be happier and will consider staying there again next time we go to Lincolnshire.

  • "On arrival a used toilet brush was left in the hallway, along with a multitude of flies."

    Left property to buy fly spray, which at least 17 flies were killed. Not a good start, but property was clean. We have never experienced limited temperature and time with central heating before... We both won't return, not recommending.

    Thank you for the lovely feedback you left in our visitors book regarding how clean and tidy and well equipped the bungalow is and how you enjoyed the peace and quiet. The cleaners always do a walk through video of the property before new guests arrive clearly stating the date and time of the video. The video they took shortly before you arrived showed no evidence of any flies. They did inadvertently leave a clean toilet brush in the hallway before departing. The max temperature setting is clearly stated in the Sykes website which you would have seen prior to booking your stay and the thermostat settings are clearly explained in the welcome book. Thank you for your positive feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

  • "Our elderly father lives close by ."

    It was very reasonable in price, and we had one unfortunate breakage which was paid for and organised in a very straightforward and honest way. Lovely environment and perfect for a small family who wants to spend some time with a cherished relative.

  • "The ideal place to stay in, for a very relaxing break in pleasant village surroundings."

    The bungalow more than lived up to our expectations and had everything we needed for an enjoyable holiday break. A minor problem with the heating thermostat was quickly resolved by the owner, John, who "went the extra mile" to ensure it was sorted out for us. Already planning a return visit in the near future!

    Private garden with safe parking. Ideally situated for local walks, towns and coast. We had a relaxing week and would definitely recommend .

  • "Enjoyed our holiday very much in Joyray we came away very relaxed."

    The only thing I would point out is I took extra frozen food because it said fridge/freezer thinking it was a large freezer but it was only a small freezer compartment in the fridge. Like a cool box.

  • "We had a lovely stay but feel the property could benefit from a washing machine, especially if a family were to stay as there were only 2 of us and we extended our stay to 12 days from 10 but we struggled due to this."

    Also perhaps a hairdryer would be beneficial too. But apart from that we really enjoyed our stay over Christmas the Christmas tree which was put up in the lounge was much appreciated and lovely gesture. We really would recommend JoRay it was such a relaxing tranquil and peaceful place

    Thank you for the great feedback. Sorry to hear that you struggled due to there being no washing machine. There is no washing machine listed on the Sykes website and we are sorry you didn’t notice this fact at the time of booking. We hope to see you at JORAY again in the future. Property Owner

  • "If peace and quiet is what you're after then this is the place for you."

    We had a lovely relaxing stay in your cosy bungalow. Beds were super comfy and everything is provided. We would love to go back.

    Thank you very much for the great response and the lovely feedback in our visitors book. We hope to see you return soon. Property Owner

  • "We stayed at "Joray" last week for a few days."

    It was very comfortable, clean, spacious, in a quiet area; and had all the facilities. We would point out the following reservations: for a family there was no washing machine nor dishwasher; & the bed is Queen Size not King Size (but the beds were very comfortable with a lovely warm duvet). Also it would have been useful if some instruction guides had been available, especially on how to work the TV controls! Overall though we had a most pleasant stay in this bungalow.

    Thank you for your positive feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Joray. Thanks also for recommending putting in a washing machine and a dishwasher, it is perhaps something we can look into in the future. I apologise that you felt the bed was too small, the bed and bedding were purchased from a reputable supplier with standard King-Size measurements. The instruction guide for the TV controls was in the lounge fireplace cupboard and we shall make this more obvious for future guests. Once again, thank you and we look forward to welcoming you back at some point in the future. Property Owner

The property

Alford 4.6 miles.

Joray Bungalow is nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Aby, Lincolnshire.

This delightful, single-storey dwelling is perfect for families looking to experience the tranquillity of the area, whilst being within close reach of the neighbouring market town of Alford.

After a day of exploring, step into the sitting room and make yourself comfortable on the L-shaped sofa, where you can stick a film on the Smart TV, inviting you to settle down with your loved ones.

Move into the well-appointed kitchen and rustle up a hearty feast, equipped with all the essentials you’ll need for a week away.

Across the hall is the master bedroom with lots of built-in storage, king-size bed and large window looking out to the front.

Behind lies a twin bedroom, perfect for the little ones, along with a contemporary shower room where you can freshen up.

Step into the conservatory, ideal for unwinding in with a book or simply admiring the peaceful views, or for added indulgence, spend some time in the garden with a chilled glass of something refreshing.

If you feel like exploring the local area, discover the picturesque hamlet of Aby, home to a welcoming pub, as well as enjoying a supreme location next to the village of Alford, where you can explore a beautiful 12th-century church, St Wilfrid’s, the delightful Windmill, and the traditional village green.

Or, venture even further afield to the seaside town of Mablethorpe with its beautiful sandy beach, or Skegness, which offers a range of attractions such as the Fantasy Island Theme Park and Natureland Seal Sanctuary.

Continue onto the historic excursion at the National Trust’s Gunby Estate, an impressive 18th-century manor house offering an insight into the past.

No matter what you get up to, a stay at Joray Bungalow provides the perfect opportunity to get away from it all.

About the location

ALFORD

Mablethorpe 8 miles; Skegness 11 miles; Louth 14 miles; Horncastle 15 miles.

Alford is a charming market town in Lincolnshire. It is set at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is about 11 miles north-west of the coastal resort of Skegness. There is a wide range of shops including a pharmacy, grocers and two butchers as well as a large shop which specialises in doll’s houses and their contents. Alford has become an important centre for arts and crafts with many markets held throughout the year. The main market is held in the Market Place every Tuesday and Friday with the craft market being held every August Bank Holiday as well as Christmas markets being held every year. Alford is known for its Grade 1 listed working windmill, which is used commercially to produce stone-ground organic flour. Alford Manor House is a central point in the town, with its exhibitions and museum as well as a tea room and open gardens. With Alford being set in the Lincolnshire Wolds, there are plenty of walking and cycling routes to follow or even take a trip to the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway or Claythorpe Watermill and Wildfowl Gardens, where you will find plenty of birds and animals, with plenty of space to sit and relax with great views of the old mill. Within 30 mins, you will find the seaside resorts of Skegness and Mablethorpe, with great beaches, making a great playground for children and adults alike. For something different, why not visit the towns of Louth or Horncastle, which both have a good range of shops and pubs as well as regular street and farmers markets? Whatever you decide to do, you will not be short of choice for your holiday in this lovely area of Lincolnshire.
