We had a wonderful time at Goonlaze. Very clean and roomy bungalow. Garden is very big and well maintained and so quiet sitting out there with your morning coffee. So close to places like Charlestown, Mevagissey, Par, Eden project and Many more. Every thing you need you can get from Asda or Tesco which is not far at St Austell. The bungalow had everything we needed oh apart from a pizza cutter. But we used a knife which wasn't a problem. We would definitely recommend this beautiful bungalow. Thank you to Charles & Helen.
