Goonlaze is a lovely spacious bungalow, clean and comfortable. When you sit on the patio having your morning coffee, enjoy the views of neighbouring rooftops which surround the garden on three sides, the direct neighbour you can almost touch, which is not shown in Cottages photos. The bathroom and wc have wall light switches instead of pull cords which I believe is against building regulations. If you are disabled or arthritic there are two steps at front and back doors. Pots and pans had to be washed before use, there's no excuse for this as there is a dishwasher, lazy guest's. Cottages.com need to update their photos.
