Great variety of quiet footpaths direct from the property. Lovely spacious property, had everything we needed and welcome hamper was much appreciated. Great parking and the hot and cold water tap/shower for washing muddy paws and boots is a great addition. Loved the secure fully enclosed garden and seating options though weather didn't allow us to utilise this. Would highly recommend this property!

I would suggest that the post code is not used in the Sat-Nav. To find the cottage I would suggest that the you key Plain-An-Gwarry, Marazion (or try Tregurtha Downs Farm, Marazion) into the Sat-Nav. When you arrive in Plain-An-Gwarry, look for a lane opposite the houses, The lane has a "No Through Road" sign. On the left, as you turn into the lane, you will see a sign for Tregurtha Downs Farm and a smaller sign pointing to Puffins Rest. Then, when you come to the farm buildings on your right go through the 2nd gate, and past the buildings on your right. The cottage is tucked behind the buildings.
