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.

Although the property was absolutely beautiful, spacious and well equiped it was very remote with a 4 mile round trip to walk to the nearest pubs / restaurants. As our mobility was not good this was not an option. 2 points about the cottage ,the bed seemed rather small and we could only get BBC on the TV. I think this property would be more suited to people who like to do a lot of walking .
