It's in a fab location for visiting my family and getting to the beach for our early morning dog walks!!! The enclosed garden is great for our dog too. Thank you.

Very well equipped, a real home away from home. Follow the owners directions rather than satnav as we came in from the other side of Gears Lane and very nearly got stuck! Would love to return one day

We did not find it easily though, the address being "Goldsithney" is misleading as our SAT NAV took us to the opposite end of Gears Lane, which although it apparently goes right through, is only really passable in the centre by a 4x4. The best advice I would offer is to head through Marazion for the tiny hamlet of Plain-an-Gwarry and enter Gears Lane there. The property is at the back of the livery stables down the lane on the right, before you get to the old engine house chimney. We would definitely recommend.
