About the host

Hosted by Tamsin

I'm a retired vet, and this is the place I like to stay when I want to unwind. I love the countryside and natural world, geology of the area, wildlife, cliff walks, sea swimming and surfing. I care about the environment and with this in mind I'm taking steps to make the bungalow environmentally friendly as possible, whether this is choosing Eco-paints, or upgrading the property with solar panels ( planned for this winter). In 2023 I added solar panels, a new bathroom and in 2024 renovated the master bedroom using eco-paints and restored the original Edwardian Fireplace.

Why they chose this property

My grandfather watched this bungalow being built when he was a child staying in Crackington with his parents in 1913. He always loved this special place, and when he returned from World War II, he was able to buy it. It's a perfect quiet spot tucked away in a sheltered valley with Atlantic sea views. Surrounded by nature it was a place he could rest and recover from the war. It's been a place where we've holidayed ever since. Whether it's in stormy weather in the winter, or balmy beach days in the summer this is a place for you to unwind. We're letting it to guests for the first time in 2023. I love the wooded walk up the valley with wild ferns and crystal clear water running over rocks into pools, the cliff walks and beach exploring.
