Blue Horizon

We had a wonderful week staying at Blue Horizon.

Perfect for us as a family & dog. It was beautifully clean, comfy beds, great kitchen provision for self catering. We loved proximity to the harbour and other walks straight from the door, dog walking park area just minutes away. Balcony and wonderful views from every window were outstanding. And the parking space too. Perfect! Just what we needed for a relaxing break - thank you. We won't hesitate to book again if we're returning to the area.

Thank you for a fabulous stay.

The balcony views were fantastic and made us relax into our holiday immediately. The beds were really, really comfy and the shower hot and powerful. We didn’t cook but the kitchen appeared to be fully stocked for all catering needs. Towels were nice and fluffy, hairdryer, iron and ironing board all useful too. The car parking space was a huge bonus! The owners checked in on us which was a nice touch. Brixham was fab too. We look forward to returning to Blue Horizob on our next visit.

Great location only a short walk to harbour.

Lovely place to stay .as listed it's not suitable for people with mobility issues due to steps to and from harbour and cottage

Shower needs re-grouting and cleaning.

Just thought it looked a bit grotty. Rest of cottage lovely and clean, except a few cobwebs. The outside steps need de-weeding, if it was wet could have been dangerous! Also an issue with being no collection bag for dustman. Lovely views, could have spent all week on the balcony.

Lovely property.

Clean and comfortable. Ideal location right by the harbour with great views. Fully kitted out with everything one would need in a holiday property. I really enjoyed being there and would recommend to anyone.

Lovely old fisherman’s cottage overlooking the busy harbour.

Great views. Great location. Lovely and clean and tidy. Bed lovely and comfortable too. Would love to go back again to Brixham and use the cottage again. Great all round 7 days had. Thank you.

We spent a long weekend at the Blue Horizon, what a perfect place to stay.

The property was superb, very well laid out with plenty of space and the views from every room were out of this world. Position was very good to the Harbour, only a small walk, having somewhere to park the car was a bonus, highly recommend and we look forward to staying there again.

Blue Horizon is a very well equipped property in a lovely position in Brixham.

The parking is very welcome and we managed the steps with the luggage although it would not suit everyone. The majority of the property was clean and tidy. Our main gripe was that the lovely balcony was totally unusable. It was coated in weeks worth of huge piles of bird poo and was too disgusting to use. We realise that birds will be birds but this looked as if it needed a proper deep clean which had been lacking for some time. This was a major disappointment as we really wanted a property with some outdoor space.

We had a wonderful week at Blue Horizon.

Having spent time in Brixham before we new all about the number of steps up and down the hill to the property and didn't find these a problem. The views from the balcony are perfect, a great place to sit in the evening with a relaxing drink. The property has everything you could possibly need to see you through a week.

Blue Horizons was a first class cottage.

It was very comfortable,clean.Good harbour views.

A lovely cottage, well appointed and in a good position to access all of Brixham and enjoy the views from the balcony.

As others have mentioned the approach to the cottage by car is a little tricky. We have a full sized family saloon and that was tight, but no way impossible. Gulls are noisy, but once again we knew that from previous reviews, but that was offset by watching the comings and goings of the Trawlers in the harbour. Try to book the tour at the fish market - it was brilliant!

Beautiful location, lovely property in a prime location to appreciate the best views.

If anything the photos do not do this properly justice. Brilliant stay.

The property is very equipped with everything you need.

Very comfortable with great views of the harbour and sea. I would say able bodied people as there are some steep steps up to the cottage and a little noisy at times through the night with the fish market. However, we had a great time and return.

Just had a week at Blue Horizon and its been the best holiday we have had , breathtaking views and the cottage itself was perfect , spotlessly clean and really well equipped , we didnt move our car all week which I would advice as its a bit tricky moving it often .

We paid £11 for a day hopper pass taking us to paignton , Torquay, babbacoombe etc as many times you want to go in a day for a family of 4 superb value . We will be booking the cottage again missing it already .

The views are unbeatable however I do think that some of the write up should reflect the reality of this property.

Kitchen is small and needs a deep clean , the fridge is not og adequate size for a weeks worth of groceries. The stairs to the property and in the property need to be described better than they are they are plentiful snd steep. The bathroom also needed a deep clean as mould around the shower tray and door. The misy important thing about the write up should be the noise from the fish market and the birds nesting in the roof of the property. If you are ok with noise at night then great but if you’re not you should know in advance. Sorry this seems critical but just trying to be honest the holiday was still nice but I wouldn’t recommend this property to any one I know .

A lovely cottage, comfortable and well equipped.

We were aware of the three floors inside the house but were not aware of the steps up to the front door which were quite steep. However my 89 year old husband coped with them remarkably well but maybe it should be mentioned in the details of the let. No other complaints and lovely views.

Even the seagulls were pleasant!

Had a splendid week here in March. The cottage is great, has everything you could think of in the kitchen, plenty of cutlery and crockery. The bathroom is clean and warm, I agree the bedroom is a dream, wonderful views and comfy bed. we were lucky with the weather so even used the balcony for a beverage or two. Great location with perfect views. PS. We had no problem with seagulls they made the perfect backdrop

We had a fabulous week in this lovely cottage.

Everything you could need, beautifully warm and cosy. Lovely comfy bed, slept like a log! Really fantastic views of the harbour from all rooms. Everything as described and the owner was very helpful when we rang her. Would definitely stay again.

As other reviewers have said - be sure to read the listing for Blue Horizon so as not to be surprised on arrival - except perhaps by the simply amazing views from virtually every window which you might not be prepared for.

The property was originally a fisherman’s cottage, close to the the working harbour - Brixham is still a working fishing port with all the associated sights and sounds that are part of that canvas. Previous comments about the parking are correct - and some cars are not ideally suited to using the space - especially if lower to the ground as there is a danger of scraping the underside of the car. There is either long stay parking (£8.50/24hrs - Sept 21) or free on road parking nearby which we used as do many locals. Arranged over three floors the cottage is well equipped, and proved to be an excellent base from which to explore this part of South Devon - on foot, by sea and by car. The WiFi was excellent and the SmartTV and DVD player were appreciated. There was plenty of hot water for showering, towels were provided.

A wonderful cottage with great rooms, comfortable furnishings and fantastic views.

Everything was perfect. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay at the Blue Horizon.

So many beautiful walks without needing to drive. Cottage is stunning with some amazing views from the windows and the balcony. Would highly recommend staying here, we are hoping to book again for later this year/early next. As stated in the description, this property has a lot of steps, some very steep and parking was entertaining, for me (not my husband). Alternative pay and display parking is available in a short work, if you would prefer. Ensure to read the property details well before booking. Thank you to the owners for a really lovely, comfortable, beautiful escape away.

It’s a beautiful cottage in an excellent location, steps were sometimes a struggle though.

A patio table would be nice on the slabbed area at the top of the steps also a blind in the dining room would help to make it more private although it is a shame to shut out the excellent views. Would recommend this cottage facilities were excellent, fantastic views from every window.

On arrival to the cottage we found it very easy to find and simple to gain entry via the key safe and information supplied.

The cottage was very clean and the view from the dining room on the ground floor was striking. The kitchen was compact but there was everything you could possibly want in terms of utensils, pots, pans, dish washer, washing machine and lots of crockery including various glasses. The stairs to the 1st floor are steep and narrow so be warned! The bathroom is excellent with a bath and a shower and is quite big for a cottage. The living room with TV and two sofas was brilliant, I said that the view from the dining room was striking but, from the living room and balcony it is awesome. The two bedrooms were spacious with excellent views and the beds extremely comfortable. I will say, you MUST read the description regarding the steep steps from the harbour. the first flight of 29 steps from street level is like a staircase followed by about 8 gently rising steps followed by about 8 more steep steps. Then there are more steps to the door and more again inside. We were a party of 60 somethings and managed fine but, please don't go here and complain about access as it is in the description. All in all the cottage is first class and the views are outstanding. Having said all of this if you have a car, the parking bay is only a few yards from the gate and apart from shopping it is quite feasible to spend an entire week sitting on the balcony (weather permitting of course). Would I recommend the property? You bet!

Great house in really good location, the views were stunning and we had a really good time 10 out 10.

The view from the sitting room and the main bedroom is spectacular over the harbour and out to sea.

I had not been to Brixham since I was a child but it is just the same very pretty . Steep steps though!

Location of property spot on Views from property amazing on the listing it doesn't look that good so get ready to be surprised take a pair of binoculars could watch the grey seals in the bay watching the boats come and go on the balcony Bed was great steps to property a challenge but it's Brixham Recommended to owners Put solid floors or laminate floors in dinning room and living room it wouldn't make it feel cold as a customer I was concerned about wet shoes dirty shoes on cream carpets scrubbed the balcony to get the dirt and Moss off so we didn't thread it on the carpet there is loose tiles in bathroom and the sofas in the lounge I wouldn't give it away its dirty and worn Please look at these I would pay more to stay you have a nice property but it could be GREAT

The Cottage was fantastic, so was the whole week in Brixham

Even though it is made quite clear in the listing, I cannot stress enough the matter of accessibility.

Do not under estimate the matter of the stairs, both up to the cottage and in the cottage. And also take the advice about backing down the road to park..... Aside from that, the location has the most stunning views. The bed is wonderfully comfortable, albeit the generator at the fishery building was not always conducive to a good night's sleep. Location is great for local amenities. Balcony is wonderful place to spend time watching the activity in the harbour and catching the sun.

Location of the property is excellent, just behind the main street.

The road to the property is VERY narrow so if you have a big car like us be careful. The property is on 3 levels with the kitchen on the ground floor with the dining room. Bedrooms on the top floor have fantastic views across the harbour and are comfortable. The main issue we would say would be some parts of the cottage need updating or a very deep clean. The sofas are dirty, the heated towel rail in the bathroom is badly rusted at the bottom and the floor needs re-grouting as there are a lot of loose tiles. Window frames around the property were full of cobwebs and grime. Dining room on the ground floor needs laminate flooring not carpet, and needs brightening up as it’s a small area with very dark furniture in it. Kitchen is small but more than adequate with new cupboards and appliances which is a plus. The furniture on the balcony is old and rusted so we didn’t use it which is a shame as it would be a superb place to sit on an evening and relax watching the boats come and go. Overall, this property could be so much better given some attention and thought. Location 10/10, cleanliness 3/10.

The cottage was in a fantastic location, very comfortable and ideally situated for exploring Brixham.

The trickiness of parking, which is made clear in the instructions, cannot be overestimated, and we in fact did not use the car from the day we arrived until we left. But there is so much to do in and around Brixham, either on foot, or reachable by bus or boat that this didn’t matter at all. There are a few aspects which could be tidied up or replaced - such as a rusty microwave and bathroom radiator - and more use could be made of the outside aspects of the property, balcony and around the front door, but none of these detracted from what was a lovely week in Devon.

Blue Horizon is a lovely, well equipped cottage with fantastic views.

Access and parking are very difficult and can be stressful after a long journey.

The cottage was so perfect and comfortable and relaxing with beautiful views and just as pictured on your website page.

Had most of what I needed within the cottage to make holiday complete.

The steep steps proved difficult to get from the pavement to the cottage door.

Your details made clear there were three floors to the cottage but the access steps were a surprise. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped, beautifully decorated and clean.

Would be helpful if they made it clearer where the parking space was for car.

Cottage was very comfortable but definitely not suitable for anyone with mobility problems as the stairs are very steep and a bit uneven leading up to the cottage.

Cottage good in respect of location, quality of furniture, comfort of bed, overall condition and cleanliness.

Had the following concerns. 1/ No Council sack provided and could not find black rubbish bags required by Council. 2/ Rust inside microwave and poor state of cutlery. 3/ No continuous hand rail on stairs. 4/ Oven appears to be electric only, not gas as stated. 5/ More maintenance required, for example I removed leaves and silt from the kitchen drain to stop it overflowing.

This was the second time we have visited and it is a lovely location with wonderful views .

It was only marred by the cleanliness of some of the kitchen items which had been left dirty by a previous occupant a time ago! People should be aware of the steep steps to and within the property as some might find it difficult with a case.

We had a lovely week at the Blue Horizon.

The views were amazing and the cottage had everything we needed. There are several steps leading up to the property which was fine with us but probably not if you have mobility difficulties. We would definitely like to stay again.

We loved the location with the dual aspect bedroom windows and we enjoyed using the balcony for our breakfasts.

Brixham is a good base for touring the area. There are just two negatives that I think would be useful feedback - there was no welcome pack and if that had been explained we would have prepared for it. Also we think blackout curtains would be helpful as the bedroom was too light in the early mornings. We would highly recommend Blue Horizon.

Our family really enjoyed the holiday.

The cottage had some great views over the harbour and the location was good. The steps leading up to the cottage may not be suitable for those with mobility problems, but for our family there was no issue. Brixham is lovely and we would return. The good weather was a bonus!

This is one of the best holiday rentals we have stayed in.

The pictures do not do the property justice.The views are stunning, the property was extremely clean and the specification was as listed.The comfort of the beds was outstanding and every aspect apears to be thought of (shoehorne,torch,hairdryer, games...I could go on).Yes if you have mobility issues it may not be the place for you because of the stairs but this is Brixham and it's par for the course.My family of 4, including 2 teenagers loved it and we're missing it already!

Lovely cottage and views.

Good size bed, quality bed linen. Lots of steps (80) down to harbour and 20 within house.

a beautiful place to stay, just the hum of the fishery but soon got used to it, it would keep you fit if you stayed there long enough

Lovely cottage,excellent location overlooking the harbour with superb views.

Very comfortable facilities and beds! Stairs may be a problem for people with mobility issues.Parking was also a problem having to reverse down a very narrow lane. However we did find somewhere to park in the roads nearby. Some problems with the electrics but these were sorted by the owner. Not sure where the garden was=just a tiny patio! Some people may not appreciate all the steps up to the property but not a problem for us. Would recommend this cottage for its character ,location and beautiful views=always something going on in the harbour!

We all had a fantastic time in Brixham the cottage was brilliant in all aspects, great location with fantastic views of the harbour.

Would not hesitate to return and stay in this cottage.
