Stunning views and great location. Wonderfully equipped kitchen and spacious living areas. Great outdoor space too. Family bathroom located on the ground floor, and ensuites both on the ground and top floor so not ideal for those with mobility issues. Main living area up is up a flight of stairs. Response from Travel Chapter: Thank you for your feeRead moredback. Please be advised that the owner has plans to add a fourth toilet and shower room in due course, the positioning of which will allow easy access from the main living area. Hide

Would definitely recommend this property it was beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean but still felt very homely. Everything that you could possibly need was provided. Unfortunately I would not recommend for those who find stairs a challenge but that aside we had a wonderful stay. The views of Torbay are truly amazing its wonderful to just Read moresit and admire the view. Hide

We had a wonderful stay in Blue Horizons. The views are spectacular and the gardens are such a pleasure to relax in. It is so comfortable and well equipped that I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it - we didnt want to come home! We particularly enjoyed early morning swims at Elberry Cove (no wetsuit required) and walking on the SW Coastal path to BrixRead moreham and Berry Head. Can highly recommended eating at the Berry Head Hotel. We also played pitch and putt at Cayman Golf and visited Greenway House. Hide

This is the second year we have been to this incredible property. Everything is perfect. All of the rooms are beautifully decorated and the view out of the lounge window is amazing. The owners have thought of everything. We can't wait to return. Thank you to the owners for another incredible stay.

The house was very well equipped, clean and comfortable. The location is great with fabulous views over Torbay. As advertised, it is a 10 minute walk to Broadbands Beach but, beware... the walk back is up some very steep hills so we chose to drive to the beach where there's a sizeable car park with a short, flat, walk to the beach.
