August 2025

“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.

Glenn July 2025

“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

- Glenn, July 2025

Dear Mr Weston, thank you for taking the time to leave us a lovely review. It is appreciated. You scored us 75% for facilities. It would be so helpful to understand why that was so we could make changes/improvements for future guests. Victoria Property Owner
Julia June 2025

“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.

- Julia, June 2025

Many thanks for leaving us a review with some good scores for comfort. I am sorry you felt the shower wasn’t clean enough. We will look into this. We do weed the steps regularly by hand as we don’t want to use chemicals in case of a problem. I am sorry they were not totally weed free. Following the review I can confirm that the shower has been regrouted and the old mastic removed and replaced. I am sorry that it was not up to standard. .. Am glad you enjoyed the views and the balcony. I always sit out there when I visit. Victoria Property Owner
Richard May 2025

“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.

- Richard, May 2025

Dear Richard. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed our cottage and we hope the pirating was good as well! Victoria and Fiona Property Owner
Dean September 2024

“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.

- Dean, September 2024

Dear Mr Coyle. Thank you so much for taking time to leave a nice review for us. We would love to know why you scored us lower for comfort and facilities as then we could make improvements. Always call us if there is anything we can do at the time to improve your stay. Victoria and Fiona Property Owner
Ian August 2024

“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.

- Ian, August 2024

Dear Mr Callaghan. Thank you so much for such a lovely review of our cottage. We really appreciate your taking the time to do this. We look forward to welcoming you back again next year. Victoria and Fiona Property Owner
Marian June 2024

“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.

- Marian, June 2024

Dear Mrs Bamber. The balcony is cleaned and disinfected before any guests arrive. Despite cleaning there are many seagulls about and this is an unavoidable hazard. However, had we been contacted at the time, we would have sent someone to re-clean it immediately for you and would have been happy to pop in again mid visit to re clean if required. We are sorry this affected your stay. Victoria and Fiona Property Owner
Stephen May 2024

“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.

- Stephen, May 2024

Many thanks for such a lovely comment. We would love to know what led you to drop our scores on each of the 4 categories to 75% as we strive to make the cottage as lovely as possible and the listing as accurate as we can do. Many thanks. Victoria Property Owner

“Blue Horizons was a first class cottage.”

It was very comfortable,clean.Good harbour views.

Patrick July 2023

“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!

- Patrick, July 2023

Many thanks for such a lovely review. And yes guests generally find that once they have done the parking once it is OK! We have a pair of black backed gulls nesting on our roof so very much part of the experience! Victoria and Fiona Property Owner
Tim June 2023

“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.

- Tim, June 2023
David June 2023

“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.

Dear Mr Gannon. Thank you for leaving such a lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back sometime. Victoria and Fiona Property Owner
Jo August 2022

“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 .

- Jo, August 2022
Amanda June 2022

“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 .

- Amanda, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback. Brixham is a fully working fishing port. The noises from the Fish Market and the seagulls can be heard all over town. There is a picture of the kitchen on the website so the size would have been apparent before booking. It has a full size under the counter refrigerator which should be more than adequate for the 2 people in your party. The kitchen and bathroom were deep cleaned at the end of May. The owner came to the property the week after you and found no evidence of mould in the shower. The freezer compartment door of the fridge was not shutting properly and is being addressed. The steps are described as plentiful and steep - which is what they are and it would be difficult to describe them more clearly. Pictures of the internal stairs are on the website. Had you contacted us during your stay, we would have been happy to help with any issues. Property Owner
Jan June 2022

“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.

- Jan, June 2022

Hi there, the website does state that the property may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. The main stairs are also pictured. We do find this to be sufficient info for guests, but our reservations team are on hand for further questions. - The Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Jacki March 2022

“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

- Jacki, March 2022
Julia February 2022

“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.

Nigel September 2021

“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.

- Nigel, September 2021

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

Everything was perfect. Highly recommended.

- Jamie, July 2021
Kate June 2021

“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.

- Kate, June 2021
Diane May 2021

“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.

- Diane, May 2021
Terry September 2020

“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!

“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 ...”

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

- Malcolm, August 2020

Thank you for completing your feedback. The views from the balcony and around Brixham are stunning. On the website we do mention that there is a flight of steep stone steps which bring you to the front patio and entrance of the cottage. As the property is a fisherman's cottage, the owners chose the cream carpet downstairs, to help keep it light and warm, especially with the stone walls, solid or laminate floors wouldn't give a feeling of coziness and warmth. A shoe rack is provided just inside the front door of the property and guests are asked to remove their shoes upon entering. The sofas have been checked and have been deep cleaned. The balcony was found to be clean and the balcony furniture is brand new. The tiles in the bathroom have been checked and none were found to be loose Property Owner

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

Katharine September 2019

“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.

- Katharine, September 2019
Graeme August 2019

“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.

- Graeme, August 2019

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Blue Horizon. We've spoken with the owner who has asked us to cover the points mentioned in order to help yourselves and reassure future guests. We always carry out an annual post season clean of our sofas, carpets and soft furnishings and aim to that very shortly following a very busy season. We also plan to replace the heated towel rail and the garden furniture.We investigated your mention of loose tiles and were unable to find any loose floor tiles. Window frames were cleaned at the end of July. We made the decision to lay carpet in the dining room mainly for the warmth this can offer and have no plans to change this at present. Despite the points raised we are pleased you enjoyed the fantastic location of our property. Property Owner
Simon July 2019

“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.

- Simon, July 2019
Margaret July 2019

“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.

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

- Rosalind, June 2019
Roy June 2019

“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.

- Roy, June 2019
Karen June 2019

“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.

- Karen, June 2019
Malcolm May 2019

“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.

- Malcolm, May 2019
Martin May 2019

“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.

- Martin, May 2019
M January 2019

“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.

- M, January 2019
Anne September 2018

“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.

- Anne, September 2018
Rachel August 2018

“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!

- Rachel, August 2018
Marisa August 2018

“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!

- Marisa, August 2018

“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!

The property

Blue Horizon provides outstanding views of Brixham Harbour and Torbay from every window of the house.It is a two bedroom property set over three floors and has a fabulous balcony where you can sit at anytime and enjoy the panoramic views.

Character features including exposed stone walls and timber beams - a nod to the history of this property which has been refurbished to the highest standards making it ideal for a family or for a couple wanting a romantic break.

The house is approached via a flight of steep stone steps which bring you to the front patio and entrance of the cottage.You enter directly into the dining room which is the oldest part of the house furnished with traditional oak furniture to complement the oak beams and staircase.

A small, modern and fully fitted kitchen leads off from the dining room where views to the harbour can be enjoyed whilst preparing meals.

An open tread staircase takes you to the first floor living room with patio doors opening onto a sunny balcony, the best position to relax and enjoy the comings and goings of the fishing boats in the harbour.Also on the first floor is a large modern family bathroom with bath and separate shower.

A further staircase to the second floor reveals two lovely bedrooms both with sea and harbour views.The master bedroom is truly superb with double aspect windows looking directly over the harbour and further to Torbay.

The property is very centrally located.A short walk down the steps below the property will lead you straight to the harbour and town centre of Brixham, a vibrant fishing town with cafes, restaurants and plenty of shops.

By car, the property is accessed via the entrance to Overgang – a small and quiet cul-de-sac.Overgang is narrow and the dedicated parking is best accessed by reversing down and then driving directly forward into a long driveway located adjacent to Hazlewood Cottage.There is no turning space at the bottom of Overgang hence why reversing is recommended.

Enjoy Breakwater beach voted one of the cleanest Blue Flag beaches on the English Riviera or walk the coastal footpath through Battery Gardens to Fishcombe Cove or further on Churston Cove, both picturesque coves ideal for kayaking or swimming and often quieter in Summer months.

Take the ferry to Dartmouth or Torquay or enjoy a day trip to Greenway, the former home of Agatha Christie.

A delightful cottage for families or couples to enjoy across all seasons.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

BRIXHAM

Dartmouth 5 miles; Paignton 6 miles; Torquay 8 miles.

Brixham is a working fishing harbour located on the southern side of Torbay, the area known as The English Riviera, famed for its sunny mild climate all year round. The focal point of the harbour is a life size replica of The Golden Hind, Sir Francis Drake’s ship. The prettiest part of Brixham has small cottages in hilly narrow winding lanes leading to the harbour where all the activity is centred. Home to Britain’s largest fishing fleet which regularly lands their catch in the harbour, Brixham fish market sells to major restaurants in the UK. Brixham is the ideal destination for a traditional holiday with many family attractions around Torbay including two Blue Flag beaches, Paignton Zoo and many regattas and maritime events throughout the year. There are a host of safe cycle trails in the area, the South West Coastal Path and some of the best golf courses in the region. A good mix of relaxation or action, to suit all ages, where you are never far from the sea.

Note: No children under 5 yrs except babes in arms.
Note: May not be suitable for guests with limited mobility.
Note: Parking 2m wide, unsuitable for low slung cars.
Note: Due to limited turning space in the cul-de-sac we recommend reversing down the narrow road to drive into the parking space.
Note: The steps from the road to the cottage are very steep and internally there are two further flights of normal stairs between the dining room and sitting room and the sitting room and the bedroom. Brixham itself has many flights of steps throughout the town.
