Horizons and Cottages, Bermuda
Category: $$ Location: Paget Parish
⚠️ Horizons closed down as a hotel in July 2010. It was subsequently leased to the Bermuda Hospitals Board until 2013 for staff housing. It was later sold to a new owner along with Coral Beach & Tennis Club. Information below is for reference.
One of Bermuda's oldest and charming plantation estates, Horizons and Cottages was built some three centuries ago. It provides one of the finest views of ocean and countryside on the island.
Horizons Bermuda - Main House
Once it was the home of the Middleton family, and over the years the land surrounding it was used for varied activities as farming, quarrying, growing of tobacco, potatoes, Bermuda onions, and also, the Bermuda Easter lilies.
Horizons' Main House is traditional Bermudian in architecture, with its whitewashed keystone corners, knee-high cedar fireplaces and tray ceilings designed for coolness and airiness.
The late Alfred Blackburn Smith acquired the property, restored the Main House and opened it as a cottage colony in 1922. Horizons is now operating as a traditional Bed and Breakfast.
The Main House consists of 9 superior rooms all with a sitting area and private bath. From the rooms one can view the lush gardens. The rooms are of Bermudian architecture and are equipped with air-conditioning, safes, direct-dial telephone.
Horizons Cottage
There are thirteen cottages spread out in the beautiful landscape of twenty-five acre hilltop property. Most of them allow spectacular ocean views. All the cottages and suites have private gardens and ocean terraces.
The cottages contain from one to five bedrooms, each with private baths and a breakfast terrace. The Banana Tree cottage is a favorite for honeymooners.

Hello, I was wondering why the place has been not kept up for so long?? I'm a Bermudian USPTA certified(insured) tennis professional and was wondering if I could do a tennis program there for you. I've had to take a few lessons there with approval from Coral Beach. Seems to me that some tennis programming is exactly what the place could use. Thanks! Dean

Raj, Horizons...3 courts wasting away, I rarely see anyone on them! In this economy, Horizon's could try a free clinic night for the quests there in exchange for rent consideration. If not a fee could be paid if guests wanted to come to a clinic night. It could be deemed as an amenity. It may spark some activity. It's a decent location for me and programming like this is done all the time in Atlanta. It's just a thought. Thanks Raj.
