Far Horizon, Downderry

WHERE IS IT?

Built for an old sea captain because of its elevated position and outstanding ocean views, Far Horizon is located just 5 miles east of Looe and 4.5 miles from Whitsand Bay, sleeping up to eight guests. This bright and spacious beach house is wonderfully situated within two acres of sub-tropical gardens and 180-degree sea views across Seaton Beach and out towards Looe Island.

Seaton Beach is a large south facing shingle beach, just a stone's throw away with a lovely beach side cafe, restaurant and other amenities. When the tide is out, guests can wander along the promenade to the nearby Downderry Beach. If the tide is high, you'll see local fishermen casting out their lines and surfers riding the waves. Seaton beach is dog-friendly all year round and is a little known haven for surfers.

The sunsets at Far Horizon are magical and a great time to sit and relax on the balcony, in the hot tub, or one of the many seating areas in the garden.

Nearby beaches include Downderry, Portwrinkle, Looe, Whitsand Bay and Millendreath.
