One of Bermuda's oldest and most charming plantation estates, Horizons has been daydreaming on its sunny hilltop for almost three centuries. It is well named, commanding as it does one of the finest views of ocean and countryside on the island. It was at one time the home of the Middleton family, and over the years the land surrounding it was given to such varied activities as farming, quarrying, the growing of tobacco, potatoes, the famous Bermuda onion, and latterly, the Bermuda Easter lilies. Horizons Main House is pure 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. Three generations later, his family is still preserving the warmth and conviviality at what has become Bermudas oldest and most friendly Cottage Colony resort.
