The Heritage
A working estate, a luxury retreat.
Whalesborough Farm sits across 428 acres of wild Cornish countryside — and it is the heart of what makes this place so different. Home to alpacas, goats, pigs, chickens, donkeys, and the occasional wandering duck, this is a genuine working estate where nature sets the pace of every stay.
Wildflower meadows and planted woodland create a thriving habitat for wildlife. And our trails lead you directly to the South West Coast Path and on to the beaches of Widemouth Bay — all on foot from your door.

Summer on the Estate
The estate
in full bloom.
Summer brings Whalesborough at its most vivid. Wildflower meadows in full colour, the Atlantic swells building at Widemouth Bay, and the outdoor terrace at The Weir busy with long, lazy lunches.
The quieter weeks before the school holidays remain the estate at its most peaceful — spa mornings with the pool to yourself, farm walks in the golden hour, evenings beside a real log fire.
