Short Breaks
The right kind of escape
A week isn't always possible. A weekend isn't always enough. Whalesborough short breaks typically run Friday to Monday (3 nights) or Monday to Friday (4 nights), giving you the sweet spot — long enough to properly switch off, short enough to fit around real life.
All 26 Five Star Gold cottages are available for short breaks subject to availability. Book early for the best choice of dates and cottages.

A few nights away from the grind. Pick up on Friday, drop off Monday. Enough time for spa, beach, and a proper Sunday roast at The Weir.

Private hot tub, couples spa treatment, lunch at The Weir. A short break at Whalesborough is genuinely one of the most romantic things you can do in North Cornwall.
Couples Breaks →Family Mini-Breaks
Kids need less time to decompress than adults. A 3-night family stay — pool, farm animals, beach, playroom — and they'll be talking about it until next year.
