Bed&Breakfast Diamond Collection

The Whalewalk Inn and Spa

  • The Inn was built in 1830 for Henry Harding, a renowned whaling captain. In the early nineteen hundreds it became a gentleman’s farm, known as Whalewalk Farm, then owned by the Kent family of PR Lorillard tobacco fame. With a cow and horse still living in what is now the Salt Box Cottage, the farm was purchased in 1953 and turned into an inn. Since that time it has been authentically restored and creatively redecorated. The common rooms are filled with the Innkeeper’s extensive Waterford Crystal collection, 19th century country antiques from England and France, fresh flowers, and oriental rugs for a warm welcome to start your stay.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our stay over Labor Day Weekend especially the picnic hosted by the owners on Sunday evening. For Breakfast, the outdoor patio is the most enjoyable setting we have experienced at a B&B and the afternoon goodies to enjoy with your own bottle of wine/beer were superb. Outstanding hosts just make it an outstanding accommodation.
