The best locations for a hen party holiday
A hen party in the Southwest
From Gloucestershire to Cornwall, the Southwest has everything – forests, moors, countryside and seaside. And what’s more, we have some fabulous hen party houses in the West Country. Houses like Alvington Lodge, a luxurious house where you can lie in a hammock or a hot tub overlooking the Severn Estuary. Or how about Newburrow Farm in Somerset, with its cosy cottage vibe and two outdoor hot tubs?
A hen party in Scotland
A hen party in Scotland offers stunning views, cosy fires and some pure Scottish luxury. At Cailean House near Perth, the luxury and the views combine when you sink into the wood fired hot tub with the mountains around you. For a truly memorable hen party, stay in a Scottish castle. Carron Castle combines history with a heated swimming pool and has a private beach with a firepit for barbecue parties.
A hen party by the sea
Take your hen party to the seaside. A sea view turns a hen party into a holiday and we have plenty of big houses perfect for a crowd, with views of the sea. Some, like Bay View in Cornwall, even have direct access to the beach.
A hen party in the city
If your hen party won’t be complete without a big night out, you need to stay in the city. A big house in the city gives you the best of both worlds, with the nightlife on your doorstep and a sociable base to recover and pamper yourselves. A couple of contenders are Riverside in Chester and Wallis House, with views of the castle in Nottingham.
The best amenities for a hen party holiday
A hot tub
Is a hen party a hen party without a hot tub? It’s a serious consideration when choosing the perfect house for your celebration weekend. A hot tub tends to become the social hub of a gathering and when they’re bubbling away to jump into any time you fancy, it’s the ultimate luxury. Check out Mulberry Tree Cottage in Norfolk which has not only has an outdoor hot tub but also boasts a heated indoor swimming pool and a sauna.
A swimming pool
Once you’ve ticked the hot tub box, a close second has to be a swimming pool, and all the better if your hen party house has both. Stowmeadow Farm in the Cotswolds is a great choice for a hen party and has an outdoor infinity-style pool with orchard views. Crofton Lodge near Cheltenham has a glorious modern indoor pool with a wall of bifold doors to the garden for summer days.
A Cinema Room
What an opportunity to watch endless romantic movies without any male grumbles! It’s fair to say most men prefer action heroes to star crossed lovers, so choose a big house with a plush cinema room and binge watch some of your favourite weepies. Solent House has a smart cinema room with a huge 85-inch screen, while Broomstone House in Somerset has a TV snug with a 65” Smart TV and Bose surround sound for added atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the best hen party destinations?
Hen parties are changing. Many of today’s brides-to-be prefer a more sophisticated proposition than a wild weekend in Benidorm. This more refined option can be found right here in the UK and a country manor is the ideal destination. Scotland is a great choice for big views and cosy evenings in front of an open fire. The Midlands, from Oxfordshire to Nottinghamshire, makes a convenient location if everyone is coming from far and wide, while a house at the coast has an enduring appeal.
-
How many people should you invite to a hen party?
How long is a piece of string? The numbers for your hen party are entirely for you to decide. Luckily, our big houses can sleep anything from 10 to over 30 guests in comfort and luxury, so you can invite your best friends and your great aunts and still have plenty of room.
-
What are the best things to do on a hen party?
It’s a good idea to put some structure into your weekend but leave time for chilling out too. Spa treatments are always a hit and some other ideas include cocktail making classes, a wine or gin tasting, and karaoke or a silent disco. If you want to make sure you include a bit of fresh air, you could organise a guided walk or pony trek or just take a short walk to the nearest gastro pub.
-
What are some classy hen party themes?
Choosing a theme is a fantastic way to make a hen party memorable. If you’re staying in a country house, you are in the perfect setting for a murder-mystery dinner party or a 1920s flapper theme party. Other memorable themes you could choose are Hollywood Glamour or a retro 1950s party. You can choose your favourite movie – maybe Grease or Breakfast at Tiffany’s – to build a theme around. If you’re running out of ideas, just a good old fashioned pamper party could hit the spot and set the tone for a sophisticated, chilled out hen party.

How to make hen party special?
Stay in an amazing house – that’s what we’re here for. Hire a private chef for a celebration dinner, arrange an activity – maybe a trip to a local vineyard or an afternoon of beauty treatments. Build in lots of time for sitting in the hot tub or by the pool, where all your best conversations will happen. Make sure you have plenty of Champagne, gin and soft drinks and plan at least one night that you dress up for the occasion. The rest is all about being in the company of your favourite people.

What to pack for a hen party?
If you’re in charge of organising the hen party, keep a few aces up your sleeve. Champagne for a toast, maybe a cake, surprises for the hen – nothing too tacky though, it’s a classy affair! Make sure everyone packs some outdoor clothes, a big night out outfit (even if you’re staying in) and some comfy clothes for movie nights and late mornings. If you’re staying where there’s a hot tub or pool, don’t forget your cozzies!
