Unique hen weekends
Treat the bride-to-be like a queen with an escape to a quaint thatched cottage or large luxury manor, for an alternative and sophisticated send-off to marital bliss.
With the big event coming up, it's on your tiara-ed head to find the perfect hen retreat where the whole group can relax, sharing pre-wedding tales and clinking flutes of fizz. Whether you're a hen party looking for a weekend of adventure or a calm group wanting nothing more taxing than a private home pampering weekend, browse our beautiful listings to find the girls the perfect venue for making memories. For some, that means wandering to the neighbouring beach for mimosas on the sand before a lazy lunch looking out to sea, while sporty hens can hit the waves with a local surf school.
Whether coastal or inland, town or country, our carefully selected suppliers can add those extra little touches to take it up a notch, creating a bespoke retreat with raucousness and restoration combined. Hands up who wants to cook? Thought not: go all-out with a private chef to take care of your every gourmet need, then relax with an in-house spa in the comfort of your home-from-home. Choose from our luxury extras list or drop us a line to enquire: we love sourcing new ideas and stylists for unique hen weekends. Grazing tables, balloon sculptures, luxury car hire.. all in our little black book.
