Why Are Hen Party Houses A Good Idea?

When it comes to choosing where to stay for a hen weekend, there is a range of options. Most hen groups wanting maximum freedom and relaxed vibes choose one of the following:

• Hen party houses
• Hen party cottages
• Hen do apartments
• Hen party forest lodges

We would always recommend booking a hen party house, cottage or apartment for your weekend away with the girls rather than a hotel. That said, Glamping is definitely a fun option too.

Renting a house for your hen weekend is one of the most popular choices, purely because it gives you by far the most ‘together’ kind of experience, especially if you are a large group of hens.

You’ll have your own kitchen so you can either cook together or bring in a professional caterer to make you all a big fancy meal.

The other huge benefit of renting a house for your hen do is that often the large group houses come with really fun features such as:

• Jacuzzi or Swimming pool
• Open fireplace
• Tennis court
• Sauna
• Disco room
• Cinema

Can your Instagram account really say no to any of that?!
