Whatever you are planning, we have plenty of large holiday homes that you can make your very own for your hen night or weekend away with the girls. For more inspiration, take a look at some of our selected properties that are ideal hen night venues.
Tips: What better way to get the weekend off to a good start than to have champagne on ice ready for your arrival – speak to the owner to see if they can arrange this. If you want to organise special activities, make sure you book as far in advance as possible to avoid disappointment. Every bride needs some time to recover from her hen night and self catering accommodation is often cheaper during the winter and spring months. We have some superb large luxury holiday homes that can be incredibly cost effective when splitting the cost with friends – a hen night's the perfect time to treat yourself to a little luxury at an affordable price!
