When it comes to planning the ultimate girls’ weekend or unforgettable hen party, the pressure is on — after all, this is more than just a night out. It’s a chance to bring your favourite women together, make memories, and celebrate friendship, love, or just much-needed time away from the day-to-day grind.
Whether you're the maid of honour trying to pull off a fabulous hen do, a bride tribe looking for luxury, or a group of best friends in need of a serious catch-up, finding the right venue and experience can make or break the whole vibe.
So, what makes the perfect girls' getaway?
First things first: the setting. A beautiful, spacious house with enough room for everyone to relax, laugh, dance, and unwind is a must. Even better if it comes with a private hot tub, a games room, and stunning views — somewhere you can feel like you’re away from it all, without being too remote to have fun.
And while hotels are lovely, there’s something special about having your own private space. You can come and go as you please, stay up talking until 3am, dance around the kitchen in your pyjamas, or watch movies with prosecco and snacks without worrying about disturbing the neighbours.
Gone are the days of generic hen dos and basic weekends away. Today’s girl gangs want a weekend that feels like them — stylish, fun, and flexible. Think of your time together like a mini-retreat: a mix of pampering, laughter, great food, and maybe just a little mischief.
Whether you're into bottomless brunches, spa treatments, or activities that are a bit cheekier (like butlers in the buff or life drawing classes), it's all about creating a weekend that ticks everyone's boxes. And the best part? You don’t have to do all the legwork yourself — just speak to the right people (we might know a few 😉).
Location matters. You want somewhere that feels like a proper escape, but also has easy access to local countryside walks, adventure activities, and maybe even a few cocktail spots if the mood strikes.
A base near Rother Valley Country Park or Pools Brook gives you the best of both worlds: nature on your doorstep and plenty to do if you want to get out and about — from watersports, horse riding and karting to scenic strolls and pub lunches.
A good girls’ weekend revolves around food and drink — fact. Whether you want to whip up something simple, order in a gourmet hamper, or enjoy a pre-arranged dinner and drinks package, the key is making it easy and delicious.
A buffet in your PJs, brunch with bottomless fizz, or a relaxed dinner all laid out for you? Yes, please. No stress, no effort — just good times and full bellies.
Time Together is What It’s All About
When it comes down to it, the best girlie weekends aren’t the most expensive or the most jam-packed — they’re the ones where you laugh until your sides hurt, take hundreds of selfies, and come home with stories you’ll be retelling for years.
So, if you're dreaming of a getaway that’s as fun and fabulous as the women you're spending it with, start planning now. Gather your tribe, get the WhatsApp group buzzing, and start creating a weekend no one will forget.
