Hen party women

If your BFF has made you her maid of honour, Holiday Cottage Compare can take the leg work out of finding a hen house for the perfect stress-free hen party weekend.

A hen party holiday cottage is the ideal solution if you want somewhere a bit different, in a location that's convenient for bridesmaids and other hens arriving from all over the country, and with its own on-site entertainment.

We have large properties that can accommodate bridal parties of all sizes, with relaxing options like a hot tub, swimming pool or on-site spa treatments to choose from. Or perhaps you would prefer a games room, tennis court or somewhere to store your bicycles?

As always, you can start your search in several different ways, including a specific location if you're all arriving from the same area, or by date if you want your hen do to take place on a specific weekend.

Ideas for hen party holiday properties

Our holiday cottages can let you lap up the luxury on the weekend before your wedding, with over 1,700 large properties that can accommodate a bunch of bridesmaids and other hens too.

We've got detached properties you can rent in their entirety, suitable to sleep 30 or more people and some with more than 20 bedrooms - you can even hire out a castle for a hen party if you wish!

For a smaller hen party, there are even quirkier options to choose from - a lighthouse for a party of up to six people, or why not a windmill with an en suite king-size bedroom for the bride?

If you're stuck for ideas, just start a search by date or location, or tick some of the boxes in our search options and see what you can find - there's no obligation to book unless you find the perfect party place.
