Cambridge hen weekend cottages Orchard & Willow | Hot Tubs

INTRO

Sometimes when you are trying to choose between having a luxury hen house or staying in a hotel for your Cambridge Hen do, it can be a tough decision. Because if you are a group of ladies who love to be in each others pockets and spending every moment together, then a hen house is a perfect option. If you are a slightly more diverse group (often including mums, or mothers in law), then you might want to have some quieter moments and be able to retire to your room when you need to. There’s no need to debate any more, as we’ve got the perfect option for you here at Orchard Barns, because this is more than just a hen house.

This is a selection of converted barns, all in the same courtyard, but with their own spaces – so it’s essentially like taking over an entire street of houses for your hen do, a perfect compromise! With enough bed spaces to sleep up to twenty four guests, this is a real stunner of a location for your hen weekend.

LOCATION

Just twenty minutes drive from the centre of Cambridge, and an hour away from London, Orchard Barns are a perfect home away from home for your weekend away. Fancy a night out in Cambridge? Easy to arrange. Fancy a night out in London? Just as easy. One of each? No problem. The contrast between the high energy city centres you can easily travel to and the quiet, relaxed vibe of the Barns is the thing that you will most remember. After all, it’s the easiest way to get the best of both worlds.

KITCHEN AND DINING

Rather than having one huge kitchen area, each of the barns has its own area, and each is well equipped with everything you’d expect to find in a modern kitchen. So whether you have a requirement (or just want) to cook different meals for different people you can do, or if you want to cook one big meal for everyone, then these kitchens are capable of that as well – they are very versatile!

Versatile is also a good way to describe the dining room situation. Just like the kitchens, each of the barns has its own dining area. However, there are also spaces in several of the barns where you could put some tables together and all eat as one big group, laughing, loving life and drinking glasses of prosecco – everyone’s best life!

BEDROOMS

The bedrooms are obviously split amongst the six barns, and there are a total of twelve bedrooms, which are arranged as follows:

BARN ONE – BEDROOM 1: King sized bed with a large freestanding bath right there in the room! (Sleeps 2)

BARN ONE – BEDROOM 2: Twin Bedroom (Sleeps 2)

BARN TWO – BEDROOM 1: King sized bed (Sleeps 2)

BARN TWO – BEDROOM 2: Twin bedroom (Sleeps 2)

BARN THREE – BEDROOM 1: King Sized Bed (Sleeps 2)

BARN THREE – BEDROOM 2: Twin bedroom (Sleeps 2)

BARN FOUR – BEDROOM 1: King Sized Bed (Sleeps 2)

BARN FOUR – BEDROOM 2: King Sized Bed (Sleeps 2)

BARN FIVE – BEDROOM 1; King Sized Bed with a freestanding bath (Sleeps 2)

BARN FIVE – BEDROOM 2: King Sized Bed (Sleeps 2)

BARN FIVE – BEDROOM 3: A hut just outside this barn offers a gorgeous extra king sized bed for that glamping feel (Sleeps 2)

BARN SIX – BEDROOM 1: King bed in this studio barn (Sleeps 2)

BATHROOMS

As you might imagine by now from reading the rest of this article, each of the barns also has its own bathroom. Yes, that’s right – that gives you six bathrooms for you all to use, which I think you will agree seems more than enough for any group of ladies. You won’t have to queue up for a shower in the morning or to get ready for your night out, with these bathroom options, you’ll easily find space.

ADDITIONAL ROOMS

With all of this space across these multiple barns, you might think that there’s nothing else to add here. But I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you that each of the barns has its own living area, complete with TV and comfy seating – so whether you are all gathering together or whether some of you want to watch one thing and some want to watch something else, you’ll have plenty of space to watch TV, drink, chat and put the world to rights.

OUTSIDE

And then, of course, there’s the outside. As these barns are all set around the same courtyard, the outside space is one of the most essential elements of this entire accommodation. There’s a BBQ and fire pit, under a huge dutch barn, so even if the English weather is being its usual unpredictable self, you can still all come together and enjoy drinks and burgers outside. And then there’s the hot tubs. Yes I said tubs, as in more than one. There are not one, not two, but THREE hot tubs here at Orchard Barns, and they are wood fired, large and luxurious. It’s pretty amazing really. Couple that with the stunning countryside views that surround you, and you’ll quickly find that this is one of the best places in the world to spend a hen weekend (or any weekend away with friends!)
