INTRO
Spending your hen weekend in York is an option that is only increasing in popularity over the years – and why wouldn’t it be? After all, York is one of those destinations that is classic yet contemporary, and somewhere that everyone always wants to visit. But if you are visiting such a stylish destination, you need a stylish hen house for you and the girls to spend your weekend in, so why not have a look at Shire Cottage?
Designed for the smaller, more boutique hen party, Shire Cottage sleeps up to ten people and is filled with luxurious touches, making it a perfect cottage for you and the girls to rest, relax and enjoy your weekend.
LOCATION
Shire Cottage is located nice and centrally in York, just ten minutes walk from the city centre, making it a perfect hen cottage for you and the girls to base yourselves at whatever your York hen weekend is going to entail. No matter what activities, or what nights out you have planned, Shire Cottage is located perfectly so that you can easily get home without spending a fortune on taxis along the way. Whether you are going to explore the shambles, take in the classic York architecture or just need somewhere nice to wake up, Shire Cottage is your ideal solution.
KITCHEN AND DINING
We all know that the kitchen is one of the most essential rooms when it comes to a hen cottage. After all, it’s not just somewhere that you prepare food, it’s somewhere that everyone relaxes and recuperates at different times of the day, so it needs to be somewhere that is equipped for the purposes… it’s also where the fridge is, so it’s where the prosecco will be! Luckily, the kitchen here at Shire Cottage has everything you could possibly need – oven, hob, nice big fridge to keep the wine in, microwave for warming up your leftover takeaway from the night before, and all the other little mod cons you’d expect from a cottage kitchen.
There’s also a great dining area, with a table designed to seat all of you with no fuss whatsoever, which makes it perfect for any meal you are having, no matter how fancy or relaxed the meal may be. So whether you are tucking into a casual lunch of crackers and cheese, or whether you are indulging in a three course luxury meal, you’ve got somewhere to all sit and eat, drink and chat together.
BEDROOMS
If there are anywhere up to ten of you spending a weekend together in this luxury York Hen Cottage, then one of the most important aspects of the property are the bedrooms. After all, it doesn’t matter whether you are going to bed at eleven or at three in the morning, the bed you are going to tuck yourself up into needs to be comfortable and welcoming. So you are probably wondering what the bedroom combinations are here at Shire Cottage? Here’s the breakdown:
BEDROOM 1 – Super King sized bed (that can also be split into twins) and a single bed, with an en-suite shower room – Sleeps 3
BEDROOM 2 - Super King sized bed (that can also be split into twins) and a single bed – Sleeps 3
BEDROOM 3 – King sized bed (Sleeps 2)
And for the last two people, there’s a double sofa bed in the lounge.
BATHROOMS
As far as bathrooms go, I’ve already mentioned the en-suite shower room attached to Bedroom one, but the real star of the show is the main bathroom. This is the sort of room that drips in luxury, with a gorgeous sunken bath as well as a walk-in shower, ensuring that whether you are looking for a quick freshen up or a bit more of a relaxed time, the bathrooms at Shire Cottage have you covered.
LOUNGE
The key aspect of any Hen cottage is the communal space. After all, if you are just looking at the practicalities of bedrooms and bathrooms, then a hotel is fine. But if you want somewhere with some space where you can gather, relax, drink and chat about life, the universe and everything, then nothing beats a hen cottage. So that was a roundabout way of saying that a good lounge is an important part of any hen cottage, and you’ll be pleased to hear that Shire cottage definitely has a good lounge! Comfortable sofas, a perfect size TV to catch up on Netflix while recovering from the night out, and the sort of chill vibe that everyone needs for a weekend away.
OUTSIDE
Just when you thought this hen cottage couldn’t get any better, along comes the news that as well as all of this indoor luxury, there’s also a bit of outside space! Yes, even though the property is in a residential area so you might not expect anything on that front, there’s a lovely outdoor seating area, which is a perfect little space to sit and enjoy a coffee in the morning, or a prosecco in the evening. Just another lovely little communal space for you and the girls to enjoy.
