INTRO
When choosing a hen house for your hen do, there’s always a debate. Do you want to be in the centre of a city, but often cramped into quite a small accommodation, or do you want a larger, more exciting hen house where you can be loud, excited and do what you want that’s out in the country, but is still in easy reach of a popular city centre? Well, most people tend to veer towards the second option, which means that you definitely want to be looking at the New Yorker as a possible accommodation option. After all, it’s in the gorgeous Yorkshire countryside, and is a converted barn, giving you all the freedom and space you could possibly need.
Sleeping up to twelve people, this beautiful barn conversion has everything you need for a hen do, as well as a lot of things that are nice extras – and when you add in the fact that it’s easy to get to by road, has plenty of parking, and is proving to be more popular year after year, you can easily see why people choose the New Yorker as their ideal hen do house.
LOCATION
As mentioned, the New Yorker is located in the stunning North Yorkshire countryside, on the outskirts of the village of Ferrensby, about forty minutes drive from York City centre – so it’s that perfect balance of being far enough away that you feel like you are the only people in the world when you are there, but close enough that your night out in York is easily arranged, and transport (both there and back), is not hard to organise whatsoever. And if you fancy a quick trip out for a drink but don’t want to arrange any transportation, the nearby pub is just a five minute walk away.
KITCHEN AND DINING
Let’s start with the most important room in any hen house, the kitchen. After all, that’s where you’ll eat, where you’ll drink, and where you’ll inevitably end up reminiscing about the many, many nights out you’ve all enjoyed before. So it has to be somewhere that is suitable, and provides everything you could need. The kitchen here at the New Yorker, therefore, is perfect. It’s got all the mod cons and essentials you’d expect from any modern kitchen, and is also bright, inviting and somewhere you’ll all be happy to spend a bit of time. So whether someone is planning to cook a massive three course meal, or whether the most cooking you plan to do is just making bacon sandwiches in the morning, the kitchen here will not disappoint.
The dining area is good too – with a big long table designed to seat you all at the same time, so that you can enjoy eating and drinking together, without people having to feel like they’ve been squeezed in. It’s an open plan area that leads directly into the kitchen, so getting the food from one place to another is easy, so you’ll all be relaxed and enjoying yourselves throughout the meal and beyond.
BEDROOMS
It sleeps up to twelve people, as mentioned above, and these are separated across six bedrooms, that break down as follows:
BEDROOM 1 (Sleeps 2) – One king sized bed
BEDROOM 2 (Sleeps 2) – One king sized bed
BEDROOM 3 (Sleeps 2) – One king sized bed
BEDROOM 4 (Sleeps 2) – One king sized bed
BEDROOM 5 (Sleeps 2) – One king sized bed
BEDROOM 6 (Sleeps 2) – One king sized bed
The advantage of them all being the same is that there’ll be no arguments about who is sleeping in which room!
BATHROOMS
To go along with the six bedrooms, there are six bathrooms at the property, ensuring that you’ll never have to wait around or queue for a shower – whether that’s in the morning or before you go on a big night out, you’ll easily be able to sort that out.
LIVING AREA
The living area is somewhere else that you and the girls are likely to be spending a lot of time. After all, one of the advantages of picking a hen house for your weekend away is that you all get to hang out together and entertain yourselves with a glass of wine in your hand. The living area in the New Yorker is stylish and comfortable, with big sofas and a stunningly large TV screen to entertain you. And that’s not all – there’s also a pool table behind the sofas, so whether you just fancy a quick knock about or what to indulge in some serious competition, you’ll be able to see who is the best!
OUTSIDE
The outside area of the New Yorker is one of the most stunning aspects of it. As mentioned earlier, it’s a converted barn, and therefore there’s plenty of space outside, which has been well utilised. There is a pizza oven outside, along with a second large dining table (to compliment the one inside). There’s also a sauna and a wood fired hot tub – both luxurious additions to any hen do – that will prove very popular among the girls. The farm the New Yorker is situated on also has some animals that you can go and admire, and there is even a mechanical bull in one of the other barns, that you can have a go on if you think you can manage!
With all of these amazing additions, it’s easy to see why the New Yorker is one of the best hen weekend houses that we offer for the York area, so it’s definitely something that you should be considering as an option. If you’d like some further information, and want to get a tailor made quote for your York hen weekend including a stay at this stunning hen house, then just get in touch with us and let us know when you want to travel, how many of you there are and what else you’d like to get up to, and we’ll get it arranged in a flash. Before you know it you could be in that hot tub, prosecco in hand, having the time of your life.
