Some hen dos want a celebration in a big city, with all of the hussle and bussle that comes along with that. But for some, a more relaxed option is something that appeals, and planning a hen do in the Cotswolds guarantees a truly memorable celebration. Renowned for its stunning countryside, charming villages, and luxury experiences, the Cotswolds is the ideal destination for a hen party that blends relaxation, fun, and elegance. Whether you’re looking for a laid-back weekend or an action-packed itinerary, a Cotswolds hen do offers everything you need to celebrate the bride-to-be in style.
The Cotswolds is often referred to as one of the most picturesque regions in England and is an idyllic setting for a hen do. Its rolling hills, honey-colored cottages, and luxurious venues make it a standout choice for a sophisticated celebration.
A Cotswolds hen do is perfect for groups looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and indulge in a weekend of countryside charm. The area’s combination of scenic beauty and top-notch hospitality ensures that every moment of the hen party will be special.
The right accommodation can elevate your Cotswolds hen do to the next level. Luckily, the region offers a variety of options to suit every group, no matter what their requirements!
For many, the appeal of a weekend away in the Cotswolds is to have some kind of cottage or holiday house to stay in. These can sometimes have hot tubs and can be absolutely perfect locations – especially if you are planning activities that can come to you rather than the other way around.
If you are looking for a more traditional hotel-style hen do, then there are plenty of options there as well. Everything from luxury and boutique hotels right through to more budget-conscious offerings are available, ensuring that whatever your requirements may be, there are options to choose from.
The wild card for a Cotsworlds Hen Do, but one that is proving increasingly popular, is glamping. There are a variety of sites in the area, some have cozy yurts, some have shepherd’s huts, and some even have treehouses with all the modern amenities.
I’ve already mentioned hot tubs in this article, but I’d be foolish if I didn’t highlight that since your Cotswolds hen do is likely to be all about relaxation, there are plenty of luxury spa options dotted around the area that suit all budgets and all group types. Whether you just want a spa to relax in or fancy a full day of treatments (or anything inbetween), options are readily available.
For those of you who fancy something a little more physical, you could look at the various outdoor pursuits available throughout the area – Horse Riding, Paddleboarding, Clay Pigeon Shooting or even just going for a walk through the beautiful countryside – after all, not every activity has to be rigorously planned, and going for a walk is just one of the many options available to you on your Cotswolds Hen Do.
Many other options are available to you for your Cotswolds Hen Do – everything from dance classes to nude life drawing to cocktail making to escape rooms can be found at different locations in the Cotswolds, along with many other activities. Whatever the hen fancies doing, you’ll find somewhere to do it and people to do it with on your Cotswolds Hen Do, making it a perfect destination.
No hen do is complete without amazing food, and the Cotswolds delivers on all fronts with a wide range of dining options easily available to all. Afternoon Tea is a hen do classic, and is always available throughout the Cotsworlds, with many venues also offering amended versions to include champagne, prosecco or cocktails to really push the boat out.
For more classic sit-down meals, the area has a wide range of options for you. All kinds of cuisines are available, with all kinds of restaurants. So whether you want to really push the boat out and find a high-end restaurant (there are even Michelin star restaurants nearby), or whether you’d prefer a classic rustic feast at a local countryside inn (or something in-between), everything is available to you and the girls, ensuring that the food on your Cotsworlds Hen Do will match your tastes and your budget.
Now we are at the elephant in the room. A lot of you may be thinking “well the Cotswolds is lovely, but where are we going to go drinking and dancing?” The good news is that there are plenty of options scattered throughout the area that will tick those boxes for you.
Places like Cheltenham and Cirencester have an array of stylish cocktail bars and all kinds of other nightspots that will scratch those itches for you (especially popular nightclubs for you to dance the night away). There are also, of course, a wide range of traditional pubs throughout the Cotswolds, and if you went for a cottage or holiday house accommodation option, you can even arrange to bring the party to you, with cocktail making, dance classes, private chefs and more easily available to be booked to come and entertain you right there in your own holiday home.
A Cotswolds hen do offers a unique blend of relaxation, fun, and elegance that’s hard to find elsewhere. Its stunning landscapes, luxurious venues, and diverse activities make it the perfect destination for a group celebration.
