Some hen dos want a celebration in a big city, with all of the hustle and bustle 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 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. While there are plenty of luxury hotels, the real magic of the Cotswolds is finding a private **Party House** or **Cottage**.
These properties give you a home-from-home vibe. For large groups, we highly recommend The Great Barn, a superbly presented property sleeping 16 with en-suite bedrooms. If you want something with a bit of spa luxury, check out the Stylish Retreat near Bristol, or the stunning Cotswolds Oasis which features a hot tub and plenty of space to celebrate.
For smaller groups wanting a cozy escape, Pine Cottage sleeps 11 and includes a state-of-the-art hot tub in a private garden.
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. Whether you just want a spa to relax in or fancy a full day of treatments, 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, or Clay Pigeon Shooting.
If you prefer to stay indoors, we can bring the fun to you. Everything from Dance Classes to Nude Life Drawing and Cocktail Making can be hosted right there in your holiday home.
No hen do is complete without amazing food. Afternoon Tea is a hen do classic, and is always available throughout the Cotswolds, with many venues also offering amended versions to include champagne to really push the boat out.
Now we are at the elephant in the room: Nightlife. 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.
Places like **Cheltenham** and **Cirencester** have an array of stylish cocktail bars and nightclubs that will scratch those itches for you. There are also, of course, a wide range of traditional pubs throughout the villages for a more relaxed evening of gin and laughter.
