Our large group holiday houses are perfect for luxury hen weekends in Devon. With private swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas and BBQ lodges you’ll have everything you need to toast the occasion in style come rain or shine. You can have a fantastic hen weekend with Blackdown Luxury Lettings any time of year because we’ve got it all in hand for you – caterers, florists, entertainment, and activities. Make it a hen weekend to remember!
Let’s just make one thing clear before we go any further; when we say luxury hen weekends in Devon we’re talking refined and sophisticated, getting together with your besties and heading off to the country for a happy and relaxing weekend packed full of good fun, good food and good wine. If your kind of fun is the bride wearing L-plates and pink fluffy bunny ears whilst being pushed around in a shopping trolley, well, in the nicest possible way, head back to Google and keep searching.
The key to a really successful hen weekend lies in the planning. From getting everyone there on time, thinking about who’s going to sleep where and how you’re going to fill the time, if it’s well planned there’ll be less pressure and less stress. It’s always a good idea to schedule in some in-house entertainment – that way you’re not relying on the weather at all, and if you choose carefully it can be the jewel in the crown. Of course, our group accommodation in the West Country has plenty to keep you all amused anyway, with private indoor pools, hot tubs, saunas (you can have your very own spa weekend!) and BBQ lodges, but why not book up an activity or two to add a bit more to your luxury hen weekend in Devon?
Take a look at our Extras Pages and you’ll see that we’ve got a list of suppliers who are happy to come along to your large group holiday house to entertain you. Pampering is always a popular choice for hen weekends so get in touch with Devon Beauty Therapy – they do great Pamper Party Packages with all kinds of indulgent treatments like hot stone massages, waxing, manicures, pedicures, and facials. Perfect to get you all primed to put on your glad rags for cocktail hour.
If you like the idea of a massage but not the beauty therapy, that’s not a problem, Devon Beauty Therapy can do that, or you could book Phoenix Therapies. They specialise in massages, gentle and luxurious to relive all stress and tension; you can almost feel your worries slip gently away, and the other good thing is that if you were in any pain from injuries, a massage will work wonders. Choose from Swedish Massage or Deep Tissue Massage; go for a full body massage or head face and neck, shoulders, whatever. Entirely up to you, in the homely surroundings of your holiday house in Devon. Connect with your spiritual side with a Private Yoga Class from Fiona Kitson; she’s an experienced and qualified teacher who specialises in Hatha Yoga, she’ll show you plenty of poses and breathing techniques that are amazing for body, mind and soul. www.fionayoga.co.uk
If you’re a creative bunch the idea of unique in-house activities might well appeal. Crafty Hens will come to you for your luxury hen weekends in Devon, bringing their quirky range of workshops where you get to make something that you can keep or use or wear on the big day. Open a bottle of wine or two, put a big bowl of crisps on the table and gather round to make wedding day keepsakes or decorations, flower crowns, flapper headbands, cocktail rings, or gorgeous garters from ribbon and lace. They’ve got tons of ideas from memory books to bunting and floral wreaths to nipple tassels and burlesque pasties!
If you’re fans of the GBBO Bake With A Legend is just what you want; you choose a recipe and one of the nation’s favourite Bake Off stars rocks up with all the ingredients and equipment, and off you go; demonstrations, baking and chatter. www.bakewithalegend.co.uk
Verging slightly from the food theme, how’s about a wine tasting? At the time of writing Bray Valley Wines are doing virtual tastings where they send out the wine to arrive in plenty of time for your luxury hen weekend in Devon and then you all tune in via Zoom for tasting and questions. To give you an idea of what they do, they have themes such as Old World New Tricks which focuses on Spanish and Portuguese wines, and Grape Tickler, with the spotlight on two types of grapes used in wines from around the world – for example, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir . www.brayvalleywines.co.uk
If cocktails are more your thing hire your very own cocktail waiter from The Bartender. Have him come over to mix and serve you cocktails, or for a masterclass where you get to learn a bit about the history of cocktails and how to mix them yourselves. We like the sound of the Gin & Teatime Package they do – you get to mix your own ‘ginfusion’.
We’ve got plenty of ideas! Click your castanets with a Flamenco Dance Workshop from Dance in Devon, release your inner artist with Drawing and Painting Classes from Apple Pip Illustrations, get dressed up to the nines for a Casino Night with Imaginate Events, or take your ease whilst you sit and chat for a cupcake and cookie decorating workshop. Round it off with afternoon tea on the lawn, champagne and cocktails on the terraces, or a corker of a three course dinner cooked by one of our tried and tested private caterers. We got it all goin’ on when it comes to luxury hen weekends in Devon! Book yours today!
