Perfect Places To Stay On Your Somerset Hen Weekend

amomentwithfranca · 19 December 2017 · 6 Comments

There are plenty of reasons to choose Somerset for a hen weekend. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing escape to the country, a night out in a big city or something in between, this is a place where you can find it all.

You don’t need us to tell you that if you’re booking a weekend away, accommodation is essential. When you’re trying to find group accommodation for a large party though, we know that finding somewhere to stay can be a little bit trickier than usual. To get your planning off to a head start, we’ve rounded up some of the best Somerset cottage accommodation that makes the perfect place to host a fantastic hen weekend.

Tor Farm, Cheddar

Tor Farm is surrounded by some of the best views that Somerset has to offer. Each of the nine luxury log cabins on site has its own private hot tub as well as an on-site swimming pool that’s open for the summer months. After the ultimate pamper weekend? We recommend booking some of their relaxing spa treatments. Like most group accommodation, Tor Farm is self-catering but there are private catering services available. Perfect if you don’t want to worry about washing up!

Webbington Farm Holiday Cottages, Webbington

Webbington Farm is a family run, working farm. It’s set in the heart of the countryside whilst still being within easy reach of Bristol and Bath. The accommodation is comprised of four beautiful, oak-beamed cottages and there’s a huge ‘party barn’ on site to bring everyone together to celebrate too. If you don’t fancy a trip to the city, the quaint and quieter villages of Glastonbury and Wells are nearby or the owners of the farm will be happy to help you arrange activities on site from the wide range available.

Wall Eden Farm, Highbridge

If your bride-to-be loves the idea of the great outdoors but isn’t quite at one with nature then glamping is the perfect compromise. Wall Eden Farm has some of the most luxurious glamping pods in the South West and, if she’s more of an indoor girl, they also have some beautiful log cabins too. A weekend here is far from boring as there’s a whole host of activities for you to take advantage of. The family that run the farm are on hand to customise your experience from start to finish, making sure you have the best weekend ever.

Middlewick Cottages, Glastonbury

There’s more to Glastonbury than just a festival and a stay at the Middlewick Cottages is the perfect opportunity to explore this quaint little town and the surrounding countryside. Accommodation on site is split between 12 cottages, a luxury shepherd’s hut and three luxury glamping cabins and the site itself are set on several acres of stunning countryside that’s just waiting to be explored. If it’s a little bit chilly for a day in the great outdoors, you’ll also find a heated indoor swimming pool and steam room to relax in and there’s an authentic wood-fired pizza oven for cooking up some tasty treats in the evening.

The Old Mill, Taunton

The Old Mill is the perfect destination for a weekend of relaxation and pampering before the bride’s big day. Four historic buildings have been converted into luxury accommodation you simply won’t want to leave. The team at The Old Mill specialise in putting hen weekend packages together and will help make sure you have an amazing time thanks to a wide variety of available activities and a range of spa treatments courtesy of the team of Somerset Spa therapists.

You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to group accommodation in this idyllic bit of England, perfect for any hen weekend. With so much beautiful countryside around, it’s no wonder a weekend away from the city is becoming an increasingly popular option for brides-to-be.

The Somerset countryside is full of unique places to stay and is a fantastic alternative to a weekend in bustling Bristol or Bath. Our top tip for planning? Book as soon as you’ve got your dates confirmed to avoid disappointment.

Are you planning a hen weekend? Have you been in the Somerset countryside before? Are there any other places that you can add to this list?

✨ Happy Mother's Day✨.If you are in the UK, ✨ Happy Mother's Day✨.If you are in the UK, I hope you are having a lovely Mother's Day! 🌸🌸.We actually started the celebrations yesterday as Bella took me to @javawhiskersuk a new cat cafe in Westfield as a present for Mother’s Day. We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram

Peruvian food is one of the best in the world! It really is! And eating in Peru is a must! Trying any dish even if it is not neccesary a peruvian dish, it is cooked in such a way that the taste is just incredible! 😋 .While I was there for a couple of weeks I really made sure to try my favourite dishes again as well as new dishes and visiting classic restaurants as well as new restaurants and cafes that have opened in the last 5 years that I haven’t been able to visit. .If you go to Peru and stop in Lima, I really recommend you to visit @elmercadorestaurante, @cafedelima, @bottega_dasso, @panchitasazoncriolla, @eltiomario_restaurant, @lacaffettedilonato, @churreriamanolope, @franklinrestaurante, @lalamiraflores, @osakanikkei, @elpandelachola, @mattoniperu, @laterrazadelpardo, @cafevictoria_barranco among others!
