Booked with GoHen?
Booked with GoHen? Groupia Ltd entered administration on 16 June 2026 and new GoHen bookings have stopped. We cannot process GoHen refunds - those go through ABTOT - but we can help you rebuild: a hen-friendly house plus activities you book direct.
Hen Hideaways is for organisers building the weekend themselves. Every house is pre-verified for hen parties; nearby activities are listed on each house page so you can shortlist and message providers without dozens of search tabs. You book direct with owners and suppliers, so your money is not tied up in one package deposit. You stay in control - you are not wholly reliant on one package organiser.

Hen Hideaways vs GoHen
GoHen bundled houses and activities through one package company. When Groupia entered administration in June 2026, customers with one deposit for the whole weekend were left chasing refunds. Hen Hideaways lets you build your own hen do package - choose each part and book direct with the supplier, so payments go to owners and providers separately.
