The space

Swap the rush of the city for a relaxed Lincolnshire hen weekend surrounded by open countryside, pretty courtyard gardens and big skies. This welcoming holiday cottage at Elms Farm is a brilliant choice for a smaller hen group of up to 6 guests, giving you the privacy of your own home-from-home while still feeling close to the action in nearby Boston.

The setting is calm, green and sociable: think morning coffees in the garden, lazy afternoon drinks in the sunshine, and cosy evenings together after a day of exploring. The cottage sits within a beautifully converted barn-style farm setting, with outdoor dining areas, grassed paddocks and plenty of space to slow down and enjoy each other’s company.

It is especially well suited to hens who want a more grown-up celebration: less queueing for clubs, more hot tub time, BBQ dinners, countryside walks, pub lunches and quality time with the bride-to-be. The step-free layout also makes the stay easier and more comfortable for mixed-age groups, including mums, aunties or guests who prefer accessible accommodation.

Whether you are planning a relaxed pre-wedding weekend, a foodie gathering, a pamper night with the girls or a countryside base for activities around Lincolnshire, this cottage keeps everything simple, stylish and sociable.

Inside the house

Inside, the cottage is designed for comfort and easy group living. Sleeping up to 6 guests, it offers a practical layout for a hen party that wants to stay together without feeling squeezed. Bedrooms are calm and comfortable, creating a restful place to recharge after a full day of celebrations, while the step-free access makes arrivals, luggage and day-to-day movement easy.

The interiors are finished to a high standard, with wooden floors, leather sofas, wall-mounted TVs and a modern fitted kitchen. The living area gives the group a relaxed space to gather for drinks, playlists, games, films or a bride quiz before heading out. It is the kind of space where everyone can sit together, chat properly and make the weekend feel personal.

The kitchen is well equipped for hen weekend hosting, whether you are preparing a big brunch, laying out grazing boards, mixing cocktails or cooking a relaxed dinner together. Having your own kitchen also means you can keep the weekend flexible: late breakfasts, snacks on demand and chilled drinks ready whenever the group returns from a day out.

A dedicated workspace is also available, which is handy if anyone needs to check in briefly with work, organise suppliers for the wedding, set up a playlist, print an itinerary or create a corner for hen party games and planning. It adds a practical touch without taking away from the relaxed holiday feel.

Hen weekend highlights

The hot tub is a standout feature for a hen stay. It gives the group a ready-made place to unwind with a glass of fizz, enjoy a pamper-style evening or start the morning slowly before a day of activities. Add robes, face masks and a playlist, and you have an easy spa-inspired moment without needing to leave the cottage.

Outside, the garden and outdoor seating make the cottage feel wonderfully sociable in warmer months. Plan a relaxed BBQ lunch, an al fresco dinner or a sunset toast for the bride-to-be. The wider Elms Farm setting includes outdoor dining areas, garden furniture and plenty of green space, so the weekend can feel spacious and unhurried rather than confined to one room.

The BBQ is ideal for low-effort group hosting. Pick up produce from nearby farm shops, prep simple sharing dishes and let everyone gather outdoors while the food cooks. It works particularly well for the first night, when guests are arriving at different times and you want something informal but celebratory.

There is no need for a packed itinerary if that is not your style. The cottage lends itself to classic hen weekend activities: personalised games, a cocktail-making evening, a flower crown session, a private chef-style dinner, a movie night or a bridal memory quiz. The combination of indoor comfort, garden space and hot tub time gives you lots of options whatever the weather.

For groups bringing a well-behaved dog along for the weekend, Elms Farm has dog-friendly cottages available on site, making it easier for guests who do not want to leave four-legged family members behind. Just check suitability when enquiring so the right cottage can be arranged.

Location & getting around

The cottage is located in the Lincolnshire countryside, around two miles from the historic market town of Boston. This gives you a peaceful base while still keeping shops, restaurants, pubs and bars within easy reach. Boston is known for its large weekly market and farmers markets, so it is a great spot to stock up on local treats, brunch ingredients or picnic supplies for the weekend.

For a simple hen outing, you can walk to the local village pub for good food, or explore the nearby farm shops, coffee shops and country pubs within a short drive. If your group enjoys daytime activities, Boston West Golf Course is next door to Elms Farm, and the surrounding area offers cycling routes, countryside walks and wide-open fenland views.

Nature-loving hens can visit RSPB Frampton Marsh or Freiston Shore for fresh air and big skies, while those who want a longer day trip can head towards the Lincolnshire coast or even explore parts of the Norfolk coastline. The Lincolnshire Wolds are also within reach for walking, scenic drives and traditional market town stop-offs.

A large car park makes arrival straightforward for groups travelling from different locations, and EV charging is available on site, which is a useful bonus for modern group travel. With Boston nearby and countryside all around, you can keep the weekend as relaxed or as activity-filled as the bride would like.
