The space

Set on one of Cheltenham’s most prestigious streets, Longworth Villa is a grand Regency townhouse with the space, style and entertainment factor to host a sophisticated hen weekend in the Cotswolds. Think elegant interiors, big social rooms, a private garden with a hot tub, and a basement made for late-afternoon games, karaoke warm-ups and film-night recovery sessions.

The house is ideal for groups of up to 16 guests as standard, giving everyone room to spread out without losing that all-together atmosphere. It works beautifully for hens who want a weekend that balances celebration with comfort: brunch around the dining table, pamper treatments at the house, cocktails in Cheltenham, then a relaxed soak in the hot tub before winding down indoors.

There is off-road parking for up to 10 cars, so it is easy for guests travelling from different parts of the UK to meet here. Cheltenham Spa train station is also around a 5-minute walk away, making arrivals simple for those coming by rail.

Inside the house

Longworth Villa has the feel of a smart private residence, with generous proportions and plenty of places for the group to come together. The impressive entrance hall leads into an elegant drawing room with an original feature fireplace and a huge TV, a lovely setting for welcome drinks, present opening or a relaxed evening in. There is also a further lounge within the apartment area, complete with comfortable sofas and another large TV, so the group can split off for quieter chats or post-night-out downtime.

The kitchen is well equipped for group stays, with a top-of-the-line range cooker and a breakfast bar for coffee, fizz and grazing boards. Leading from the kitchen, the dining room is a real highlight: spacious, atmospheric and set around an open fireplace, giving you a proper sit-down space for a catered meal, DIY supper, hen party games or a celebratory breakfast before heading into town.

Bedrooms are bright, spacious and arranged as doubles, with the standard group set-up sleeping up to 16 guests across 8 double bedrooms. Many rooms have en suite bathrooms, adding comfort and convenience for a full house getting ready at the same time. One bathroom includes a steam room and whirlpool, which adds a lovely spa-style touch to the weekend.

Downstairs, the large basement area brings serious entertainment value. There is a 4K UHD 3-metre screen for films, sport or karaoke, plus a bar area for mixing drinks before a night out. The games and activity options include a pool table, table tennis, weights, a static bike and a cross trainer. A piano may also be available by prior agreement, with an additional deposit required.

Hen weekend highlights

The private garden and terrace make this house a great choice for hens who want outdoor space as well as elegant interiors. There is seating for al fresco dining, a BBQ for relaxed summer lunches, and a hot tub that works brilliantly for a chilled afternoon with the bridal party. Please note there is a 10pm garden and hot tub curfew, so it is best enjoyed earlier in the day or before heading inside for the evening.

For a pamper-led itinerary, visiting therapists can be arranged to come to the property, making it easy to add massages, beauty treatments or a relaxing session without needing taxis or extra logistics. Pair that with the steam room, whirlpool bathroom and hot tub, and you have all the ingredients for a spa-style hen weekend from the comfort of the house.

The basement is ideal for a playful night in: set up karaoke on the big screen, run a pool or table tennis tournament, or create a mini cinema night for the morning after. The bar area gives the group a natural gathering point, while the large dining room is made for hen party games, cocktail masterclasses, private chef dinners or a themed supper.

There is also workspace available, which can be useful if someone needs a quiet corner for planning surprises, setting up a playlist, laying out decorations or handling last-minute itinerary details.

Location & getting around

The location is a major plus for a hen weekend in Cheltenham. Longworth Villa is around a 5-minute walk from Cheltenham Spa train station, so guests arriving from London, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff or the Midlands can reach the house without complicated transfers. With off-road parking for up to 10 cars, driving is equally straightforward.

You are also close to Montpellier, one of Cheltenham’s most stylish districts, known for its designer shops, independent boutiques, wine bars, cocktail spots and upmarket restaurants. It is an easy area to explore on foot, whether you are planning a relaxed brunch, afternoon shopping, a smart dinner or a few drinks before returning to the villa.

Cheltenham itself is a brilliant hen destination for groups who want charm, good food and plenty to do without the intensity of a major city. Plan a spa-inspired weekend, book a private dining experience, explore the town’s bars, visit the racecourse during festival season, or use the villa as a base for Cotswolds activities and countryside pub lunches nearby.

The house is made for sociable stays, but it is not a venue for wild partying. Groups are asked to respect the 10pm garden and hot tub curfew and keep the celebration considerate, particularly in the evenings.
