The space

Set within 33 acres of private farmland in the Brecon Beacons, Onnen Fawr Leisure is a rural hen party base with space to properly spread out, celebrate and enjoy the Welsh countryside. Located in Crai, this collection of luxury cottages, a farmhouse, a converted barn and handcrafted shepherd huts can sleep up to 25 guests, making it a brilliant option for larger hen groups who want everyone close by without feeling crowded.

The setting is a big part of the experience here. Think rolling farmland, open skies, peaceful valley views and evenings spent soaking in the hot tub after a day of activities. It has the feel of a private countryside retreat, but with the comfort and facilities you want for a special weekend: generous dining areas, sociable lounges, gardens, BBQ space, games and plenty of cosy corners for slower moments.

This is especially well suited to hens who want a more relaxed, stylish celebration rather than a city-centre party pad. You can plan a weekend of long brunches, countryside walks, garden games, hot tub chats, home-cooked dinners, private dining or cocktail-making in the kitchen. With multiple properties on site, the group can enjoy together-time when it counts, while still having separate spaces for getting ready, sleeping and winding down.

Inside the house

Accommodation is arranged across three beautifully finished holiday homes, with additional shepherd huts adding a fun glamping-style twist. Sycamore Tree Barn sleeps 11 in five bedrooms and has a spacious open-plan layout that works really well as a central gathering spot. Its large, fully equipped kitchen and dining area is ideal for group breakfasts, grazing tables, celebration meals or a chef-catered dinner. There are two lounges too, so one group can chat with drinks while others curl up somewhere quieter.

Onnen Fawr Farmhouse sleeps eight in four bedrooms and brings plenty of traditional character, including a kitchen with an AGA and a welcoming dining table for slow, sociable meals. The cosy lounge has a wood-burning stove, creating a lovely setting for a relaxed evening in, and there is a second reading area for anyone who wants a breather from the main group.

Ash Tree Cottage sleeps six in two bedrooms and offers another homely space with a stylish living area, wood-burning stove and inviting kitchen-diner. It works nicely for part of the bridal party, close friends or family members who want their own base while still being part of the wider weekend.

For extra flexibility, three handcrafted shepherd huts provide additional accommodation with a rustic but comfortable feel. Across the site, the mix of bedrooms and living spaces helps larger groups stay organised, with room for glam squads, outfit changes and pre-dinner drinks without everyone being on top of each other.

The entertainment touches are a real bonus. Alongside the generous indoor spaces, the property includes access to a pool, pool table and table tennis, giving the group plenty to do between planned activities. Whether you are hosting a friendly tournament, keeping guests entertained while dinner is prepared, or filling a rainy afternoon, there is more than enough to keep the weekend flowing.

Hen weekend highlights

The hot tubs are one of the standout features for a hen weekend. Several of the properties have their own private outdoor hot tub, including lovely spots overlooking the gardens and surrounding farmland. They are ideal for relaxed Friday night arrivals, post-walk soaks, or a chilled Saturday evening with a glass of fizz under the stars.

Outdoor space is another major plus. Sycamore Tree Barn has a private patio, built-in BBQ and a large lawn that is great for garden games, group photos or an easy summer lunch outside. The Farmhouse also has its own garden and patio area, while Ash Tree Cottage offers open space and views across the Crai Valley. If your hen plans include a BBQ, picnic-style grazing table, sports day games or a laid-back al fresco dinner, this setting gives you lots of options.

For groups who want a spa-style feel without leaving the property, the combination of hot tubs, peaceful countryside and cosy interiors works beautifully. You could book mobile treatments, arrange a yoga session on the lawn, or keep things simple with robes, face masks and a slow morning after a celebratory dinner.

The games facilities add a lively social element too. A pool table and table tennis are great for icebreakers if not everyone in the group knows each other, and they work just as well for a casual competition between bridesmaids, friends and family. With multiple lounges and kitchens, you can create different zones for the weekend: one space for games and music, another for relaxed chats, and another for food prep or drinks.

Location & getting around

Onnen Fawr Leisure is in Crai, a small rural village in Powys, surrounded by the scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park. It is a fantastic location for hens who love the outdoors or want a countryside setting with plenty of fresh air. Nearby activities can include walking routes, waterfall visits, cycling, horse riding, paddleboarding, canoeing and adventure-style days out, depending on what the group fancies.

For pubs, restaurants, shops and a bit more buzz, Brecon is the natural nearby town to look at for daytime exploring or an evening out. Because the property is rural, it is best to plan transport in advance, especially for larger hen groups. Pre-booking taxis or arranging a minibus will make life much easier if you want to head out for dinner, drinks or organised activities.

The rural setting is part of the charm, so this is a strong choice for groups who want privacy, scenery and space rather than nightlife on the doorstep. You can still build a fun itinerary around it: arrive Friday for hot tubs and a cosy meal, spend Saturday exploring the Brecon Beacons or enjoying an activity, then return for a BBQ, games and drinks back at the property.
