The space

Bring the bride tribe together at Wressle Grange Farmhouse, a generous countryside stay in the East Riding of Yorkshire designed for sociable group weekends. Sleeping up to 14 guests across seven bedrooms, this Visit England Gold Award property gives you the space to spread out, get ready together, dine as one group and enjoy a proper hen weekend without feeling cramped.

Set over three floors on a working arable farm in Wressle village, the farmhouse has a lovely balance of relaxed rural charm and celebration-ready facilities. Think long brunches in the dining room, hot tub drinks on the patio, pool table tournaments in the games room and cosy catch-ups in one of the lounges after a day exploring nearby Howden, York or Beverley.

It is especially well suited to hens who want a private base rather than a city-centre apartment: somewhere you can decorate, cook together, book in activities, enjoy the garden and have everyone under one roof. With two dogs welcome too, even the bride’s favourite four-legged guest may be able to join the weekend.

Inside the house

The farmhouse sleeps 7 to 14 guests in seven bedrooms, making it a strong choice for medium-sized hen groups. On the first floor, the master bedroom has a superking bed and en suite, alongside two double rooms and another superking bedroom that can be made up as a twin on request. There is also a large family bathroom with both a bath and a wet room shower, useful when everyone is getting ready for dinner or a day out.

The top floor adds even more flexibility, with a mezzanine level, two en suite bedrooms, one double and one king, plus a small twin room with two 3ft single beds. The mix of doubles, kings, superkings and twin options works well for friendship groups, sisters, cousins and mums coming together for the celebration.

Downstairs, the social spaces are a real highlight. There is a well-equipped kitchen for breakfasts, grazing boards and pre-night-out drinks, plus a separate dining room seating 14 so the whole group can sit down together for a celebratory meal. You also have a snug, a lounge and a formal sitting room, giving the group choices between lively games, quieter chats and relaxed downtime.

For entertainment, the games room brings the fun indoors with a 6ft slate pool table, ideal for a little friendly competition before dinner or on a rainy afternoon. There is also table tennis outside, so the weekend does not have to revolve around leaving the house.

Hen weekend highlights

The outdoor space is made for a sociable hen stay. The large garden and patio area give you plenty of room for garden games, fizz in the sunshine and relaxed group photos, while the private hot tub is a brilliant spot for a chilled spa-style soak after a day of activities. Add robes, playlists and a few mocktails or cocktails and you have an easy hen afternoon without needing to travel.

The BBQ and fire pit create lovely options for low-key evening plans at the house. Host a relaxed barbecue supper, gather around the fire pit as the evening cools, or plan a casual first-night catch-up so everyone can arrive, settle in and start the weekend at their own pace.

Active groups will appreciate the lawn, football goals and table tennis table, while the games room keeps the competitive energy going indoors. Covered padel courts are also due to open onsite in Spring 2026 and will be available to hire, adding another brilliant activity option for sporty hens or groups who want something a bit different before the evening celebrations.

The property is also practical for a hen weekend. With multiple lounges, a downstairs toilet, several bathrooms and en suites, a large dining space and a drive, it is set up for group living. Whether you are planning a classy countryside retreat, a fun activity weekend or a mixed-age celebration with family and friends, the farmhouse gives you the freedom to shape the stay your way.

Location & getting around

Wressle Grange Farmhouse sits in Wressle village, just a few minutes from the pretty market town of Howden and only around 10 minutes from the M62 at Howden, making arrivals straightforward for guests travelling from different directions. It works particularly well as a north/south meeting point, especially for groups spread across Yorkshire, the Midlands and beyond.

Howden is close by for local pubs, shops and relaxed meals, while some of Yorkshire’s best-loved towns and cities are within easy reach for day trips or evening plans. York is around a 30-minute drive away, with the nearest Park & Ride at McArthur Glen around 20 minutes away, giving you access to cocktail bars, restaurants, shopping, river cruises, escape rooms and classic hen-friendly activities. Leeds, Beverley, Hull, Doncaster and Selby are all less than an hour’s drive, so you can choose between city nightlife, historic streets, spa days, race days, creative workshops or private group experiences.

For a coastal day out, Bridlington is around an hour away, giving the group the option of sea air, beach walks and fish and chips as part of the weekend. The surrounding East Riding of Yorkshire countryside also lends itself to relaxed walks, farm-shop stops and slower mornings if the plan is more retreat than big night out.

The owner lives nearby and can help with questions during your stay, and there is a list of suggested places to visit and hen activities available, which is handy if you are still shaping the itinerary.
