The space

Set in the peaceful Derbyshire countryside, Nether Burrows Farm gives your hen group the best of both worlds: a private-feeling rural setting with towns, activities and Peak District days out close by. This self-catering house in Kirk Langley sleeps up to 10 guests, making it a lovely fit for a smaller hen party that wants space to celebrate without being squeezed into hotel rooms or split across separate venues.

The setting is a real highlight. Nether Burrows sits within over four acres of land, with garden areas, meadow space and countryside views that instantly slow the pace. It is the kind of place where the weekend can begin the moment everyone arrives: bags down, drinks poured, playlist on and the hot tub warming up for the first soak of the trip.

For hens who want a weekend that balances fun and comfort, this property works especially well. You can host a laid-back BBQ, plan a big group dinner, enjoy drinks outdoors, book activities in the surrounding area or head into Derby or Ashbourne for bars and restaurants. Then, when the celebrations wind down, you have your own private base to come back to.

Inside the house

The accommodation is designed with groups in mind, with flexible sleeping arrangements and sociable communal spaces. The house sleeps up to 10 across a practical bedroom layout: one double bedroom with an en-suite shower, three double or twin bedrooms with en-suite bath or shower facilities, plus two additional single beds. This set-up is particularly useful for hen groups, as rooms can be arranged to suit close friends, sisters, cousins or guests who would rather not share a double.

Inside, the living areas are spacious and comfortable, giving everyone somewhere to gather between plans. Whether you are setting up a welcome drink, playing hen party games, opening gifts for the bride-to-be or putting on a film after a night out, there is room for the group to settle in together rather than drifting off into separate corners.

The self-catering facilities are another big plus. A well-equipped kitchen means you can keep the weekend flexible, from easy breakfasts and grazing boards to a full celebration meal. The property is also known for generous group dining space, so you can make mealtimes part of the occasion rather than just a practical stop between activities. Think brunch before a countryside walk, a dressed-up dinner on Saturday night, or a relaxed Sunday lunch before everyone heads home.

Although this particular house is ideal for up to 10, Nether Burrows Farm is part of a wider group of properties, some of which include games rooms and additional facilities. If your hen party is likely to grow, or you want to explore extra entertainment options on site, it is worth asking what may be available for your dates.

Hen weekend highlights

The hot tub is the natural centrepiece for a hen weekend here. It gives the group an easy way to relax together without needing to book a separate spa, whether that is a Friday-night soak under the stars, a post-brunch dip with a glass of fizz, or a chilled Sunday morning reset. It brings that spa-style feeling to the house while keeping everything private and low effort.

Outdoor space is another reason Nether Burrows works so well for celebrations. With gardens, meadow areas and open countryside around the farm, there is plenty of room to enjoy fresh air between the bigger moments of the weekend. The BBQ is ideal for an easygoing evening meal, especially in warmer months: set up drinks, prep a buffet-style spread and let everyone mingle without the formality of a restaurant booking.

The wider grounds also create opportunities for low-key hen activities. You could organise garden games, a mini sports day, a picnic-style lunch or a relaxed afternoon of photos and fizz. There is even outdoor space on site including a football pitch and wildlife areas, so guests who like to wander, watch the countryside or simply take a breather will appreciate the setting.

For a more indulgent weekend, the house layout lends itself well to bringing the fun to you. Arrange a private chef, cocktail-making session, pamper treatments or a craft workshop, then use the dining and lounge spaces as your party hub. It is a great choice for groups who want a celebration that feels personal rather than overly scheduled.

Location & getting around

Nether Burrows Farm is located in Kirk Langley, a Derbyshire village with a quiet countryside feel while still being well placed for trips out. Ashbourne and Derby are both within easy reach by car or taxi, giving your hen group options for shopping, meals out, cocktails and a livelier evening if you want one night away from the house.

The Peak District is also close enough to shape the weekend around outdoor adventures. Depending on the mood of the group, you can plan scenic walks, countryside pubs, activity days or relaxed sightseeing. Nearby attractions mentioned for the area include Kedleston Hall, Wild Park Derbyshire and Worth Brothers Wines, offering a mix of heritage, adventure and local food and drink experiences.

Because the property is in a rural location, it is best to plan transport in advance. Pre-book taxis or a minibus for nights out in Derby or Ashbourne, especially if you are travelling as a full group of 10. For daytime exploring, having cars available will make it easier to reach Peak District beauty spots, activity providers and local villages.

The location suits hens who do not want to be in the middle of a busy city for the whole weekend, but still want the option of going out. You can spend the day in the countryside, enjoy a hot tub and BBQ back at the house, then head into town for dinner or drinks when the group fancies a change of scene.
