The space

Bring the whole bride tribe together at Kilminorth Cottages, a characterful collection of 14 luxury self-catering cottages tucked beside Kilminorth Woods near Looe. Sleeping up to 63 guests across 34 bedrooms, this is a brilliant choice for larger hen parties who want everyone close by, while still having the flexibility of separate cottages for different friendship groups, family members or early sleepers.

The setting feels like your own little Cornish village, with cobbled courtyards, landscaped gardens and peaceful countryside surroundings creating a relaxed base for a weekend of celebrating. The cottages sit within an ancient manor farm that has been carefully converted, so you get plenty of rustic charm alongside fresh, modern interiors. Book a handful of cottages for a smaller hen stay, or take the whole collection for a big group occasion with plenty of room to gather, get ready and unwind.

With a heated outdoor swimming pool, full-sized tennis court, private hot tubs in 8 cottages, a BBQ area, gardens and a pool table, there is plenty to keep the group entertained without needing to plan every minute. It is sociable, scenic and wonderfully flexible for a hen weekend by the coast.

Inside the house

Accommodation is spread across 14 cottages: 3 cottages sleep 6, 3 sleep 5, 7 sleep 4 and 1 sleeps 2. That layout works especially well for hen groups, as guests can be grouped naturally while still sharing the same site. It is ideal if you have bridesmaids, family, school friends and work friends all coming together but still want everyone to have their own space at the end of the night.

Inside, the cottages have been refurbished with open-plan layouts, modern styling and cosy original features. Expect comfortable living areas for chatting over a glass of something chilled, dining spaces for relaxed group meals and self-catering kitchens so you can handle breakfasts, grazing boards, cocktail supplies and easy pre-night-out food without fuss.

The wider site is where Kilminorth really shines for group stays. The heated outdoor pool gives you a fun focal point during warmer months, while the tennis court is great for a casual tournament or a silly doubles match before lunch. A pool table adds an easy indoor entertainment option, and the gardens and courtyards give the group lots of places to mingle, take photos and enjoy slower moments between activities.

Hen weekend highlights

Kilminorth is especially suited to hen parties who want more than just a place to sleep. With 8 cottages featuring private hot tubs, smaller groups can enjoy bubbly soaks, pamper-style evenings and relaxed post-adventure downtime. It is a great setup for a chilled first night, a recovery morning after celebrating in Looe, or a low-key spa-inspired afternoon with face masks, fizz and a playlist.

The BBQ and garden areas are made for sociable group dining. Plan a laid-back arrival night feast, a sunny lunch by the pool or a celebratory meal before heading into town. The landscaped grounds mean there is space for games, photos and relaxed mingling, while the cobbled courtyards add plenty of charm for those all-important group snaps.

For activity-loving hens, the heated outdoor pool and tennis court are real bonuses. You can organise a friendly poolside hangout, a fancy-dress tennis competition or a playful sports day without leaving the property. The pool table is ideal for easy evening entertainment, especially for mixed-age groups or hens who prefer a relaxed night in. Whether your weekend is all about pampering, food, games, coastal exploring or a bit of everything, Kilminorth gives you the space and facilities to shape it your way.

Location & getting around

Set near Looe on the Cornish coast, Kilminorth Cottages gives you countryside calm with easy access to seaside fun. The cottages sit next to Kilminorth Woods, where an ancient woodland walk leads into Looe, making it a lovely option for groups who want a scenic stroll before harbour drinks, lunch or an evening out.

Looe is a charming coastal town with pubs, restaurants, cafés, independent shops and a classic harbour atmosphere. It is a natural choice for a hen weekend that mixes relaxed days with sociable evenings, without needing the intensity of a big city break. Spend time exploring the waterfront, booking a group meal, browsing the town or heading to the beach for fresh air and sea views.

The surrounding area offers plenty for a varied itinerary, from coastal walks and Cornish countryside to nearby beaches, many of which are dog friendly. If your group wants activities, you can look at beach days, boat trips, waterside dining, countryside rambles or simply a slower weekend making the most of the pool, hot tubs and gardens back at the cottages. For guests travelling from different areas, the separate cottage layout also makes arrivals and departures feel more relaxed.
