The space

Set on a large working farm near Poughill, this characterful Georgian farmhouse brings together the best bits of a hen weekend in Cornwall: sea views, space to spread out, a hot tub for evening bubbles, and easy access to the beach. It is tucked away down a private lane with countryside all around, so your group can enjoy a relaxed base without feeling hemmed in, yet still be close to the coast, a local pub and the lively seaside town of Bude.

Sleeping up to 16 guests, the farmhouse is well suited to a hen group that wants more than a standard stay. Think slow mornings in the garden, a beach walk before brunch, a chilled spa-style afternoon, then a big group meal and drinks back at the house. With multiple lounges, a games room, generous dining space and outdoor areas for sunny Cornish evenings, everyone has room to join in or take a breather when needed.

The setting is wonderfully rural, with farmland views stretching towards the coast and animals on the farm adding to the away-from-it-all feel. It is especially good for groups who want a celebration that mixes laid-back luxury with fresh air, coastal walks and sociable house time.

Inside the house

Inside, the farmhouse keeps lots of original charm, from flagstone slate flooring to wooden beams, while still offering the practical space a large hen group needs. There are 9 bedrooms across the property, giving your group flexibility for room sharing and making it easier to organise bridesmaids, family members and friends in a way that works for everyone.

The kitchen is a standout for group weekends. It is large, fully equipped and designed for proper cooking, with a double range oven and plenty of room for prepping breakfast spreads, grazing boards or a celebratory dinner. If you are planning a private chef night, cocktail-making session or DIY hen banquet, the big dining table gives everyone a natural place to gather, toast the bride and linger over the evening.

There are three lounges, so the group is not limited to one living area. One lounge overlooks the garden and has a large Smart TV for film nights, photo slideshows or chilled Sunday viewing. Another has a wood burner, a large Smart TV and French doors opening out to the patio, making it a lovely spot for pre-dinner drinks or a cosy catch-up after a day on the beach. The smaller lounge in the annex adds an extra snug-style space, with a double bedroom above it featuring original beams.

For entertainment, the games room with a pool table is ideal when you want a bit of friendly competition between activities. There is also workspace available, useful if anyone needs to check in with work briefly or if the organiser wants a practical spot for playlists, games, itineraries and decorations.

Hen weekend highlights

The hot tub is a major highlight for hen groups. After a surf lesson, beach walk or long lunch in Bude, it is the place to regroup with a glass of fizz, swap stories and enjoy the views down the valley towards the sea. It works just as well for a relaxed first-night welcome as it does for a slower Sunday morning before checkout.

The garden and patio areas give you outdoor space for the parts of the weekend that feel most personal: welcome drinks, garden games, group photos, a BBQ in the summer months or a relaxed brunch in the sunshine. With the farmhouse set in a secluded location, the whole stay feels private and spacious, which is especially valuable for a larger group.

A BBQ is available during the summer, making casual dining easy and sociable. You can keep things low-key with burgers and salads, or make it part of the celebration with themed drinks, a playlist and a dress code. The combination of kitchen, dining room and outdoor space means you can host a proper hen night at home without needing to move everyone between venues.

Guests also have access to shared leisure facilities at the owners’ complex around 4 miles away, including a heated indoor swimming pool and tennis court. That opens up more daytime options if you want to build in a swim, a fun doubles tournament or a quieter wellness-style afternoon. Catering, holistic and beauty treatments may also be available by arrangement, so you can shape the weekend around pampering, food and easy group time.

Location & getting around

The farmhouse is located near Poughill, close to Bude on the north Cornwall coast. From the house, a private lane leads towards Northcott Mouth beach, a beautiful spot for sea air, photos, paddling, surfing or simply sitting on the sand with coffee and pastries. In winter it can feel peaceful and tucked away; in summer it is a brilliant beach base for a coastal hen weekend.

The local pub is around half a mile away, handy for a relaxed meal or a first-night drink without needing to head far. Bude is close by and offers more choice for bars, restaurants, cafés, shops and classic seaside activities. Its two Blue Flag beaches make it great for surf lessons, beach yoga, coastal walks or a casual afternoon exploring before returning to the farmhouse.

For walking groups, the Atlantic heritage coast is right on the doorstep. From Northcott Mouth you can head along the coast path towards Sandymouth, Duckpool or back towards Bude, depending on how energetic the group feels. For evenings out, taxis or pre-arranged transport are recommended, especially for larger groups travelling between the farmhouse, Bude and nearby activities.
