Welcome to Drift House - a standout coastal escape designed for hen groups who want space, style, and a setting that delivers from the moment you arrive. Positioned right on the shoreline of Osea Island, this is one of those rare properties where the location genuinely elevates the whole weekend. Sea views, fresh air, and your own private stretch of garden set the tone from the off.
Built for Groups
Inside, everything is geared around bringing people together. Two large reception rooms give you space to spread out (or come together), whether that's prosecco on arrival, games, or a slow morning recovery. The dining room comfortably seats 20+, so no split sittings or awkward rotations just one big, shared experience. Bring the weekend to life with a private chef cooking up a proper feast while you relax, or keep things low-key with a long, sociable dinner in.
Bedrooms That Go Beyond Basics
Sleeping up to 22 guests across nine bedrooms, the setup strikes the right balance between comfort and flexibility. Expect stylish doubles and a few elevated touches like four-poster beds and roll-top baths. With seven bathrooms, including multiple en-suites, there's enough space for everyone to get ready without the usual queues.
Outdoor Space That Delivers
Step outside and it only gets better. French doors lead onto terraces overlooking the sea ideal for drinks, photos, and those "this is exactly what we needed" moments. The private garden offers plenty of room to unwind, and it's the perfect setting for pamper sessions, outdoor yoga, or wellness experiences brought directly to you. Plus, with your own private steps to the beach, a morning stroll or sunset reset is always on the cards.
Make It Your Weekend
If you're looking for a hen house that feels a cut above spacious, sociable, and in a genuinely special location, this is it.
