Welcome to Grandeur by the Sea - a coastal manor that lives up to its name. Set on Osea Island and steeped in history, this Edwardian property delivers a hen weekend setting that feels elevated from the moment you arrive. It's big, it's beautiful, and it's built for making the kind of memories you'll still be talking about years later.

Space to Celebrate (Properly)

Inside, the layout is made for groups. A grand dining and library room sets the scene for long, laughter-filled dinners, while multiple lounges give you the freedom to split off or come together as the mood takes you. Whether it's drinks by the open fire or a slow morning overlooking the sea, every space feels considered and effortlessly sociable. The country-style kitchen, complete with a dedicated caterer area, makes it easy to bring in private chefs or organise a standout meal without the stress.

Bedrooms That Bring the Comfort

With 10 double bedrooms sleeping up to 20 guests, there's no compromise on comfort. Expect sea views, four-poster beds, and roll-top baths that add a touch of indulgence without feeling over the top. Six bathrooms, including multiple en-suites, mean everyone can get ready without the usual chaos.

Grounds That Do the Heavy Lifting

Step outside and you've got space to really make the weekend your own. Walled gardens, open lawns, and a historic sea-water pool create a backdrop that works just as well for laid-back afternoons as it does for something more planned. Think outdoor yoga sessions, pamper treatments, drinks in the garden, or simply stretching out and enjoying the setting.

Make It One to Remember

If you're after a hen house that feels genuinely special not just bigger, but better - Grandeur by the Sea delivers.
