Welcome to Charrington House - a characterful, easy-going base right at the centre of Osea Island life. Set within a historic Victorian building, this ground-floor apartment blends heritage charm with a layout that works perfectly for hen groups. It's social, comfortable, and positioned exactly where you want to be.

Designed for Easy Group Living

Inside, everything feels straightforward and considered. The drawing room is made for catching up over drinks, games, or a chilled night in, while the kitchen and dining area keep things sociable without any fuss. Whether you're cooking together, ordering in, or bringing in private catering, it's a space that adapts to your plans rather than dictating them.

Flexible and Comfortable Bedrooms

Sleeping up to 14 guests across a mix of doubles and twin rooms, Charrington House offers flexibility without compromising on comfort. The setup works well for different group dynamics, and with three bathrooms including roll-top baths getting ready is simple and stress-free.

Outdoor Space & Island Living

Step outside and you've got your own semi-private garden perfect for morning coffees, afternoon drinks, or a bit of downtime between activities. Beyond that, you're surrounded by open fields, gardens, and meadows, giving the whole place a laid-back, escape-from-it-all feel. Plus, with the outdoor pool just a short walk away, you can easily dip in and out of the action.

There's also plenty of scope to bring the experience to you. Think pamper sessions, outdoor yoga, or relaxed group activities without ever needing to leave your base.

Make It Your Kind of Weekend

If you're after a hen stay that's sociable, well-located, and refreshingly low-faff, Charrington House ticks all the right boxes.
