If your group wants an Exeter hen weekend that's more about quality time, countryside views and having your own private space to celebrate properly, Tarka Retreat is exactly the sort of place you'll love. Set within 30 acres of stunning Mid-Devon countryside, this beautifully renovated Grade II listed farmstead gives your group exclusive use of woodland, riverside walks, open pastureland and huge outdoor spaces perfect for games, drinks and relaxed afternoons in the sunshine.
Sleeping up to 30 guests across 13 bedrooms, it's ideal for larger hen groups wanting everyone together in one memorable setting.
Space to Celebrate Together
Inside, Tarka Retreat combines original character with all the comforts needed for a brilliant group stay. The huge dining room seats all 30 guests, making group meals and private dining experiences easy, while the fully-equipped farmhouse kitchen includes multiple ovens, a large hob, fridges, freezer and plenty of space for cooking, grazing and prosecco pouring.
The house also features two large living rooms, a cosy snug and a brilliant games room with pool table, darts and table tennis, giving your group loads of sociable space throughout the weekend.
Whether you're planning wholesome catch-ups by the wood burner or full-on games night energy, the house gives your group room to do both.
Bring the Activities to You
Tarka Retreat works perfectly for mobile hen activities, meaning your group can enjoy the fun without needing to leave the property. Think private cocktail classes, pamper treatments, yoga sessions, life drawing, archery or even a private chef cooking for the group while everyone relaxes.
The gardens and outdoor space also make it ideal for garden games, al fresco drinks and making the most of the countryside setting.
Countryside Relaxation with Exeter Nearby
While Tarka Retreat is all about escaping to the countryside, Exeter is still within reach for groups wanting a daytime trip for shopping, brunches or cocktails before heading back to your private retreat for the evening.
