If your group wants countryside charm without being miles from civilisation, The Essex Escape is exactly the kind of place that delivers. Sleeping up to 16 guests, this beautifully characterful farmhouse-style property sits on the edge of Colchester and offers the perfect setup for a relaxed, social and memorable Essex hen weekend.
Packed with original beams, cosy interiors and welcoming social spaces, the house blends rustic charm with modern comfort, giving your group somewhere that feels genuinely special from the moment you arrive.
Designed for Groups
Whether you’re planning chilled catch-ups, prosecco-fuelled games or a big celebratory dinner, this house was made for groups to properly enjoy time together.
The spacious layout includes multiple living areas, a fully equipped kitchen, a large dining space seating up to 20 guests and flexible bedroom configurations ideal for hen groups. There’s also a separate snug with a TV, perfect for keeping the group entertained throughout the weekend.
Outside, the beautiful garden is made for long afternoons in the sunshine, with a BBQ area and plenty of seating. During the warmer months, the outdoor swimming pool becomes the ultimate social hub for lazy mornings and afternoon drinks.
The Best of Both Worlds
One of the biggest advantages of The Essex Escape is its location. You get the atmosphere of a countryside retreat while still being close to everything you need.
Colchester’s bars, restaurants, brunch spots and activities are all within easy reach, while Chelmsford is also only around a 30-minute drive away if your group wants to explore more of Essex during the weekend.
The property also offers parking for up to 10 cars, making arrival and logistics refreshingly easy for larger groups.
Make Your Weekend One to Remember
From private chefs and cocktail-making to spa treatments and mobile activities brought directly to the house, The Essex Escape gives your group the perfect setting to create a hen weekend that feels personal, fun and completely stress-free.
