Maple House / Birmingham Self Catering

Tennis court, hot tub, croquet lawn, 34-acre grounds, yes, you'd be forgiven for thinking this isn't your run-of-the-mill hen house and you're right, it isn't, it's so much more! It's majestic, it's sophisticated, it's "OMG look at the ruddy size of the place!!" and it's the ideal destination to whisk the bride-to-be for her mini escape to the country.

Situated in the picturesque Warwickshire countryside, this impressive manor house makes for an unforgettable start to that fabulous weekend. With its high ceilings, large windows, spacious rooms and rustic décor it really is something extra special.

Downstairs, you'll find a large drawing room with speakers for you to blare out the party tunes, some comfy sofas to sprawl out on and there's even a grand piano (of course there is, everything about this place is grand!). The Nigella amongst you will be at home in the large kitchen which features three ovens, plus there's a sizeable dining room table where you can all gather to enjoy that delicious hen feast.

On the days you aren't venturing out and about, exploring the stunning surroundings, there's a snug with a projector and a pull-down screen which is perfect for a big movie night. There's also a games room where competitive hens can get their sporting fix with a three-quarter-sized snooker table and a table tennis table.

When the sun's shining you the girls can head outdoors and explore the thirty-four acres of woodland, parkland and lawns, have a long old soak in the hot tub with a large glass of wine or even have a game of tennis (loser cooks dinner!) - you'll need to bring your own racket and balls.

Elsewhere, there are ten bedrooms and twenty-two comfy beds so you'll have loads of space to relax and recline and there's even a wine cellar (please ask for more details!).

So give the bride a spectacular send-off in this spectacular setting! Book today!
