Hosting a hen or stag party at a holiday house with activities: a brilliant idea!

A hen or stag party isn’t just a celebration. It’s a special time with friends, a weekend that marks an important milestone before the wedding.

Over time, I’ve realised one thing: the most successful hen and stag parties are often the ones held in a holiday house, with activities on site and the whole place to yourselves.

Let me explain why.

A place all to yourselves

When you choose a holiday house for a hen or stag party, you have the whole space exclusively to yourselves. No strangers around. No set hours. No need to leave at midnight.

You can:

decorate however you like
plan surprises
organise personalised games
enjoy a festive evening
chat into the small hours

This freedom completely changes the feel of the weekend.

A truly immersive weekend

In a holiday house, the celebration isn’t limited to one evening. It starts the moment your guests arrive… and carries on until brunch the next day.

It’s often these moments that stay with you:

the dinner you cook together
the games for the bride- or groom-to-be
the impromptu party
waking up in your pyjamas over a coffee
the heart-to-hearts on Sunday morning

A hen or stag party at a holiday house lets you create a real break from everyday life.

Activities to suit the atmosphere you want

One of the great advantages of a holiday house is being able to organise activities on site.

For a hen party, this might be:

a wellbeing workshop (yoga, massage, make-up…)
a photo shoot with the girls
a creative or cookery workshop

For a stag party, this might be:

a tasting session
personalised games or challenges
a sporty or sociable activity

And of course, there’s nothing stopping you from mixing and matching ideas to suit the group’s personality.

Everything happens in the same place, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

More affordable than you might think

When you split the cost of a holiday house between 10, 12 or 15 people, it often works out far better value than a hotel plus restaurants and nights out.

And above all, you get:

a spacious venue
a fully equipped kitchen
comfortable bedrooms
warm, welcoming communal spaces

You enjoy a full weekend without the costs piling up.

Les Margotteries: the perfect setting to celebrate

At Les Margotteries, I regularly welcome groups for hen and stag parties.

What do I love most? Seeing the group’s energy when they arrive, the camaraderie, the surprises being planned… And then hearing laughter echo through the house.

Sleeping up to 15 people, the holiday house brings everyone together under one roof, in a friendly and elegant atmosphere.

Everyone has their own space, while still sharing real moments together.

A memory that lasts long after the wedding

The wedding is over in a day. But the hen or stag party often stays etched in everyone’s memory.

Choosing a holiday house means choosing:

privacy
freedom
conviviality
and the chance to create a made-to-measure weekend

If you’re looking for a warm, private, group-friendly venue to celebrate this important milestone, Les Margotteries would be delighted to welcome you.

And I’ll be happy to play my part in making the weekend truly unforgettable.
