We're pulling back the curtain on one of our most-booked hen party houses: The Brighton Manor. This stunning property consistently gets 5-star reviews, and after spending a weekend there, we can see exactly why. Looking for more Brighton properties? Check out our complete guide.
First Impressions
Located in a quiet residential street just 10 minutes' walk from Brighton seafront, the house strikes the perfect balance between peaceful retreat and city access. The Victorian exterior is elegant without being stuffy. This is exactly the kind of luxury house that makes hen weekends special.
Inside the Property
Sleeping Arrangements - Eight bedrooms sleeping up to 16 guests. Mix of doubles, twins, and bunk rooms. Every bedroom has its own character, from the master suite with en-suite bathroom to the cosy attic rooms with sea glimpses. See our booking guide to understand how group sizes work.
Living Spaces - The real star is the open-plan kitchen-living area. It's huge. There's a 12-seater dining table, comfy sofas arranged around a feature fireplace, and a kitchen that would make any private chef happy. Bi-fold doors open onto the garden when the weather's nice.
The Game Changer: Outdoor Hot Tub
Positioned in a private corner of the garden, the hot tub seats eight comfortably. It's heated, lit with mood lighting, and surrounded by screens for privacy. This is where most groups spend their Friday night, prosecco in hand. See all our houses with hot tubs.
Entertainment Options
The basement games room includes a pool table, table football, and a cocktail bar setup. There's also a Smart TV and sound system for karaoke or movie nights. WiFi throughout is fast and reliable. Perfect for booking a cocktail masterclass in-house.
Little Luxuries
- Welcome hamper with prosecco and local treats
- High-quality linens and towels included
- Toiletries in every bathroom

Location Benefits
The real win is the location. You're close enough to walk into town (or Uber for £5), but the street itself is quiet and residential. Perfect for groups who want to party but also need somewhere to recover. Read our full Brighton hen do guide for area tips.

Hen Party Friendly Features
The owners genuinely welcome hen parties (not all properties do). They've thought about what groups need: plenty of fridge space, a big dining table for group meals, a sound system that actually works, and enough bathrooms that there's never a queue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Large group hen party houses typically sleep between 10 and 30 guests. Most popular sizes are 10–16 people. For bigger groups of 20–30, you'll need a manor house or large country estate. Always check the exact bedroom and bathroom count before booking.
Key features to look for include a hot tub, large open-plan kitchen and dining area, enough bathrooms, a games room or large living space, outdoor areas for activities, and ideally a central location near bars and restaurants or good transport links.
For most hen parties, a holiday house is far superior to a hotel. You have your own space, can make noise, cook together, set up decorations, and stay up as late as you want. It's also usually better value per person and creates a more memorable, communal experience.
Hen party house costs vary by size, location, and amenities. A mid-range house sleeping 10–12 might cost £800–£1,500 per night, while larger luxury properties sleep 16–20 and can range from £1,500–£3,000. Divided among the group, this often works out cheaper than individual hotel rooms.
Many hen party houses do include hot tubs, and they're one of the most requested features. Hot tubs are perfect for unwinding between activities, late-night socialising, and morning relaxation. Always check if the hot tub is heated year-round and whether there's an additional cleaning charge.
