If your idea of a blissful hen break is a hip designer house in Cornwall, then look no further than The Mill at Mesmear on the North Cornish coast which sleeps up to eight (two adjacent barns can sleep another four each, if neccessary). Tessa Rose has created a sexy barn conversion that's got all the benefits of a boutique hotel and all the privacy and personal touches of a private home – and is open year round. With the cook on hand to provide breakfast (sit in your oversized fluffy dressing gowns and read the papers until midday with fresh coffee and croissants), afternoon tea (around the fire after a windswept walk along the cliff tops) and a three-course dinner served with wine (and a lot of laughter), you can’t fail to have the most fabulous time. The outdoor pool is heated from May to September if you fancy a group dip under those beautiful Cornish skies.
The Mesmear team can also arrange for you to do any of the following activities, guaranteed to make your hen break the most memorable ever:
Learn how to surf - It's great for bonding with the girls and will give you plenty of street cred. on honeymoon if you can 'hang 10'!Learn how to bake - 'pain au raison', 'seaweed bread' and other delicacies are all on the menu at an exclusive class taken by Lin Tompkin, award winning artisan baker. Remember; 'The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach...' Pamper day - at the nearby and newly opened Cowshed spa at the St Moritz Hotel pampering yourself, or therapists can come to Mesmear and you can spend the day primping, preening and drinking champagne. Wrap up in that favourite old jumper and spend the day jumping down sand dunes and drinking hot chocolate on the top of a cliff. It will be one of those days you'll remember for years to come.Take a cooking course at the Rick Stein's Cookery School in Padstow.Golf, Waterskiing, sailing, coasterring (climbing around the cliffs with life jacket, and jumping off the rocks into the sea), abseiling, go-kart racing.
Whatever you choose to do during the day, the evenings will undoubtedly be spent around the huge fire, with a bottle of wine and your closest friends reminiscing about the good times you've had together and the excitement ahead. Bliss!
