The place was immaculate and perfectly suited to our family grouping of 15. Accessibility was great too for our 98 year old father. The kitchen is superbly stocked with a huge variety of utensils too which made life very easy. We used the large kitchen table for breakfasts as and when people emerged each morning, and then ate all together on the wonderful dining table each evening.
The garden area was lovely for family games frisbee etc, and tennis court a great addition, though we did have to pop out to buy some balls.
On one day we headed off to do go karting about 30 mins away.
The grounds are beautiful to walk around too.

I booked Great Higham Barn for my daughter’s Hen weekend. We had 22 guests staying over night. Everyone had a comfortable nights sleep and the bathroom facilities were plenty for us all. The shared spaces were perfect for everything we had planned. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of space for us all to eat together. The lounge area was spacious and really comfortable. The facilities were perfect for all we wanted to do. Bloomstays were really helpful as was Mandy who was especially helpful. We loved the pool and hot tub as well. I’d recommend this venue, we had a fabulous time.

We all absolutely loved this barn - from start to finish the booking process, organising key collection and return was super easy and friendly.
We had our ten year anniversary party here with friends and family, we loved the tennis and swimming and the hot tub being exclusive was an added bonus!
There are so many utilities included we only needed to bring food and drink! The only other thing we needed to get way foil and kitchen roll but dishwasher tabs, tea and coffee all provided which we loved.
We would come back in a heartbeat.

Review Great Higham Barn
Our family spent a memorable five days at Great Higham Barn which was the perfect accommodation for our family gathering. Our party consisted of 8 adults and 9 children and my only concern beforehand was that 6 grandchildren would have to share one bedroom. The cousins loved it and after the first night when everyone was far too excited to sleep, with some careful organising of bedtime by age, everyone got some rest. Excited children early in the morning was slightly more problematical but it worked well for us.
The barn is spacious with plenty of room for everyone, comfortably furnished, clean and amazingly well equipped. There are masses of glasses, plates (all sizes), cutlery and every cooking aid you could wish for. The main problem was finding everything, remembering where it was and then remembering where to put it back. I’m not sure we succeeded there.
There are two of every appliance – cooker, microwaves, dishwashers (constantly on the go), three fridges and two freezers, masses of saucepans and serving dishes and a washer and tumble dryer. All bedding is supplied as well as towels both for bathrooms and the swimming pool and hot tub.
Downstairs is laid out for mass dining and games on the two dining tables. The main one is huge but the smaller – only seats about 12 - was ideal for breakfast and smaller card games. Upstairs are two main areas joined by a walkway which overlooks the ground floor and there are two seating areas and a huge t
