Perfect for our family
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

Fantastic house for large groups
We celebrated an 80th birthday at the property and it was the perfect place for our family. Communication with the property manager Mandy was excellent and they were flexible where possible. The property itself is kitted out for large groups so cleverly - from the layout, to the crockery and glasses and even 26 pool towels, they had thought of everything. We were thoroughly impressed with the property overall and would highly recommend it for big families of all ages.

Beautiful Barn
We had a lovely weekend in this beautiful barn. It is very well equipped in the kitchen with plenty of everything including glasses and having two dishwashers was a real bonus. The huge table was amazing and 20 of us fitted round it easily, great space for socialising. The hot tub was well enjoyed by all. All in all great accommodation for a big group and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

Wow!
We have rented a large number of properties over the years to be able to bring our growing family together. Everyone agreed this was the best place we've stayed. I can't think of anything that would have improved it- everything we could possibly need was supplied-and then some! The staff we met or spoke to were friendly and professional. I would thoroughly recommend this property.
