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

Family staycation for NYE
Me and my family stayed here over the New Years Eve period and we couldn't have asked for anymore! The Barn is huge and so cosy with lots of areas to relax, a huge table to sit round, lots of bedrooms, and all appliances you would need are already there for you, an all round great place to stay, we didn't need to leave once! We will definitely be returning!

An amazing stay, with absolutely everything you could think of for your stay.
From the moment we arrived and even before the house manager was extremely helpful and did everything that they could to help us. She replied to any pre arrival contact with helpful answers and helped us to prepare for our arrival. Once there we quickly realised the house had absolutely everything you would need for our stay and there was a lot of space considering we had 26 people. We managed to even get 26 round the big main dining area table (with a squeeze). There were adequate bathrooms and the place was very tidy and clean. We were able to get Indian delivered while there and paid for a chef to come in. There were two large fridges, one smaller fridge and a tall freezer so we’re easily able to store everything. There were two dishwashers and the tablets were already there, along with oven gloves, washing up liquid etc. thank you for an amazing stay! We couldn’t have asked for a better house.
