Summary: The pictures don’t do this place justice. The complex has some great buildings. The barn is a great hangout space with some fab amenities.Some of the sofa beds are a bit tired (cottages) and lighting to and around the hot tub would work really well.

Summary: We stayed at this property for a weekend as a part of our corporate retreat. Both the property and the location are absolutely stunning, and the photos do not do it justice. There are so many things and activities to do and so much space for large groups. We are planning to book the same property again for our next trip!

Summary: Excellent! As a group of 23 we had a fantastic long weekend on the complex, between the main barn, the cottages and the oast we had everything we could have needed and all to a high standard. This is our second time staying at the property and we will be back for a third I am sure!! Thanks for a great weekend

Summary: Our second year on the trot - can’t find anything better in the area for our traditional family Christmas celebrations - ideal location both for us from the Netherlands and family from Plymouth

Summary: We had a wonderful weekend stay at Great Higham with family and friends to celebrate our 50th wedding Anniversary. It was perfect for a large family and friends get together. The grounds and pools were well maintained and rooms were very clean and comfortable. I would strongly recommend. Bloom stays.

Summary: We had an excellent stay and will be booking our companies next offsite there again. It was spacious, clean and just a beautiful property.

Summary: We stayed at Great Higham Barn for a friends hen do. Across the main barn, oast, cherry and plum cottages we had the perfect venue for a hen party of 38. Mandy was very accommodating, relaxed and helpful. The venue itself is stunning, good amount of space in the kitchen, snug area was perfect for ‘downtime’ and the rooms were all good sizes. It would be helpful to know upfront that the futons are included in the no. of people to sleep in the barn. Thanks again

Summary: We all had an amazing stay and couldn`t really fault anything. Just a slight issue with one of the doors but likely due to the weather. Location a bit tricky to get to due to snow and ice but once arrived views very spectacular. Really ideal for a large group as you have separate areas to go to so not on top of everyone. Looking to return next year during the summer so we can enjoy the outside

Summary: We have a traditional family Christmas weekend every year- this is the 10th and the best. The whole complex suited our needs down to a tee and as half the family lives in the Netherlands the journey was easy.

Summary: We absolutely loved our time at The Great Higham Barn Complex! We had our registry office wedding a few weeks before and then booked Great Higham for the (very low-key, homemade!) family celebration. No catering, no band, no decorations (not that any were needed in such a beautiful place!) and just a small group of people. It was so special! What a place to get dressed up and do our vows! Staff at Bloom Stays and the Housekeeper Mandy were super friendly and relaxed and very helpful. Very quick to sort out an issue with the heating in the Oast (fixed within the hour!) and everything was fully stocked, clean and lovely. The pool is amazing and the hot tub heavenly! The outside space is just fabulous, we loved sitting at the big table at the side of the barn. The living room area is huge and warm and comfy. Such a great place to hang out with friends no family! I didn’t stay in the cottages personally but our guests love them and the gardens are so charming! The Oast is a bit creaky and feels like an older property but it’s still lovely, clean and charming. But the Barn was honestly a dream come true! Exceptionally good value for such an amazing place. There were only a few minor things that would make this holiday an absolute 5 star in every category, and they’re easily fixed! The master bedroom in the Barn (Georgia on the new floor plans!) needs a new shower head as the limescale has stopped the current one working properly. The mattresses in the largest room with the shared bathroom (Regina!) are mainly springs so weren’t comfortable compared to others in the property. It would also be extremely helpful to have an inventory available for customers of what is in the kitchen and bathrooms. We took lots of stuff down with us that we didn’t need because they were provided, but forgot other bits that weren’t provided, so an inventory would be super helpful. There were loads of speakers too so we didn’t really need the ones we took unless we were outside. With the exception of the dodgy mattress all the other issues were super minor, and didn’t take away from a truly fabulous holiday! I can’t imagine having another excuse to rent such a large place again (although I wish we could!), but we will certainly check Bloom stays out again for smaller holidays!
