Perfect for Hen Party
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

Terrible end to my stay
The property itself was lovely and the only issue we had was a bird coming through a hole in one of the ceilings, meaning we couldn’t use one of the bedrooms. I had informed the property manager that I would be having a birthday brunch the morning of the day we were meant to check out. The check out time (10am) was extremely early so I paid to extend this as much as I could (to 12pm). Unfortunately, the chef was running behind schedule which meant brunch was delayed. I messaged the property manager asking if we could have an extra 30 minutes to an hour to finish but they still came in to start clearing up. I understood that they needed us out of the building, however, I did not expect to be kicked out in such a rude manner. I was told that I had “overstayed my welcome” and I walked in on the property manager and another person clearing up saying I had “ruined everything for them”. I later had to pay a fee for extra cleaning. In summary, the property was lovely but I did not have a good experience with Bloom Stay and their property manager.
