An amazing week-end for my 30th birthday. Friends and family having fun in these magnificent houses and outside. Thank you so much for helping making it possible Kim! I think I am going to remember these 3 days for a while... and everyone else as well.

What was suspected to be " just another " trip abroad....Dover Castle, Canterbury Cathedral, Beachy Head and Dickens world. Turned out to be a " wonderful" stay!
The difference between "just another" and "wonderful" is this Great Higham Barn!
This Barn became like our favorite summer jacket: we have to try it out every spring, over and over again.
And....just like the jacket, it will fit perfectly, over and over again.
Thanks for having us here -xx-

We have all had such a fab time. The bad weather was no problem - Hot tub > swimming pool and back to the hot tub! So much wonderful space inside - the children were never bored. The clay-pigeon shooting was thoroughly enjoyed. Everything is of such high quality - who would expect a food processor :-)
All mattresses comfortable - cannot fault anything.
Many thanks

We had a fantastic time! The barn has so much space inside and outside. Our group consisted of family and friends, there was enough room for us to move around freely. Great dining table, seated all 20 of us comfortably.
