  • Busy, well-equipped site surrounded by the open Suffolk countryside
  • Half an hour’s drive from Sutton Hoo; 45 minutes from the coast
  • Shop, restaurant, miniature golf, owl sanctuary and play area on site
Looking for a Suffolk spot with lots of open space? The dog-friendly Stonham Barns Holiday Park might hit the sweet spot. Well-placed for the Suffolk and Norfolk countryside and coast, this place is equal parts relaxing and active. The latter is very much helped by the fact that the site is part of the Stonham Barns Golf Park site, which has a whole host of family-friendly (and quite frankly fabulous) attractions… There’s a pirate-themed miniature golf course, a sensory room and a funfair with rides and bumper cars, which should all prove a hit with pint-sized guests. No need to go hunting in the trees: the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary on site has over 80 owls and daily flying displays featuring birds of prey. Catch a comedy or tribute act at the Aspal Theatre, sojourn at the fishing lakes or get creative at the pottery painting studio, all of which are on site. Among these attractions are handy foodie places too. There’s a tearoom if you’re craving an afternoon tea and cake, a restaurant powered by local produce and a village shop selling essential food fare. These pair well with the bar and clubhouse, which has sports screens and celebrity evenings, and a shopping village full of niche independent shops. Along with a showground hosting weekly events like car or dog shows and a Sunday car boot fair, these are all one to two minutes’ walk from the pitches. On the immediate site, however, the facilities include showers, toilets, a washing-up area, disabled facilities, wifi, a kids’ play area and spaces for kids to run around and let off steam. There's also a post office on site which provides cash back and other banking services.

What customers say

Stonham Barns offers a wide range of activities and amenities, including shops, a bar, and various attractions, generally appreciated by families. However, reviews frequently mention that toilet and shower facilities require significant updating and better cleaning. While staff are often praised for friendliness and helpfulness, issues with site maintenance, noise, and occasional overcrowding detract from the experience for some visitors. Despite mixed reviews on facilities, many guests find the site's entertainment options and spacious pitches appealing.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Quiet, friendly staff, plenty to do and Free wifi! Great for dogs as most shops and cafe are dog friendly. Also plenty of dog water bowls about the place that were constantly replaced with fresh water. Kids had a blast in the many shops plenty for them to spend their money on and keep them entertained.

Disliked Park in camping field needs repairs.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Absolute horror show, website is totally wrong, they have a new owner after site went into administration which we weren't informed about, we were charged £100 more than last year and when I asked why, we were told it was to deter us from booking as they don't want the campsite or campers anymore, the funfair has now gone due to apparently a young boy was electrocuted due to it's dodgy electrics which we found out by staff was a lie, it was because they doubled the rent to get rid of them. The shop owners on the site are all wanting to leave as the new company wants to increase Thier rents which they are going to struggle with the increase, I have been to this site every year for the past 4 years but will not be going back, when I asked the new owners which are cosgrove leisure UK all they did was blame pitch up.com and old owners, never going back and would advise people to steer clear.

Electric grass pitch

Liked What is there is well looked after,but my god they are missing the real potential of the grounds they have doing nothing.

Disliked Pub shut on Sunday,Monday and Tuesday,which as it seems is one of the money earners ,it’s not rocket science,if you’re not open nobody will come.Static Caravan s are fine once you have sold it,with the ground rents coming in,but with all the ground doing nothing and becoming a deficit, surely caravans,mohos,campers can make a great ready cash income as long as you have a real draw point.

Local attractions

With all the attractions on site, it might be a while till you look outwards in search of entertainment. However, when you do, the Suffolk coastline is splendidly within reach, as the site is on the A1120 tourist road. Thorpeness (50 minutes' drive), Aldeburgh (45 minutes) Southwold (50 minutes) deliver on walks, watersports and simple seaside amusements. This is also an excellent place to channel your inner historian and deep dive into the past. Framlingham Castle (20 minutes) is a Norman castle with a walk across the 10-metre-high walls. Sutton Hoo (half an hour) is just as spectacular, with two medieval cemeteries where a ship with Anglo-Saxon pieces was found. Perhaps pretty walks and eating out in restored Victorian buildings next? Snape Maltings (40 minutes) on the river Alde is a splendid setting for strolls and cycles, whether around the riverside loop or joining the Suffolk Coast Cycle Route 41. Take in the scenery on a river boat or sip on something caffeinated in the many independent eating venues in the Victorian buildings.
