Stonham Barns Holiday Park

Positiv Always like going to Stonham Barns been going sometime now, friendly staff and plenty to do with the golf courses and fishing plus the owl sanctuary. Did miss the fun fair.

Negativ Though the toilet blocks had improved but still not up to standard. The disposable waste had over flowed and not use able. Also the rubbish bins were overflowing.

Positiv Great family friendly place. Our first time camping and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. We have a 7 year old and a 13 month old and there was so much to do and so much is there for all ages. We booked fri-mon and didn’t manage to get everything done. Staff are so friendly and welcoming which makes a massive difference in a first time experience. Although we’ve not tried anywhere else camping, this is definitely somewhere we will be returning to.

Negativ The toilets and shower blocks aren’t great, however, I feel as though it’s not a fault from the cleaner. It’s more of a fault from visitors who are leaving them in awful conditions. Empty bottles left in the showers, toilets stuffed with toilet rolls, leaving water all on the floors, marks all on the walls etc. the cleaner is there a few times a day cleaning (even doing more than her allocated hours) making sure it’s clean and useable for visitors. The maintenance team had been made aware of issues with some toilets but nothing was being done at the time of our visit. I just want to point out how friendly the cleaner is, she even took time to speak to us and told us about different things we could do on site. She seems to go above and beyond and I think she should be recognised and made aware of how great she is.

Positiv The location & friendliness of staff

Negativ Toilet & shower blocks were awful only 1 working and left in a disgusting condition.

We were put in front of a motor home and their door was right by our tent so every time they came in and out of their door they knocked our ropes & tent.
People were still up & shouting at 1am in the morning.

Positiv Legends Sports Bar entertainment was good.
Prices were reasonable.
Staff in the bar were friendly and welcoming.

Negativ Cleanliness - there wasn’t any!! So dirty and outdated.
Toilets and shower blocks were disgustingly filthy with many being out of order only leaving one ladies toilet working but leaking, lack of soap, toilet paper, hand towels and cleaners!!
Outside bins overflowing as well as the Elsan Point for chemical waste disposal. Unusable before leaving.
No lighting from campsite to facilities as uneven, dangerous and smelt terrible.
Shops in the shopping village were very specialised and expensive, not for the average campers pocket or needs, and not for children except for the sweet shop.
Village store although quite roomy was poorly stocked with very rude staff.
Being a holiday park and campsite a camping shop would’ve been useful.
Hard standing pitches would be an advantage for a waterlogged field.

Positiv Sight was ok, well spaced out easy enough to find and get to. Bar offering some entertainment on site and park areas for kids, shops etc on site

Negativ Condition of toilets wasn’t great, locks smashed off doors, no toilet roll in the cubicles that could lock, showers ok but dirty. Appreciate this is not all the fault of the site, selfish guests not treating things with respect play a big part but seemed to be little to no maintenance. Elson point was blocked on departure with just a sign saying maintenance aware.

Positiv So much to do on site! Lovely pitch, clubhouse was a great bonus! Crazy golf and fishing lakes were great fun! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Lady in reception was so friendly and extremely helpful!

Negativ Only 2 toilets were working in our closest block but did not ruin our stay

Positiv Large pitch sizes.
Water points close by.

Golf course is well kept and the adventure golf looks good (although we never played it as we had our dog with us)
Regular events on the showground.
Car boot

Negativ We found this site to be very run down and in need of some TLC.
Toliets - in one of the blocks there was only 1 toilet that was working in the ladies. toilet roll always empty, lock broken on most of the toilets, and not the cleanest.
Showers - not clean
Kids play area - in very poor condition, heras fence panels around part of it.

On our last day the eslan toilet disposals was full to the brim and unusable.

The village we found more shops closed than open, the funfair that is advertised is no longer there.

We found out after we booked that the company had gone into administration and had the site had been brought by a new company. Which is why I presume the site lacks the TLC and requires work to it.

This place has the ability to be a really good site if work is carried out and is maintained as it should be

Positiv This is our second time at your campsite and yes we had a good time but since it’s changed hands it seems to be going under a lot of change which I hope is just the transition period not the start of everything to come, although the toilets and showers were cleaned daily, they were cleaned for what she could see once you stepped in and shut the door the dirt behind the door and dust/durt in air vents was then visible.

Negativ The fairground has gone, pottery painting has been forced to close, the playground is not really fit for use, ropes not where they should be for the climbing side and the train is not in use. The eye photography shop has the sign outside the shop but was never open and no open hours or contact info available either. Most of the locks on the toilet doors didn’t lock.

Positiv Not much.

Negativ Basic facilities are bad & in much need of modernising. Leaking Lois, missing seats, doors with no locks, most soap dispensors empty, cramped showers, old manky duck boards to stand on
Pitching is haphazard at best. Many units pitching within a few feet of each other let alone the legal 6 mtrs. Other than that, an ok site.
