Guests say
Lodge 38 in Stowmarket is highly praised for its peaceful setting, spotless interiors, and well-equipped amenities. Guests appreciate the comfort, including cosy sofas and comfy beds, as well as the welcome pack. The garden and access to a field for dog walking are also highlights. While some minor issues with outdoor seating and kitchenware were noted, the overall experience is one of relaxation and enjoyment, with many guests eager to return.
The majority of guests found the lodge to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, one review mentioned the need to wash glasses before use, indicating a slight oversight in cleanliness.
The location is generally appreciated for its tranquillity and suitability for dog walking, with a field accessible from the garden. However, one guest was disappointed by the site's residential feel and frequent traffic, slightly affecting the score.
Guests consistently report a high level of comfort, with special mentions of comfy sofas and beds. The lodge's spacious yet cosy atmosphere contributes to a homely feel.
While the lodge is well-equipped and offers a range of activities, including fishing and golf, some guests noted a lack of outdoor seating and kitchenware, which suggests room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
The welcome pack was mentioned positively in several reviews, indicating a thoughtful touch by the host. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this cannot be factored into the score.

If you can tear yourself from Stonham Barns, no visit to Suffolk is complete without a trip to the stunning Suffolk coast. In 1910 Stuart Ogilvie bought the hamlet and set to transform it into a private fantasy holiday village. Today the village is just how Ogilvie envisaged it, with pretty mock Tudor houses. You can hire boats and take a trip round the picturesque six thousand acre Mere to see the islands and inlets all named by J M Barrie the author of Peter Pan where you will see statues of Wendy and Peter Pan. Every August a regatta is held on the Mere which culminates in a torchlit parade of boats and fireworks. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure, the lodge on Stonham Barns promises a delightful and unforgettable escape.

A perfect location with really comfortable accomodation. The welcome basket was outstanding. It was perfect accomodation for my 93 year old father who has some mobility difficulties and allowed us all to spend time together.
