Guests say
Lodge 38 receives high praise for its spotlessly clean and spacious accommodation, peaceful setting, and excellent amenities for families and dog owners. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and enclosed garden with direct access to a field. The welcome basket is frequently mentioned as a thoughtful touch, though not guaranteed. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few guests noted minor issues with outdoor seating, site atmosphere, and fishing availability. Overall, the property is highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Suffolk.
Cleanliness is consistently highlighted, with multiple guests describing the lodge as spotless, immaculate, and very clean. Only one review mentioned having to rewash glasses, but this was a minor exception.
The location is praised for its peacefulness, proximity to local attractions, and suitability for dog walking. Some guests noted the site felt more residential than holiday-focused, and one mentioned limited fishing access, but overall feedback is very positive.
Guests frequently mention the lodge's comfort, including cosy and spacious interiors, comfy beds, and suitability for guests with mobility needs. One review noted a heavy duvet in summer, but this was a minor point.
Facilities are generally rated highly, with well-equipped kitchens, TVs in bedrooms, and good amenities for families and dogs. A few guests noted missing items like outdoor seating, a patio table, and bathroom bins, but these did not significantly detract from the overall experience.
Many guests appreciated the welcome basket and thoughtful extras such as snacks, milk, and fizz on arrival. It should be noted that these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

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.

Fantastic little find. Immaculately clean, thoughtful snacks, milk and something fizzy for our arrival. Ideal location for searching out the worthwhile in Suffolk. Fully enclosed garden so puppy Chester could roam freely, with direct gated access to the field at the rear for his early morning walk. We couldn’t have asked for more.
