Beloved Suffolk Holiday Park Stonham Barns Plunges into Administration
Stonham Barns in Trouble
Stonham Barns Holiday Park, a Suffolk staple since 1987, has shocked holidaymakers by entering administration as of February 16. Known for its peaceful setting and unique attractions, the park was taken over by current owners in 2001 but recently hit hard times.
This isn’t your average holiday site. The sprawling resort features a nine-hole golf course, a lively retail village, a museum, and fishing lakes—making it a firm favourite among families and day-trippers.
Administrators Promise Normal Service As Sale Looms
FRP Advisory, appointed to oversee the park’s administration, confirmed the move came after “a period of financial pressure on the business.” Despite the turmoil, they assured visitors that operations will continue as normal while a buyer is sought.
Meanwhile, Parkdean’s chief marketing officer Andy Edge is pushing all-inclusive deals elsewhere, noting: “Families of four can save over £300 by going all-inclusive, making this an extremely cost-effective option for families seeking action-packed breaks in some of the UK’s most scenic and sought-after locations.”
What This Means for Holidaymakers
- Stonham Barns will honour all current and new bookings.
- All facilities will remain open and fully operational during administration.
- The park is officially up for sale, with hope for a buyer to keep this Suffolk favourite alive.
- Holidaymakers seeking budget breaks might consider all-inclusive packages from rivals like Parkdean.
