There are only 5 places here, so the choice is limited and the better dates go quickly. They fall into two groups. The smaller ones, sleeping 2 to 4, have a hot tub, a sauna and a log burner, and they cost the least. The two larger ones, for 4 to 6 guests, lack a sauna and cost much more per night. The largest place has 4 bedrooms and sleeps 7, which suits a family weekend or two couples. Nearby towns such as Eye and Stowmarket offer many more lodges at lower starting prices.

Thorndon is a small Suffolk village, and the stays here suit groups and couples who want a private hot tub more than a busy resort. Every place has a hot tub and a garden, and every one accepts dogs, which is unusual for a spot with so few lodges. Guests rate them very highly, at around 9.2 out of 10.
Prices sit well above what most of the surrounding area charges. The usual night is dear, and the choice of budgets is narrow: a couple of smaller places cost far less than the two larger ones, which cost several times more. Most places sleep around 4 or 5 people, and the largest takes 7. Sauna and log burner are common extras, so the main decision is which size and which price band you want.
Hot tubs and gardens come with all 5 places, and dogs are welcome in every one. A log burner and a BBQ are in 4 of them, which makes autumn and winter stays comfortable. A sauna is in 3, and these are also the cheaper places, so a sauna here does not mean a higher bill. High chairs appear in 2 places, both at the dearer end, which is worth knowing if you are travelling with a baby. If a sauna matters to you, check it before booking, as the larger dog friendly places do not list one.

November is the cheapest month shown, and December costs a little more. Prices then climb through January and jump in February. March and April stay at about the February level, so spring is not cheaper than late winter here. Availability is tighter in November, with fewer free nights, while the months from January to April have more free dates. If you want the lowest nightly price, a late autumn break is the best bet. For a weekend in spring, expect to pay noticeably more than in November.
| Month | Usual night | Nights still free |
|---|---|---|
| November 2026 | £457 | 66% |
| December 2026 | £545 | 74% |
| January 2027 | £615 | 77% |
| February 2027 | £823 | 80% |

Several towns close by have more choice and lower starting prices. Eye has the most places, 19 in all, and its cheapest nights are far below Thorndon's. Stowmarket and Woodbridge each have 7 or 8 places, and Bury Saint Edmunds has 8, with the lowest starting price of the group. Diss and Langham are smaller and start a little higher. If Thorndon is full or beyond your budget, these are the obvious places to look next, and most are within easy reach by car.
It is dearer. Starting prices in Eye, Stowmarket, Woodbridge and Bury Saint Edmunds are well below the usual night in Thorndon. The places here are mostly larger and well equipped, which helps explain the gap.
November is the cheapest month shown. Prices rise in December and January, then jump in February. March and April stay at about the February level.
No. All 5 have a hot tub, but only 3 have a sauna. The two without one are the larger dog friendly places, which also cost the most.
Only up to a point. The largest place sleeps 7 and has 4 bedrooms. Most of the others sleep 2 to 6, so larger groups would need to look in nearby towns.
