Enjoyable short stay at The Ickworth

We had a very enjoyable short break at The Ickworth. The room was very comfy and breakfast excellent. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. Will definitely go back again sometime when we can.

Delightful in every way

Wonderful hotel, staff, and food. Very friendly service. Great food for dinner and breakfast. Even reasonably priced. Walking the grounds in the morning before day visitors arrive was incredibly scenic and relaxing. Room was very comfortable and well appointed (appreciate Nespresso machine!)

The hotel is located in the wonderful setting of Ickworth Park. Lots of fantastic walks and no traffic to disturb the tranquility of the countryside. We usually stay in the Premier Inn in Bury St Edmunds when visiting our son but, surprisingly, that chain is now outpricing itself against much more superior hotels such as this one. The bedroom retained all its charm of a bygone age including what appeared to be some of the original antique furniture. We had a wonderful view overlooking the gardens. Breakfast was excellent. Plentiful parking. Highly recommended.

Beautiful setting. Really friendly staff.. Good Breakfast.. Plenty of parking space.. Only downside, I could hear my neighbours TV. I don’t know if they were slightly deaf or the walls are thin….

Undergoing refurbishment which it definitely needs but very expensive for the current offering. Very low grade food options for what is deemed to be a luxury hotel. Pool is not really suitable for small children with not changing area. But fabulous location
