Great hotel

The staff were all very friendly, welcoming and attentive. Dinner & breakfast were excellent with clear gluten free options.
Gillian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing hotel - we had such a fabulous and relaxing stay, although brief - thank you so much to all the great professional and friendly staff
Simon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good but could have been better

Great location for historical hotel but the room was quite basic for what was supposed to be deluxe, although spacious enough and our first night was spoilt by the window having a thin plastic sheet placed along the lower quarter (to allow a portable air conditioning unit to vent), which meant the wind could penetrate and the sound of rain was amplified.

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!)

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….

Jason, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
