We had such a lovely stay at The Ickworth Hotel. The place itself is beautiful — the grounds are stunning, and the whole property has such a peaceful, relaxing feel. Everything was really well kept, and it honestly felt like a little escape from everyday life. The staff were all friendly and helpful, but I especially want to mention Millie at reception. She was so kind and welcoming — really went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Her positive energy and smile made such a difference to our stay. Everytime I had an interaction with her it felt like I’ve known for ages and she’s just one of my close friends. It is really important to cherish people like her because for a guest they’re the faces of the Hotel and their behaviour can make or break guests experience. Would definitely recommend The Ickworth Hotel to anyone looking for a quiet and memorable getaway. Can’t wait to come back!

Some parts of hotel very tired in desperate need of repair or replace. I believe a refurbishment is imminent, not before time. Staff are good but not sure at the moment that it represents value for money. All felt slightly disjointed, some areas neglected.

Great Hotel in a beautiful area of Suffolk. My kids both took bikes and loved cycling all around the grounds. The restaurant is super expensive for average food and I did not enjoy having a service charge added to my bill. I will be staying at the hotel again though. It’s a great family weekend break.

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.
