My husband bought me to Ickworth House Hotel as a surprise for my Birthday for 2 nights. As we drove up the very long drive, we weren't sure what to expect. When the house came into view we were not disappointed. We were warmly welcomed by the receptionist, and were allowed to check in even though we were an hour... More

We recently spent a weekend at this delightful hotel with our two teenage daughters and another family who have younger children. The hotel is exactly as it says - a luxury family hotel. The building itself is very impressive and forms part of the National Trust property. We stayed in the Lodge - a pleasant short walk away from the... More

From the moment you arrive The Ickworth is set to impress. Beautiful parkland surroundings and wonderful buildings. We stayed in the Lodge previously the Dower House. Though this is 800m away from the main house, we saw that as an advantage as we had all the benefits of the luxury surrounding but in an even more secluded setting and a... More

I went to Ickworth hotel for afternoon tea as part of a group on a recent weekend. This had been pre booked. The hotel and grounds are very attractive, and we had a nice walk before we had our tea. We were seated in the conservatory, which was lovely, though very hot - but it was a rare sunny day.... More

We have just returned from our second stay at The Ickworth hotel and again had a fantastic time. It is pricey, but it is worth every penny. Excellent staff, fantastic food and amazing surroundings. We spent three days cycling around the estate, walking and swimming. A perfect family getaway.

We just arrived back from a 2-day stay at this fantastic gem. This place is marketed to parents with kids who don't mind spending a bit more to enjoy a fancy couples-style break and family break in one. I was skeptical,but the wife booked it and rolled the dice. The staff are not stuffy but not overly familiar. The hotel... More

To celebrate my sister's birthday I decided to book afternoon tea for her with my mum, my son and myself. This was a mistake! Firstly I arrived with a buggy and had great difficulty 'bumping' it up the 10 or so entrance steps after being told there was no slope (strange I thought for a family hotel) although I was... More

I remember speaking to your mother I believe immediately before you left the property. Further I did taste all the items that you complained about with the following comments. The Cheese and pickle sandwich is made with a variety of cheddar cheese that does have a crystalisation within it and thus with the crunchiness of the pickle can give the... More

Thank you I am delighted that you enjoyed the Dower House, now renamed The Lodge at Ickworth from the 1st May as a result of our refurbishing all the areas and also as a testament to the original name of the building. We look forward to your return. More

is how my children described their stay at Ickworth earlier on this month. We stayed in the Dower House and had a 2 bedroom apartment for my husband myself and 3 children - all worked very well.

Thank you for kind and constructive comments regarding your stay at The Ickworth. Regrettably on the day you spent in the walled garden which was indeed a beautiful day we were unfortunately let down by three staff not turning up for work which created a significant shortfall on our service. We have moved the tables and allocate specific staff to... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The East Wing at Ickworth was home to the Hervey family before it passed to the National Trust. The surroundings are as grand as ever but the idea that “children should be seen but not heard” has gone right out of the hundred or more windows. Where else can you go that offers luxurious surroundings, outstanding facilities, exquisite cuisine and family friendly activities? Ickworth is unique. It's also one of the finest luxury family hotels in the UK.we have recently added a Cinema room to our facilities and show children's films every day. ... more   less
