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

“Epic Ickworth....”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

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. Made use of the bicycles and cycled to and from the main house, which in the dark after dinner the children thought was... More

“The hotel with the friendliest staff”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

We surprised my Mum and Dad with an overnight hotel stay at The Ickworth Hotel and we were not disappointed. The welcome was immediate and set the tone for the entire visit. The staff could not have been more helpful and that includes the porter, the waiting staff and the staff on reception. As this was a gift we were... More

“Close to being perfect”

Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

Close, but not there. Spent a wonderful weekend with the family (this is very much a hotel for families by the way, couples looking for a quiet escape beware!) at this beautiful house in Suffolk. Being part of a national trust building and being able to visit the collection made it special. However, a few things does let the place... More

“Little Gem for my sister and I.”

Recently my sister and I had to be near Newmarket and we chose the Ickworth of the web, what a surprise, I was aware that this was a very child friendly hotel and indeed it was,however the Ickworth seemed to get the right mix for all guests. I particularly enjoyed sitting in the walled garden on one of our first... More

Thank you for your kind comments over your stay at The Ickworth with your sister, I am particularly interested that although you were visiting Newmarket you found us so convenient for there. You are right we are a very child ( and dog) friendly hotel but that our staff were able to ensure that you could have a peaceful stay,... More

“Excellent place for families with young children”

Reviewed 26 April 2013

I would just like to say what a wonderful stay we had at this hotel. The staff were friendly, helpful and at all times incredibly aware of how to deal with small children. My partner and I stayed at the hotel for a weekend and my son Jack had a wonderful time. The creche is superb. It gave me and... More

Thank you for your very kind comments and I am particularly pleased that Jack enjoyed his time with us in the Four Bears Den, but that you also had time for yourselves as well. We very much look forward to welcoming you back to The Ickworth. More

“Lack of food hygiene routines?”

Reviewed 17 April 2013

I agree with other reviews, it's not a luxury hotel, more a 3-star family friendly hotel. What's more, I got seriously food poisoned after having eaten the "Slow cooked local chicken breast and wild mushroom risotto", I thank God I didn't give any of my chicken to our little daughter, I don't dare thinking of how sick she could have...

I thank you for commenting on your recent stay at The Ickworth I was at all times cogniscent that we showed the correct actions in trying to establish what had happened to you. On the evening in question nine other people had the same food as you and there was no other recorded issue with the food you had all... More

“Family weekend away”

Reviewed 13 April 2013

We spent a weekend at Ickworth house in February 2013 with our 3 young children. We stayed in the Dower House apartments which were lovely, although I think if we went in winter again we would stay in the main hotel as it was too cold for the children to walk between the apartments and hotel and so we ended...

Thank you for your response,I am delighted that you enjoyed the Dower House Apartments. The issue of signing for items received is one in which we believed that a guest would prefer to feel free of this task and just give their room or name or of course we would already know this. This is a training issue to ensure... More

“A great family stay in spectacular surroundings”

Reviewed 11 April 2013

We have just returned from a fabulous few days staying at the Ickworth Hotel on the stunning National Trust grounds in Suffolk. This was a new formula for us and one that we'd be happy to repeat soon. We packed a lot into a few days (walks, bike rides, swimming) but it still felt remarkably relaxing. Bicycles are available as... More

“Fredericks restaurant - great food badly let down by service”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

My husband and I ate in Fredericks restaurant for our wedding anniversary.Whilst the food itself was lovely, the service & overall ambience was lacking. We were the first to arrive in the restaurant which was silent - we asked for some music though by the third repetition of the rather irritating CD we conceded the silence may have been preferable....

Thank you for your review of Frederick's Restaurant, In answer to your main point regarding knowledge of the food we have since your visit installed a new menu in Frederick's and in line with that carried out tastings with the waiting staff to ensure that they understand the make up and ingredients of each dish. With regard to payment this... More
