About this property
This luxury retreat features many on-site activities within its 1800 acres of National Trust parkland. The Ickworth Hotel is a few miles from Bury St Edmunds and the A14, which leads to Newmarket and Cambridge. On-site activities include cycling, swimming, walks, and tennis. The East Wing of the grand building forms the luxury hotel, and there are apartments and bedrooms located in the Lodge, a 10-minute walk away, or a 3-minute drive from the main hotel. You can dine in the relaxed conservatory or opt for a more formal adults-only dinner in Fredericks Restaurant. Please note that our Lodge Classic, Classic, Attic, Superior and Deluxe room types offer rollaway beds for children staying in them. These are only suitable for children aged up to 12yrs.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.
