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!)

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!

Lovely hotel

Check-in and reception staff were so friendly, helpful and accommodating-we were given a really wonderfully warm welcome. Swimming pool was lovely, really warm and a great size and grounds were beautiful. We ate dinner at the hotel and the food was good, however the observation of the restaurant is that it is dated in terms of its decor and condition. The chairs were uncomfortable to eat on as a slightly odd height for a full dinner. There were also some dirty uncleared tables which restaurant staff seem oblivious to, they were you d staff and not very attentive at dinner e.g given food with no cutlery to eat with! However, in contrast, breakfast staff were really attentive and thorough. All in all, a lovely hotel, full of history and character which is very comfortable. I would certainly stay again

Not what I expected

Hotel is not all that it said it would be. It was not made clear when I booked my room that I wouldn’t be staying in the hotel and in fact staying in the lodge a 5-7minute walk from the main hotel. This was not idea as I couldn’t use the pool facilities as I was looking forward to doing. The room itself was very dated. All in all it was not worst the premium paid to stay there

Booked the wrong dates by mistake and contacted Expedia within 2 minutes to request a refund. Expedia could not get hold of the hotel and when I spoke with then directly to resolve, they would not cancel the booking and charged in full. Then they tried to re-sell the room I booked, the one they would not refund..!! AWFUL SERVICE, SHABBY HOTEL, AVOID....!!!!!

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.
