Restaurants At The Ickworth

Interesting building, fantastic grounds, other than that a bit shabby, rundown, slack service, cleaning and security. Having said all that, the sun shone so I enjoyed it.

Had a great stay. It is a truly family friendly place and the nursery and children's library were a big hit with our little girl. The grounds and building itself are stunning and service was great. Pool was nice and warm with lots of floaties. Dinner was excellent, lunch a bit limited so would advise going out for it. Afternoon tea needs to be booked in advance. They say dogs aren't allowed off lead but there are safe places to let them off nearby. Changing facilities at the pool a bit limited and access involves going outside so using the robes probably the best option. Rooms: 4 Service: 5 Location: 5

Went for a spa treatment and cream tea (part of a package. The place was delightful and we were made very welcome and offered free tea or coffee as part of the package. Facial and back massage were wonderful and so relaxing. We also got a free upgrade to afternoon tea as one of our therapists was not available, so we had to have our treatments separately. But that was no bother. Lovely to sit in the drawing room and contemplate the gardens, or read a book in the library. Can recommend tea in the conservatory. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Will definitely return. Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Great view, Romantic, Quiet, Great value

I had a very comfortable large bedroom overnight, and a good evening meal. The meeting rooms were OK, the better one is the old kitchen, in the basement. The Wi-Fi was easy to connect to with no noticeable delays. There is plenty of car parking, and my attendees appeared to be very pleased with the Ickworth. Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5

Went for Sunday lunch, staff friendly and food delicious, only slight downfall was the wait on mains, watching other tables meals come out before ours who ordered later slightly disappointing, also dessert order not correct but we ate it anyway. The staff though as mentioned were great, apologetic and understanding.
