Lovely place in the countryside for afternoon tea. There is a hotel and a stately home (National Trust) but we went into the restaurant for afternoon tea. Lovely clean elegant surroundings, attentive staff, food good, tea good. When we asked for one of the fruit scones to be replaced by a plain one, they simply brought a couple of plain ones with more jam and cream and said Keep the lot! Been here before with a small well-behaved pug with no problems.

Substandard with poor quality food, old rooms with stained baths and carpets, service isn't up to scratch - our dinner reservation made in advance was 'lost' by the hotel; it was impossible to book into the spa for treatments (we tried 4 times including at the hotel), afternoon tea is appalling. Kids high tea was again poor with soggy veg and crusty pasta - all had been left out (we arrived 20 mins after service started)
Saturday morning breakfast was average with overcooked / boiled chewy bacon, rubbery scrambled eggs - fine but you could get similar in an airport hotel - it was of that standard. Pool lacks anywhere to sit (one chair), shower didn't work and room was freezing. Staff incapable at dealing with complaints. Avoid. There is nothing luxurious about the Ickworth.

Nice staff, nice pool and gardens. However restaurant is let down by very poor cooking. Tries to be upscale but does not even know how to produce confit duck and misses the mark by a country mile. Good for families as staff are very good with kids. Rooms are old fashioned (not a negative), but have not been upgraded since inception. The mattress was certainly more than a decade old with springs coming through...a lot of upkeep needed. A place with so much potential but suffering and in need of significant investment, shame as the structure is there...food and wine is overpriced and there is an issue with flies in the restaurant...

Had a great afternoon and evening with the family. (two kids aged 1 and 4) Enjoyed swimming, the gardens, the trampoline and the kids den. The food was delicious and all the staff were very friendly. Definitely looking forward to returning again soon for another night.

Wonderful hotel in amazing grounds. Dinner was superb and very good value. No actual bar just rooms you can drink in and a very limited range of drinks. Staff are all very good. This is an old building so every room is different. Bathroom was impressive.
