A grand country house hotel set within 1,800 acres of National Trust parkland just outside Bury St Edmunds, with a spa, pool and extensive grounds.
About The Ickworth Hotel & Spa
The Ickworth Hotel & Spa occupies part of the National Trust's Ickworth estate at Horringer, a few miles from Bury St Edmunds, built around the estate's distinctive rotunda and set within 1,800 acres of parkland, woodland and formal gardens. Bedrooms are split between the main house and the nearby Lodge, giving a choice between grander period rooms and more contemporary family-friendly space a short walk or drive from the main building.
The hotel leans into its country-house setting with an indoor pool, a spa offering Elemis treatments, and daily estate walks and cycling routes straight from the door, alongside a cinema room and dedicated kids' club that make it a genuine option for a family break rather than just a couples' retreat. Two restaurant spaces cover both a relaxed all-day menu and a more formal dining room, with afternoon tea and Sunday lunch among the regular fixtures.
Its position within the National Trust parkland means guests get access to the wider Ickworth estate, including woodland trails and the walled garden, without needing to leave the grounds, while Bury St Edmunds itself is a short drive away for the Abbey Gardens, Cathedral and town-centre restaurants.
