The Ickworth

This beautiful family hotel, set in a stately home, offers a break with, and from, the children. The hotel prides itself on catering for families with children of all ages - and the services on offer match that claim. A complimentary creche is available, as is babysitting and a kids' games room, meaning that parents are given a much-needed rest and time to enjoy the hotel spa, restaurant, or stunning grounds. Also on offer are a myriad of activities for parents to enjoy with their children, including wildlife-spotting in the grounds, the swimming pool, or nearby attractions such as Colchester Zoo. From the Sunday morning childcare service to the welcome shown to pets, this hotel offers a truly brilliant service for families looking to enjoy a relaxing and fun break.
