Liked: Cleanliness
After visiting Wooly Grange and being wowed by the property and service we had high hopes for the Ickworth. Unfortunately the property is not in nearly as good condition (e.g. crumbling window frames in the bedroom, leaking roof in the dining room/conservatory, cumbersome portable AC unit permanently connected up to a slat in the sash window, etc.). The staff, while all pleasant and well meaning, were not as on the ball as the WG staff. The kitchen also was a let down. Dinner was overpriced, meanly portioned, and average in quality. The National Trust property and grounds were excellent however.

Verified traveller

Liked: Cleanliness
*Food & Drink* Drink menu was pretty large with options, food menu was a bit basic with a lot of overlap between lunch and dinner. On the pricey side for what you are ultimately getting but did taste good. People getting high tea in the conservatory looked to have a good time *Room & Bed* Room feels a bit dated and worn down (ex stained ripped carpet). Room was overall clean and had necessities, temperature/heating was good. Bed was quite old with a very soft old spring mattress, probably the area that could benefit the most in terms of an upgrade in the room. *Common Areas & Internet* Free wifi throughout the location with stronger speeds in the lobby/library area compared to the rooms, in case you need to take work calls. As the location is very family friendly, you will need to deal with kids running and screaming through the hallways at most hours of the day. There is a cinema in the lower level for kids to watch and be occupied alongside a kids library. *Overall Service* Nice traditional building with scenery and charm. Service could have been better in terms of speed/availability. Would recommend for parents/young family looking for a getaway, not the best for someone looking to get rest with some peace and quiet.

Luxury in price but not much else
The hotel described its proposition as luxury family hotel, other than the price, little else is luxury. The bath tub is scratched, hot food at breakfast and dinner took time to come, choice of fruits was limited at breakfast and the lift was broken. Although, individual staff members were all very friendly. It felt like they were trying hard to maintain a run down place.
