We had a wonderful 7-night stay at the Ickworth Hotel overall, enjoying spacious accommodations and relaxing pool and spa facilities.

Our stay in the lodge was quite pleasant overall. The spacious room with lovely views across the grounds made for a relaxing atmosphere, though we did encounter some issues with noisy breakfast service. The upscale dining experience was enjoyable, albeit pricey. While we had a lovely evening at the restaurant, the experience was marred slightly by a chaotic breakfast. Overall, a nice spot for a romantic getaway, but be prepared for some noise from families during peak times.

I had high hopes for this spa day but was quite let down overall. The treatments themselves were fantastic, and the therapists knew their stuff, but the environment was buzzing with children and chaos. There were delays in service during afternoon tea, and the atmosphere wasn't suited for a relaxing experience, which was disappointing. This place seems to cater more to families with kids than those looking for a tranquil spa retreat.
