For indulgent living and superb leisure facilities in a beautiful location The Ickworth Hotel above is a dream come true. Designed by an 18th century Italian who never visted the site, Ickworth was the dream of the much travelled Earl Bishop of Bristol. Today, the East Wing offers a warm and welcoming place for families to enjoy, and is surrounded by 1800 acres of glorious English Parkland.

Ickworth is a successful blend of contemporary style with the traditions of a great country house to benefit all the family.
The lavish décor does not hark back to days long gone, but has been given a contemporary feel to the ground floor and some bedrooms which maintain respect for traditions of this great house. For more information see Ickworth Hotel and Apartments,

For a Romantic, Luxury Break, tucked away down a leafy driveway nestling beside Oulton Broad, Ivy Country House Hotel is a mixture of sympathetic conversion of farm buildings and new buildings in the vernacular. Attention to detail is evident at every turn from replicating different styles of brick work to ensuring guests' individual needs are cheerfully met.

In the summer you can enjoy a Pimms in the summer house overlooking the lily pond. Take a stroll around the four acres of country gardens or through the grounds to Oulton Broad for the broadside footpath.
In the winter you can shelter by the open fire and enjoy long and leisurely meals in our award winning restaurant - The Crooked Barn, which, since opening in 1996, has become renowned for its excellent standard of cuisine and its amazing setting in an eighteenth century thatched barn - heavily beamed yet bright and sunny.

Sutherland House Hotel, Southwold one of Suffolk’s most historically important buildings, has recently been restored to the highest standard and now provides a Luxury Hotel and Fine Dining for its guests in comfortable, contemporary surroundings. The restaurant has been awarded two rosettes by the AA, and the food is locally sourced, and only seasonal ingredients are used.

Also on the coast is the atmospheric The Crown and Castle, Orford owned and run by Ruth Watson (the Hotel Inspector) and her husband David. The Crown and Castle itself dates back to the C16th but the interior is contemporary and the 18 light, stylish bedrooms all have modern en-suite bathrooms. Although extremely quietly positioned, it is not a country house hotel in the hackneyed, ruched-curtain, prohibitively expensive sense. Neither is it efficient but soulless, in the way modern, city-centre hotels can be.
The story goes that the original inn was built into the walls of Orford castle, of which only the handsome Norman keep now remains standing. Sitting on our terrace (where you can have a drink on a hot summer’s day), it makes a wonderful sight, particularly when back-lit by the setting sun.
Ruth and David Watson have set out to create a new concept in hospitality, offering a genial atmosphere, good food and well-designed, simple bedrooms at modest cost. For more information on this Luxury Hotel see The Crown and Castle, Orford
