National Trust - Ickworth

The peaceful tranquility of the extensive gardens is wonderful. The house is exquisite in its beauty. The cafe's fare is constantly tasty. The staff, (mostly volunteers) are just brilliant. The quality of products in the shop is rarely surpassed.
All in all there is so much to like and very little if nothing to criticise.
We love it and a super local resource.

Lovely place. Good amount of parking space. Our 5 Yr old grandson loved doing the Easter egg trail and getting his egg at the end. Enjoyed our walk around the house and gardens. There's a really interesting area of unusual tree stumps. So much more parkland to see and walk around than we had time for but we have national trust membership so will go again.

A wonderful mix of gardens, parkland, and countryside walks across gently rolling hills and patches of woodland. Great for short strolls or long walks, and the multiuse paths that circle the estate are ideal for feet and wheels alike.
There can be a bit of a queue for coffees and cakes on the busiest days (sunny weekends and bank holidays) so bring a snack and plan your visit to the cafe at a quieter time.

Been here many times.
Lovely house, though upstairs was closed off.
The grounds were colourful and pleasant to wander around.
The cafe had a good choice of drinks and cake.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Will go back later in the year.

Very unusual looking house surrounded by lovely grounds. House and gardens are lovely and worth a visit. The Silver room within the house is impressive. Unfortunately, we couldn't visit the basement on our visit due to a recent previous incident but it was still enjoyable. We did a walk around the estate which I think was approximately 9km (we followed the green route) and that is recommended for anybody who likes to walk.
Free parking for National Trust members. No need to book in advance. The usual toilets, cafe and garden shop on site and they were just about the start bike hire too

Our favourite NT place to visit!
Have been a couple of times before, but not to see the house, we really enjoyed learning of its history from the knowledgeable room guides.
Due to mobility issues for my husband, we didn't think we would be able to see much of the grounds this time. We were thrilled to learn we could borrow a motorized scooter! This is truly an "accessible for all" property.

First visit back here in over a decade (100+ miles away). All looking nice if a little parched due to the hot/dry weather. It's a beautiful building set in nice grounds, especially the Italian-style garden. Plenty of walks of varying distances with lots to explore. Another National Trust treasure that is well worth a visit.

Our most visited national Trust destination, never fails to deliver every visit.
Huge grounds, lovely walks, plenty of animals to spot along the way. A children's play area.
Ample parking.
A nice cafe, not to mention the house itself, which is pretty spectacular.
