It’s been a difficult year for all, living through a global pandemic, and an especially confusing time for our younger generation. If there’s one proven remedy that’s always worked for my children it’s getting them outside, enjoying the countryside and exploring the great outdoors.
The simple pleasure little ones receive from splashing in muddy puddles, clambering up ancient trees, being in nature and breathing in the crisp clean air - it’s both therapy and family-time at its best.
Set in an unrivalled location, 1,800 acres of beautiful parkland and rolling Suffolk countryside, there’s no better place to spend quality time than this exquisite country house. The Ickworth Hotel, which dates back to the Domesday book (when it was merely one of hundreds of assets belonging to the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds), is not only onehospitality - but it’s also one of just three independently-owned British hotels that are also National Trust properties (the other two being Cliveden House, Berkshire and The Causeway Hotel, County Antrim).
