BABY & TODDLER-FRIENDLY HOLIDAYS

Preschool breaks

We know that travelling with little ones can sometimes be more challenging than relaxing. That’s why we’ve designed every last detail to leave everyone feeling happy and recharged – even the parents!

Book a stay

Inclusive daily childcare in our Four Bears Den

Our Ofsted-Registered childcare setting offers children the chance to play while parents switch off and have some much needed R&R. Children can enjoy games, arts and crafts, dressing up, toys and outdoor adventure, all under the watchful eye of our specialist team. 

Daily Sessions:

  • We offer all guests a complimentary 2 hour session per night's stay
  • Sessions begin at 9.30am and 2.30pm
  • These are subject to availability and slots must be pre-booked.

For those young holidaymakers who would rather stay with their parents, we also open the Den up for a Family Stay and Play from 1-2pm.

Highlights for Little Ones

Pack light

We've got it covered

From cots and monitors, to Yotos, buggies and a milk butler service – we've got everything you need for a stress-free holiday.

LFH kit list

Let off some steam

A child's paradise

Paddle in our heated indoor pool, clamber on our outdoor play frame, stroll or cycle around the National Trust grounds or join us for a cookie and a pre-bedtime film.

Onsite facilities

Explore the local area

Venture out

We’ve carefully curated a list of the very best activities for preschoolers. Go animal mad at Jimmy's Wildlife Park and Suffolk's enchanting owl sanctuary, or perhaps try a spot of boating on the scenic Stour.

Take a trip

Dining for all

Family-style or for 2

Our family-dining space features a kid's menu that'll please even the fussiest of eaters, with purée for the tinies and those under 2yrs eat for free when staying with us. After bedtime, try our listening service and have dinner à deux.

Activities for parents

Rest & Recharge

We know that moments to yourself are few and far between when you have small children. So whether you’re taking advantage of the Four Bears Den, using our baby listening service or taking it in turns, we’ve got some real treats in the spa for your adults-only time:

Ickworth's signature treatments:

  • 55-min rejuvenating facial
  • 55-min Full Body massage 
  • 70-min Top to toe treatment
  • 55-min Hot Stone massage. 

If you’re more ‘Sport’ than ‘Pampering’, then why not jump on a bike and explore the Estate, or grab a racket and sweat it out on the tennis courts.

Kick back, relax

TERM TIME BREAKS WITH YOUNGER CHILDREN

Baby & Toddler Breaks

We understand that travelling with young children can be daunting, so we created our Baby's First Stay and Toddler in Tow packages with that in mind.
