The Ickworth is arguably the sparkling gem in the von Essen Hotels' family set. Once home to the Hervey family the East Wing at Ickworth is surrounded by 1800 acres of glorious English National Trust Parkland. 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.
