RecommendedGrade I family-run country house hotel

Hintlesham Hall

Ipswich, Suffolk

A Tudor-to-Georgian country house that has quietly become one of Suffolk's most family-generous stays — kids eat free, stay free in the holidays and find board games waiting in the room. Slow breakfasts, garden explores and Jimmy's Farm or the coast for a day trip.

    Zoo · ideal day trip

    One of the best-regarded zoos in the country, with elephants, a walk-through lemur forest and a large African savannah area. Plenty of play areas break up the day, and it is a natural stop on an Essex coast or Suffolk weekend.
