Pass by the exit for the services, and almost immediately after the entry slip from said services, indicate and take the next slip road, and drive through the car wash area. We feared the worst, but actually it was ok. We had a room at the back, and didn't hear any traffic. We asked for extra towels at reception (receptionist was very very helpful). Room looked pretty clean, sheets had holes, but were clean. Plenty of parking, although it's a busy road and a short slip road to rejoin the road. Very handy for Cambridge

This branch of the Travelodge chain is located just off the Eastbound carriage way of the A14, so…read moreit is only accessible if travelling in that direction. If you are coming from the Cambridge city centre, you can do a u-turn by coming off at Cambridge services and crossing the A14 there. Also, please note that the hotel itself is not visible from the road until it's too late to turn off, so watch out for the hand car wash or Little Chef instead. The hotel is situated just behind those two. There is ample car parking in front of the building. The Travelodge chain itself operates like the budget airlines, the earlier you book the cheaper it's likely to be, so book extraearly for nights when there's an event in town. It offers great value but basic accommodation. Extras such as an early check in or late check out have to be paid for separately and breakfast is not included in the price (there is a Little Chef just across the car park). The ensuite rooms are all clean and tidy, but offer no luxuries such as a minibar - you can ask for an iron and hairdryer at reception for which they do not charge extra. Unfortunately the mattresses in the beds are very soft, which is not good if you suffer from a bad back. Due to the traffic noise I would ask for a room to the back.

It's a lovely child-friendly hotel with lots of extra amenities - the National Trust Property…read moreadjoining, a swimming pool (a quick dash from the main door), enormous grounds (including a 7mile walk/cycle), a dining room for families in the Conservatory and a smarter option in-house : the Frederick. There's a cinema room downstairs which shows films (DVDs - familiar ones) at 6pm and 8pm. Children's games-room down the hall (air hockey table, ping-pong, Wii and Playstation, and a football table), a crèche (babies & toddlers) and a den (child care and activities for older kids). Hire bikes, big or small, and Beds are lovely and (a little too) soft, pillows are all synthetic so a bit hot at night in winter, but you feel cosy and the decor includes some beautifully chosen pieces from the fifties and sixties - the desk lamp in our room was all-Thunderbirds-Are-Go!! Loved it. A few annoying things - staff are all a bit spaced out, harassed or very young (experience is important). It's difficult to get their full attention. It's an old house, so it's a bit of a warren of halls and staircases. That can go either way, depending on you. It does affect storage options so don't expect modernity - practical? Yes. Sleek and easy to open & close? No. The pool needs more changing rooms, and at least one more shower (it ONLY HAS one). But it's a good size and a good depth (1.4m) - you can swim some decent lengths. Complimentary towels come to you all warm & toasty. The glass windows make it a lovely indoor/outdoor space. Bean bags at the poolside - a winner. If you've for the cash then this is an ideal getaway for tired mums & dads. Romantic dinners a deux, kids kept busy, family-fun things to do (rain or shine), you could make some great memories here!

We spent a wonderful weekend at Ickworth in Suffolk. The hotel is located within a former private…read moreresidence of eccentric aristocrats, in a very large park which is now managed by the National Trust. The hotel is part of a small hotel group who has spotted a nice niche with affordable luxury hotels targeting families with young children. Compared to many small, charming boutique hotels where children are not necessarily very welcome, at Ickworth everything has been thought for children and for the parents at the same time. The staff was super nice, very flexible (late check-out, help with activities, organising dinner in the lounge rather than the restaurant etc.). We made the most of the park (Italian gardens visit, jogging in the forest, ride on bikes with the children, poney) and of the hotel (restaurants, swimming pool, kids activities, lounge for parents). We also visited the market at nearby Bury St Edmunds which was great. We will be back and will probably try to get friends with us to share such a great experience. Only downside to note was the entrance of this wonderful castle filled by prams... (they need to hide them!), wifi isn't free (com'on!) and the service for the Sunday lunch was veeery slow as the place is so popular with locals on Sunday.
