About Keeper's Cottage
Escape city life in this Victorian cottage set on the Ickworth estate and surrounded by farmland.Keeper’s Cottage is a secluded semi-detatched Victorian farmhouse located on the 1800-acre Ickworth estate. The building started life as a dairy and boasts an open fire in the sitting room as well as a separate snug.
Take advantage of the cottage’s large garden and enjoy an alfresco lunch while the children enjoy running around in a safe play environment. Later, explore further into the sweeping Ickworth estate, there are plenty of places to enjoy a game of hide and seek as well as miles of hiking, running and cycling trails..
Further afield, we have a number of other properties located on the beautiful Suffolk coast, including Sutton Hoo, Orford Ness and Dunwich Heath. All just an hour away from the cottage, see if you can fit them all in during your stay.
