Heritage Open Days: Round House Holiday Cottage Open Day

Be nosey and have a good look inside one of our five holiday cottages on the Ickworth Estate. Chat to the holiday team, listen to a bit of history of the house and imagine yourself staying in this luxurious cottage tucked away in our woodland.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Nestling in an enchanting woodland glade close to Fairy Lake, is this fable-like rotunda cottage. A mini, more folky version of the nearby Ickworth Rotunda. It was originally used as a shooting lodge and then a gamekeeper's cottage. Inside, it is deceptively spacious and can accommodate up to six people and two dogs. Circular shaped rooms give it a real cosy feel, especially when the log-burner crackles in the living room. Whether walking or cycling, this is a great stop off during your visit. Chat to the holiday team, listen to a bit of history of the house and imagine yourself staying in this luxurious cottage tucked away in our woodland.
