School Holidays
From half-term getaways to summer staycations and even family-friendly Christmas breaks, our seasonal family breaks promise activities aplenty.
October Half Term Breaks
October Spook-tacular
Stay, play and explore this October half term. Reconnect by making use of our family facilities such as the indoor pool, games room and cinema, by taking part in daily spook-tacular activities or by enjoying days out exploring Bury St Edmunds or discovering Suffolk's best-loved attractions. And when you're ready for some down-time, make use of our complimentary Ofsted-registered Den sessions.
Festive Family Breaks
Christmas & New Year House Parties
With two house parties plus a festive interlude break to choose from, there's plenty of opportunity to join in the merriment. As well as a jam-packed activity and entertainment schedule - including family quizzes, gingerbread house competitions and Crufts at Christmas - there will be indulgent dinner parties, leisurely breakfasts and plenty of time for R&R with a tempting treatment menu.
February Half Term Breaks
Fun-filled February Half Term
Experience an unforgettable half term in beautiful Suffolk countryside, where adventure and relaxation await. Discover our exciting line-up of family activities plus daily supervised Den sessions, cinema screenings and swimming.
May Half Term Breaks
Magical May Half Term
May is the perfect time to explore the lush 1,800 acre National Trust parkland that surrounds us. With numerous walking and cycling routes, our estate promises the perfect setting for family adventures. At the hotel, our team will be putting on fun-filled family activities such as fruit kebab making, biscuit decorating and hot air balloon crafts.
Summer Holiday Breaks
Stay, Play, Explore
This summer, we'll be pulling out all the stops to make it a summer to remember. Think never-ending family activities, interactive workshops, a pool for those all-important refreshing dips and complimentary childcare so parents can steal an hour or two to relax. Our team will also be on hand to share their insider tips on the best picnic spots, local attractions and day trips. As always, entry to the National Trust house and gardens is included in your stay.
