Muthu Belstead Brook Hotel  

Set in extensive gardens on the edge of Ipswich, just off the A12/A14 and about two miles from Ipswich town centre. A short drive puts you at Ipswich Waterfront, Chantry Park, Bourne Park and the Suffolk coast — ideal for exploring town and country.

Originally a 16th-century hunting lodge, the hotel blends period charm with 88 traditionally styled bedrooms. The Manor House keeps many original fittings and houses the restaurant. Rooms come with en suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee facilities, irons and trouser presses. Family-friendly vibes and garden views make it a relaxed countryside base.

Complimentary leisure facilities include a large indoor pool set in a tropical-style space, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and a fully equipped gym. Spa treatments, massages and body therapies are available by prior arrangement. Free on-site parking, a picnic area and a cosy lobby fireplace round out the stay.

Conference space and multiple meeting rooms (four rooms available) make this a convenient events spot. Complimentary Wi‑Fi in public areas and on-site parking support business needs.

The award-winning Manor Restaurant serves dishes made from fresh, seasonal (local Suffolk) produce, with full English breakfast options each morning. Two bars and a patio offer bar snacks and relaxed drinks, and room service is available. Dinner Bed & Breakfast rates include a Chef’s Choice three-course menu.
