Holiday Inn Ipswich - Orwell

Beautiful Constable Country is located on the Suffolk and Essex border. This enchanting part of England was the birthplace of renowned artist John Constable and has become very popular with visitors. There's much to do in the market town of Woodbridge, from visits to historical landmarks, such as the Tide Mill and the river walk, to watersports on the Deben and an afternoon at the theatre.

If you have the kids with you, visit Colchester Zoo to spot giraffes, penguins, rhinos and Komodo dragons. Half an hour's drive from the hotel, you can watch elephants being fed, walk through a tunnel below the pool where sea lions perform, or get up close to free-flying butterflies. There are cafés where you can take a break, and a soft play area if the children still have some energy to burn.

Just four miles from the hotel, you can enjoy a meal or a walk around the marina and the docks on Ipswich Waterfront. This redeveloped area is home to international restaurants, cafés and shops. In good weather, you can take to the water for a boat trip, or even learn to sail. If the weather isn't good, fear not - there's a multiplex Cineworld cinema only five minutes' walk away.
