Excellent location and mainly helpful staff and really wonderful gardens. Ideal for a weekend stay or for a family event. Good value for money. No lifts for more elderly folk which should be made clear when booking.

The house and grounds are stunning. The rooms are basic, but this does not matter to me, as long as the bed is comfortable, which it was. The breakfast was good. The evening meals were limited in choice, but fine for me. Great to be able to sit out on the terrace and look onto the manicured lawns and topiary. My only gripe was that people were moving around in the early hours and this was very audible, but that’s not the fault of the property, except for perhaps making the doors less slammable. The hall is pretty close to Madingley park and ride for getting into central Cambridge. I called in at the American cemetery nearby, which was moving. The pub just down the road was very attractive. I really enjoyed my stay.

This is part of Cambridge University so it’s not a hotel but it is fabulous!! Amazing building with WOW factor ! Room was compact but everything you need is available- boiling hot day but the room remains cool and comfortable Food at bar decent price superb meal of steak pie chips and gravy complimented with an ice cold beer was £19 👍 Great night sleep followed by a lovely breakfast couldn’t wish for more and will definitely be back when next in area

The building was beautiful. The rooms were dated and in need of updating, the floor in our shower room was peeling up. There was a TV in the room but it was tiny and to the right of the bed which gave me a stiff neck if I wanted to watch. The 'Bistro' was basic and only sold very basic food. The breakfast was plentiful but served canteen style and from heated dishes, not cooked to order. I would suggest this needs some work to be classified as a 4 star hotel.

Beautiful Madingley Hall and Gardens.

Madingley Hall really is beautiful and the grounds are incredible. It is the most wonderful place to explore and we spent a lot longer than we thought we would wandering the grounds and the house. The history of the house and gardens is of course fascinating and there is an abundance of information available on both. The staff are extremely friendly and work hard to make your stay a memorable one. They are also very knowledgeable about the history of Madingley and happy to answer questions. Breakfast was great although I'd prefer non filter coffee but that's not really an issue. The food was plentiful, good quality and hot! We'll definitely be back. We have more exploring to do and would love to see the gardens through the seasons.

Bien situé, tranquille. Impossible de joindre l'hôte via le courriel hotels.com mais on aurait pu aller cogner à la porte à côté si notre question avait été urgente. Donc à part la communication, tout a été parfait.

The hotel is located inside an absolutely gorgeous building that is also used as the continuing education classrooms of Cambridge. The main hall is also used as an event venue that is frequented by other colleges of Cambridge. There are multiple gardens outside of establishment that are very large and made a morning or evening stroll quite lovely. The bedroom area in comparison is much more modest, as the rooms and hallways of this area was very much Bauhaus inspired - simple, clean, and comfortable.

I liked the property much. Lovely, interesting buildings; full of character. Very helpful staff and tasty breakfasts. Only problem was the bath which I found a bit slippery. I think it needs some kind of treatment to make it non slip. Otherwise very good visit.
