Relaxing weekend

The hall and garden are fantastic, room was good, bathroom could do with updating, at 2pm left hanger on bedroom door to have room made up with fresh towels as placed used ones in bath as directed (as 3 day stay) only to have got new biscuits and coffee, no clean towels or bed made. On the whole would stay here again as the staff are fantastic, friendly, helpful and food was brilliant 👌

Madingley Hall is a quiet, relaxing location with beautiful grounds and parking on site. The staff were pleasant and helpful. My room was located on the ground floor facing the courtyard, so I had a lovely view, but on the negative side a path went right by the window so there was not much privacy. The room was clean and had everything you would need including a fridge, kettle, iron, ironing board, fan and a safe. The free WIFI wouldn’t work on the first night, despite assistance from the gentleman on reception, but thankfully worked for the rest of my stay. The TV signal wasn’t very good so a lot of the channels I normally watch at home had no signal, which was a little disappointing, but not the end of the world. The Bathroom was small and had not been designed particularly well as the heated towel rail had been put low down, so when your towels hung on it, they were right next to the toilet brush, which was not particularly hygienic. There was nowhere to hang a towel when you were in the shower, other than the back of the Bathroom door, so that wasn’t well thought out either. A couple of the areas of the Bathroom also needed attention, including both taps having a loose piece at the end of the spout, which resulted in water spraying out to the side, a broken light pull and the shower head could not be tilted. Breakfast was provided, but on the second day the plates were cold and most of the food was also on the cooler side. Despite a few issues, I would stay again.

Amazing historic building and location

Some of the rooms are a little tired and in need of some love and attention but it's worth putting up with that for all the positives about the property. And it's a good competitive price especially for Cambridge. We return and will contribute to return to this lovely historic building. And the people who complain about the condition of the rooms just 'need to get a life' :)

As a B&B this is a good option. Lovely grounds and a great breakfast. It was not as quiet as I was expecting and there isn't much to do so less suitable for those travelling alone

Away for work

This was a 1-night stay for work. The free car park is about a 5 minute walk. Rooms cannot be accessed before 4pm, but I was able to go into the cafe/bar and sit and do some work. Room was lovely if basic but still comfortable. The TV was small and not really viewable from the bed. The ensuite was a shower over a bath. WiFi was okay. The cafe/bar did lunch and evening meals but small menu/choice, and not expensive. The included breakfast in the morning (served from 7am) was good and had a great choice of hot and cold.

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
