Our recent stay at this location was good. The breakfast was excellent. Onsite staff were polite and helpful. The room was tidy. The building was beautiful inside and outside. The environment around the hall was beautiful. The drawbacks are : it requires your own vehicle to get access. The air smelled like some bull’s poop by the evening during our stay. I did not know what it could be. I had difficulty for my early checkout. I sent an email to the address as indicated on the information sheet. But I never got an reply.

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.
