    A very pleasant place to stay in attractive countryside near to Cambridge.

    The bed had sheets but no blankets. Fortunately, as the weather was reasonably warm, this was not too much of a problem.

    Madingley Hall is an imposing building in a beautiful setting, yet nevertheless manages to offer comfort and tranquility.

    Parts of the cooked breakfast at 8.30 had been lying for much too long. Some items, like scrambled eggs and fried eggs, need to be cooked in small batches or they quickly become inedible.

    Bathroom water was flowing very little so it was hard to take shower. The hotel is so far from city centre and hard to reach public transportation.

    It was fantastic historical place. There are naturel beauty to discover. Breakfast was open buffet and delicious. The hall where we ate breakfast was fantastic.

    Could certainly do with a proper clean and a coat of paint as a little tired. Quite noisy so many people going to and fro. Breakfast disappointing, no coffee available and a request for boiled eggs was met with a flat no, we do not do special requests. Receptionist in the morning not very helpful.

    Stunning building and grounds with the opportunity to have a walk and explore. Comfortable room offering a good night's sleep.

    The rooms are quite old and plain, but we knew that beforehand.

    Brilliant historical building and grounds to explore. Breakfast was in the oldest part of Maddingley Hall and had enough variety for us. The grounds were great to roam around as were the other rooms which made up the Hall. Staff were fabulous and parking included. The local American WW2 cemetery and museum was worth a visit too. The location gave us easy access to Cambridge via the local Park and Ride

    Not much! Old fashioned but new separate taps in bathroom, perhaps? Decor of bar / snack room not best feature

    Fabulous venue, with history, style and simplicity at a very reasonable price. Nice garden, good atmosphere. One feels at ease. Help to get a parking space at Clare College for Sunday evensongs a definite plus.

    Breakfast was ok, but the cooked breakfast had been sitting under the heated lights for a while, and was lukewarm, couldn’t eat it Bedrooms ok, shower was very poor. Hairdryers need ‘defluffing’.

    The location and the building were lovely. The evening meal in the terrace bar was excellent, as was the service. All staff were accommodating, professional and welcoming.

    The food in the bar in the evening was poor and as the doors were open to the outside, it was far to cold to sit there. We would like to have known about that when we phoned in advance to ask about what was available, then we could have made other arrangements. The room was cold and the radiator valve seemed to be broken. Food at breakfast was cold and on cold plates; cutlery ran out and there was no-one to ask for more It isn't a criticism, but I think there should be some warning that the building has a lot of stairs to get to almost all of the rooms. It wasn't a big problem for us, but I can see it might be for others (and carrying soup and wine from the bar was tricky).

    This is a beautiful property with wonderful views. The room was OK for two people, although smaller than the pictures suggested. The choice of food at breakfast was good. Good choice of wine in the bar. Good range of tea/coffee in the bedroom.

    The room wasn't very clean with mould in the bathroom and cobwebs in the bedroom, wi-fi was hopeless. The shower had no pressure and the rail was loose. The room wasn't serviced until we asked. We were also in a very gloomy room with plants right up to the windows making it dark. The room was miles away from the entrance and we had to walk up and down corridors and stairs. The breakfast felt like being at Hogwarts!! lack of cutlery and some of the food was cold. Chairs are stained in the bar and food and drinks are expensive.

    The location, Hall & Gardens was absolutely stunning as was the proximity to the places we wanted to visit. The Terrace bar was nice but expensive

    The shower in the disabled room we had was very dated and had a feeble flow with no temperature regulator. This needs urgent attention but I have raised it with the team who will prioritise its replacement.

    Location is fabulous, an Elizabethan manor. Set in private grounds, peaceful, no traffic noise. Only 10 minutes from Cambridge by car. Very helpful staff, a special mention for Andrew. Great breakfast. Easy car parking. Lovely old building. Lovely garden. In room facilities include tea and coffee, tv, fridge, iron and ironing board.
