Stayed for one nights B and B at the Hall. Lovely grounds, staff were friendly, breakfast was buffet continental or cooked and was ok. The room itself was fine too for a one-night stay. You are only a 5 minute drive to the nearest park and ride into the city which I would suggest you take - parking in the city is a nightmare. For the money paid for a weekend B and B stay inc. b/fast, I would recommend it.

A good experience

My husband and I booked into Madingley Hall on Saturday night following a trip from Birmingham, we were using it as a relaxing evening to help break our trip up and as an extension to our weekend, we booked our room after viewing it on Hotels.com. We were looking forward to a nice meal and a comfortable night's sleep before exploring Cambridge the following day. Unfortunately the room was absolutely filthy. I have attached photos of the floor beside the bed, the wall and worst of all the shower.

As if this wasn't bad enough we went to the bar to be told there were only bar snacks, i purchased a large glass of Merlot which tasted like battery acid so I returned it and the barman laughed and didnt me offer me any alternative.

I am a senior manager and i am appalled at the state of the room to which i was offered, admittedly i was given the cost of my room back, however i was not offered the cost of my wine back, we were unable to book anywhere else so had no alternative but to get back in our car and drive home to Maldon Essex in atrocious weather conditions. Finally arriving home at 23.00hrs totally exhausted. 

Absolutely disgusted

The building is quite amazing and has a lot of history, it's in need of some TLC here and there, but that is to be expected. I was at Madingley Hall for a seminar, it made a nice change from the bland hotel meeting rooms generally on offer.  Dinner was a mixed bag, long banquet tables and very noisy (in a good way), it reminded me of school dinners.  The desserts were always exceptional!  The staff were all very nice and helpful, all in all a very nice experience.

A nice experience :0)

If you have a chance to stay here with the Institute for Continuing Education, Cambridge University, do. I mean, it's not the Hilton but that's not why you're here. It's comfortable enough and has so much history, and the educational programs are amazing.

A great place to pick up amazing education on an old English estate

Fairy tale meets modern world. What a lovely place. very quit and a during the day a perfect place for conferences, because there are a lot of meeting rooms. Breakfast was tasty and everything was there. Cosy bar in the basement

Living the old english experience. 

This is listed by visit England as 5 star. It is in fact distinctly average student accommodation in a spectacular building. The shower is dreadful and there were used dirty tissues in the beside table drawer. When I reported this I was given every impression that I was interrupting staff from doing something important and I received no apology. I with for a charity and was attending a current run by a charity. We were given a preferential delegate booking rate. When I checked (too late) I could have saved money on the main booking sites. Shameful money grabbing from conference traffic. No doubt as this is Cambridge university this review won't make the slightest difference. The building (old) and staff attitude (bored and superior) is everything you'd expect. 

Over hyped uni dorm room 

I was booked in here for 1 night whilst travelling for work. The property looks beautiful from the outside and when looking online, however I did not enjoy my stay unfortunately. I arrived and parked easily, went to the Terrace bar as I was a little early to do some work. The guy at reception said he would come and get.me when the room was ready, he didn't come back. I ordered some food and drink (it was okay) but expensive. I went and checked in with no problem. The room was disappointing and reminded me of staying in a university dorm room, I know it is part of Cambridge University but I wasn't expecting that. The room was small, dirty, railing coming off in the bathroom, tiny TV and a kettle which had seemed better days. I slept well though and the bed was comfy. During the evening I went for some food, no thrills burger. I struggled with Wifi and phone signal. I went to bed early so I could get up and leave 🤣 Breakfast was good in the dining room before I left. Nobody really talked to anyone and the atmosphere was what I expected of Cambridge University. I won't be visiting again unfortunately.  Glad it was paid by work as I would have been angry if this was my own money. 

Inside is not like the outside 

The hall was very good as is a lovely historic building and massive gardens with topiary. The reception staff were exceptional. The room 38 was average and clean. The shower was a slow flow and small. The wifi did not work and useless. The breakfast was plentiful. The toasters took ages to cook the bread; needs updating with a roll on roll off device. We were very annoyed with the early morning deliveries at 7.15 am on both days !!!  My wife loved her official merchandise which was a Cambridge Uni hoody.

Nice venue shame about the early morning noisy deliveries and lack of wifi

Excellent stay on Sunday I messed up the bookings got my dates wrong but the hotel receptionist Amanda went above and beyond to sort it out and she did . Second time visiting this lovely hotel In beautiful settings would highly recommend great breakfast to

Cheeky night away

A lovely relaxing evening in beautiful surroundings. A perfect overnight stop for shopping in Cambridge. Reasonably priced, close to park and ride and the three horseshoes gastropub. Would definitely return for another trip when visiting the area.
