It's in a nice setting
Madingley Hall is in a very idyllic spot. The gardens are lovely. It's really enjoyable to have a stroll around them. When you head to your room, you'll find it to be tidy and functional, with no clutter. Everywhere is very clean as well, and many of the rooms offer fantastic views.

positive:
A decent location
This property is pretty easy to get to from the A14, M11 and A428. It's also just a short drive from the centre of Cambridge, where there are so many things to see and do, including museums, historic buildings and the river.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Staying in touch is hard
The Wi-Fi access here is hit and miss to say the least. You might
struggle to get online from your room at all. If you can manage it,
then there's a chance that it will drop out at annoyingly regular
intervals.
negative:
Slow to refill
Because the breakfast here is rather tasty, some of the items tend to run out. When they do, it can take some time for them to be replenished, so you might find yourself waiting around for your food of choice.
negative:
Not the comfiest
Some previous guests noted that the mattresses at Madingley Hall can be slightly uncomfortable, stating that they were either a little lumpy or that they could feel the springs through them.
