Liked: The house and grounds were exceptional and relaxing.The staff were pleasant and attentive ( - at breakfast probably more than I am used to but done very politely and enthusiastically).

Superb

The gardens are stunning

Liked: The setting of Madingley Hall is stunning. Weather permiting there are plenty areas to sit outside and enjoy the gardens and areas to walk. As stated in the information this is a university residence not a hotel and that did set my expectations reallistically. The rooms are basic but everything you need for a reasonable stay. The cafe/bar is an excellent asset with comfortable seating. It provides a small menu for hot food as well as fridge with sandwiches and salads.The breakfast is plentiful in refrectory setting. Staff at reception and cafe/bar very welcoming.
Disliked: The decor does need refreshing and some aspects of room and ensuite in need of attention and would benefit from additional cleaning e.g mould in bathroom. stains on soft furnishings. Shower over bath low pressured. Staff in refrectory were a bit sullen
