The room was large and clean and completely comfortable--the hosts thought of everything. The bathtub and shower were both fantastic and we slept well in the bed. The breakfast was fresh and wonderful. Our hosts, Heidi and Tom, were kind and friendly and great to communicate with. They have created a welcome and interesting atmosphere in a terrific location. We look forward to staying again.

Buckingham Inn is a lovingly restored arts and crafts style home. The University Suite is spacious and very well equipped. Innkeepers are great and very accommodating. This is so much better than any hotel in the area if you want to connect with the true Madison WI experience, especially for the price. I highly recommend it!

Must stay!

If you're going to Madison and choose not to stay at the Buckingham Inn, then I don't know what to do for you. It is truly a gem. Tom and Heidi have created a wonderful experience front to back - They make the stay very enjoyable. The breakfasts alone set you up for success during the stay, the bed comfort is second to none, UW's football stadium is a short toss from the front door, and the rooms are unlike anything I've ever stayed. This is better than a chain hotel any day of the week. I will be returning as soon as I can. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

I had such a lovely stay here! It is located in a historical neighborhood with gorgeous architecture, including a home by Frank Lloyd Wright. The B&B itself is adorable and clean with updated & lux amenities. Lovely local wine served free of charge in the late afternoon. Tom and Heidi were very sweet and accommodating and the food was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend a stay here.

The property is beautiful inside and out. Our room was large with an enormous bathroom (LOVED the jacuzzi bathtub). Every detail was just perfect; mini fridge, snacks, items you may have forgotten to pack in a basket, bath gels for the tub, and overall very comfortable. The entryway had wine to enjoy and cable tv in our room. Every morning we had a hot breakfast that was very good. Checking in and out was amazingly easy. Highly recommend.

It was so beautiful, too, with craftsman style furnishings and local flair. The breakfasts were delicious. The hosts were so nice and accommodating.

Excellent location with a personal touch. Our room was extremely comfortable, actually luxurious, particularly the bathroom facilities. Our hosts, Heidi and Tom, were very gracious, accommodating, and provided every detail in an organized fashion.Our breakfasts were quite tasty and of the utmost quality ingredients. The bed was quite luxurious as well, as were all the accommodations in the very spacious room. (We stayed in the University suite; next, time, Varsity!) We would absolutely recommend the Buckingham Inn to anyone seeking a personalized, romantic venue.

Omg! This place was perfect!
