Can’t say enough about the Buckingham Inn! Heidi and Tom are wonderful hosts with amazing attention to detail! This house has been a rental property for many, many years of college students ( I lived on the first floor in 75/76) 😊. Heidi and Tom have renovated the home into a three unit B&B. It is beautiful! The Breakfast was divine! I would highly recommend staying here! Located near Camp Randall, it is a peaceful place far enough away from the hustle of the city, but close enough to walk to restaurants, and even to the Capitol. Make this a place to stay!

This is the best place to stay in Madison! Close to everything, especially the university. All of the amenities in our suite were high quality and so comfortable and well-thought out. Breakfast was fantastic. Our hosts were so gracious and kind and made us feel welcome. Check in was simple and Heidi checked with us ahead of time to see if we had dietary restrictions. The bathtub and shower were fantastic and it was beautifully clean. We will plan to stay again.

Had a wonderful stay at The Buckingham Inn! The room was very spacious and clean. Our breakfasts each morning were delicious! The cranberry French toast was maybe the best I’ve ever had! The Inn is located very close to UW Madison campus and easy access to great restaurants and shops. Very friendly hosts and great service overall. Would highly recommend staying here for a cozy and relaxing B&B experience!

I was very impressed with this bed and breakfast. The rooms were quite large, especially the bathrooms. I expected older student housing but the inside has been refurbished very well and is the nicest house for blocks. The entry system is nice and easy to use. The hosts are extremely nice people that have thought of everything. They prepare your stay just as they would want it for themselves. There is a book provided outlining everything you want to know about the TV, places to eat, ice, check in/out, breakfast, in detail that answers every question you could have. They offer complimentary wine and snacks and have a few chocolates. There are very cozy robes. I think there are SIX pillows that are excellent (as is the bed). There is a common area to use. A nice TV with every major steaming service, wow! And the showers are excellent. Every category you would question about a hotel stay they get an A+. Quite impressive. The breakfast is thoughtful and super tasting. They are eager to accommodate specific dietary needs and are in touch with you before the arrival so everything goes smoothly. There are three rooms and they have parking for you. I have spoken with others that stayed there and they love The Buckingham Inn as well. Do yourself a favor and stay here, you will be glad you did.

So many great things to say about the Buckingham Inn! The rooms are spacious, beautiful, and well maintained with an amazing breakfast cooked fresh each morning. The owners Heidi and Tom were so kind and helpful with sharing places to visit and what to do in the city. Located right next to the Camp Randall Stadium - listened to Morgan Wallen practice and do his sound check right from the stadium while we sat on the balcony! Will be back again and highly recommend to anyone in the area!
