The crazy bear was great. We stayed in a cosy room which has a lovely bath and was huge. Proce was very reasonable as we stayed during the week in January. The food is a bit expensive but you don't have to eat there.

We had the tiniest room (Snug) for the price we paid i really expected more. The decor needed upgrading, filthy carpets, wall paper peeling off probably due to the fact the bathroom steaming up as it had no windows. Windows in bedroom not even double glazed. Shower had no door so water went everywhere. Food was also extortionate. Outside decor was lovely, staff really friendly. Paying the price i did, id rather stay at a hilton

Damp and uncomfortable
We arrived and there was no one in the reception area so we were walking around till we could find someone, our room had a horrible smell of damp and big brown water stains on the velvet ceiling I’m assuming from a leak the area by the radiator smelt rotten, the bed was very uncomfortable and a lot of things in the room have seen better days. Otherwise it’s fine, I’m sure the room would have been lovely when it first opened by in need of a deep clean, refurb and the damp smell.

Really enjoyed our stay. Unusual rooms which we really liked. Bed was very comfy. Only criticism, if it is one, is the mood lighting was very affective but could do with brighter light for getting ready. Hope to come back soon

Excellent staff who went out of their way to ensure we were well looked after. Very friendly and professional. Thai food was exceptionally good and very authentic. Other clients tended to be nouveau riche underclass - noisy and uncouth. Farm shop is a must to visit.

We had a lovely night and thanks to the manager who let us stay at Beaconfield as I had booked at Stadhampton and my husband put the wrong postcode. Thanks for accommodating us, while we were on our way to my graduation at Henley. I wish we had more time to enjoy the pool, though. Lovely place and also nice pleasant places across the streets to eat and drink. Definitely recommend Crazy bear hotels.

The property is absolutely a hidden gem!!! My husband and I absolutely loved the decor and everything the property offered. We stayed in a suite that screamed vampire vibes, which we TOTALLY love!!! We also had dinner and breakfast on property. The blackened cod with asparagus was perfect and my husband had the pad Thai, which he also raved about. Breakfast was also exquisite! The staff was super friendly and the manager was so personable. We can’t wait to stay there again.

Quirky, high end, different, needs some changes
Really quirky hotel, very different. I was aware of the Crazy Bear near Beaconsfield, but didn't realise there was one in Stadhampton until I looked for accommodation near Thame. Loved the theme of the hotel, and the 'snug' room came within budget for a business stay. They were suffering from flooding in the main restaurant due to the recent bad weather so only the Thai restaurant was open, but the food was excellent although a little expensive for business expenses! Would suggest lowering room and food prices a little to accommodate business users a little during the working week? The room could do with a little maintenance as some elements were a bit tired. Body wash in shower was empty. Would have liked a kettle for tea making as the coffee machine didn't work properly. Lack of sockets in room for phone charging. No bedside lights, only main room lights. Bed was VERY comfy and room quiet so no complaints there. Liked the branded dressing gowns in the wardrobe! Overall enjoyed my stay though

This was our second stay, the previous one being around 5 years ago. It was a convenient location for a night before our daughter’s graduation in Oxford. The deals on offer also made it one of the best value hotels in the region. The wacky and fun theme of Crazy Bear is fun for a short stay, though some of the carpets are looking tired in places. We chose to eat out but did return for a nightcap in the bar. This was a rather disappointing experience, the prices were high at £11 each for an Irish coffee and a Baileys coffee, both were served in dumpy glasses rather than the usual and were tepid rather than hot. We were almost the only guests present so the atmosphere was not great despite all the attractive surroundings and lighting . When we checked out we weren't even asked if we had a nice stay. I’m sure the Crazy Bear thrives on event nights but in between it is rather too quiet and I can’t help thinking that some changes to draw locals in would help.

A lot of hot air which failed to get off the groud
Having high expectation for our first visit, was rather excited at the prospect of a night at the establishment. Parking was amply and check in was rather pain free, They do take a £150 deposit for incidentals, not an issue. Entering the room from a rather steep and narrow staircase with uneven floor, the initial impression of one the room had been shoe horned into a corner at the top of the building. I appreciate the room was the Snug type (only one available) but it really was a shoebox of a room, no where to sit and relax other than on the bed, extremely cramped when getting changed, but what made it worse was the lack of working air conditioning, extremely humid room and no one to cool down. Reports to reception were greeted with it takes 10 minutes to activate the air con, never heard so much tripe in all my life. Simply a tactic to not take the issue seriously. Having claimed to have visited the room we were reassured all was not operating. Sorry, absolute no difference, it seemed any further interaction with reception would result in similar ineffective results and would put a further damper on our stay. So we simply pretended the room was a Sauna !! The Thai restaurant, service was good but the food was immediately forgotten, extremely overpriced, lacking in taste and quality ingredients Oddlyly enough when checking out the £150 previously taken was not to be utilised to take off the bill, this was paid separately and the £150 to be returned several days
