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

The room was beautiful and I had a memorable stay. Staff were welcoming and the venue had a nice atmosphere. The only negative was the shower hose was difficult to adjust and could do with a refurbish.

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

First appearances, very quirky, and eclectic decor which was just great. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The Thai based evening dinner selection was just fantastic. My only crisisisms were some of the outdoor spaces were a bit tired and used glasswear etc was not cleared from some of garden seating areas in a timely mannar, making the area unappealing. Having said that, on departure, the manager was more than helpful and seemed genuinly interested in our comments, with a keeness to make a difference and put things right.

My room was tiny, which is fine, but the decor could only be described as fevered dream in a Travelodge. Moreover the only plug point in the room, which was across the room, was obstructed so I could not plug in an Apple charger. It is inexcusable to not have proper plug points in 2024, I had to connect to a plug point outside the room. The service over dinner was excellent, the two young ladies were very responsive to our needs. The checkout procedure was strange to say the least. Apparently a forensic audit of the room is needed in order that your deposit is released. The reception staff is surly, the decor looks like the chic was forgotten in the design brief of shabby chic, the food is average, the only bright spots are a decent wine list and great dinner service. Definitely not worth the price.

Incredible stay
We stayed in room 12 which I had emailed ahead and asked to be allocated which was no trouble, the room although dark was spotlessly clean and the staff were all incredibly friendly. We ate at the Thai which was lovely and had a massage which was also fab, I already can’t wait to return!
