It’s nearly excellent but …….
Our first visit with high expectations. I have to say that from start to end staff were exceptional. The only negative sadly was the food quality, the Thai was highly recommended and was really poor in quality and taste, this was however dealt with with the utmost professionalism by management so not a complaint rather constructive feedback to hopefully make dishes more authentic Thai and of quality befitting the price. I also found the breakfast overpriced and poor quality and so would avoid in all honesty. Rooms certainly are quirky with open plan bedroom/bathroom, certainly not for everyone so be aware, I am unaware if all rooms are built like that do worth an ask before booking if you like st little privacy at times.

Good but could be better
Lovely concept however couple of disappointing factors where that our heating was not working and the room was cold however they gave us a couple of portable heaters! Some of the furnishings where worst for ware, velvet was coming away. We was in room 9 and there was alot of outside noise and about 5am someone smashed glasses outside our room then could hear it being cleaned up then righjt behind our room must have been building work and could hear a drill about 8am and van doors slamming and could also hear the people staying above us walking around and hear the shower running.

Won’t be back I’m afraid
Room was covered in cobwebs, had toe nail clippings on the carpet and someone else’s dirty sock by the bed. The room needed a good clean. Really disappointing for the price and the room was the decadence suite so not a cheap one. Wouldn't stay again, cleanliness is a non negotiable for me.

Poor service, no staff
Supposed to be a bit special and luxery. Very disappointed woth service and a real let down compared to becconsfield. Only thai reseruant open with no prior notice of other closures. Sat around in resteraunt for 15 mins then had to walk round to fins someone to serve us, same detial at breakfast no staff anywhere. This was amplified again at checkout, no one in reception(bus) had to walka round to fins staff, girl eventually came but couldt work till so messed around for another 15 mins, no applogies given. Nice hotel, very poor service

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.

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.
