Guest Reviews

• keith (10/5): -
• Harry (9/5): -
• Richard (10/5): - The Room Stadhampton
• Keith (8/5): - I stay there for work and every time I ask for a invoice and they promise they will send it and it never arrives
• Marc (5/5): Didn’t live up to expectation, staff attitude/customer service poor, would struggle to recommend to anyone :-( - Great location and the grounds were very nice as were some parts of the hotel itself. Very expensive for what it is, the room was very ‘tired’ needs a make over, the fixtures and fittings just very old etc. Two major issues for me: 1. The staff - not attentive, very lax in their attitude, and the service was generally poor. Example was our dinner in the Thai restaurant, we waited almost 45 mins for our cocktails at the end and even then the order was wrong. Trying to get the attention of the staff was virtually impossible. When you’re paying almost £400 for one night accommodation, I would expect more ! 2. The fire alarm went off continuously on and off for about 15 minutes on the Sunday morning, starting at 07:30, ruined any chance of a lay in. I had to ring reception to find out what was happening, no apology, just told me they were aware there was a problem. When checking out, mentioned this again to the reception staff, who said he would pass my msg onto management. I’ve heard nothing back?!?
• Dennis (9/5): -
• James (6/5): Was ok but not what I expected… maybe I’ll try their other place - Parts were good… The room isn’t on the main site… you walk down the road away from the crazy bear, around the corner, down the lane, into a small residual cluster of houses (over some gravel - great for dragged a suitcase). You have a room in a big standard dull building. Feels like a HMO to be honest…
• ANDY (9/5): -
• Jake (10/5): -
• Maresa (7/5): Done the job for a hen party stay - Qwerky. Staff were lovely and very attentive. The bathroom smelt strange 🤢
• Hannah (7/5): from the outside the hotel looks great and modern. the rooms however are very dark and dated - the rooms were very different, it was certainly a talking point. was nice to have robes in the room also the bed were very uncomfortable. the room was dark like a dungeon. the window in the room didn't close and we were woken up first thing as we could hear people in the court yard. the blind was broken for the window so the light came in at the crack of dawn. there was an extension lead in there and loads of wires about but not enough plugs close to the bed. the dinner the night before was awful, ended up paying £50 for 2 people to have a 'finger buffet' and all we got was 1 chicken wing each and a couple of spring rolls and samosa
• Jess (10/5): Beautiful Hotel in beautiful location. - Quirky and spotless. Staff were great and attentive. Food is incredible.
• Emilie (6/5): It was nice but underwhelming. - It was very quirky We paid a high amount for a two night stay and was in a room which wasn’t very big and was lacking facilities that you would expect in a hotel room.
• Andrew (8/5): - Quirkiness Price of rooms should include breakfast
• Claire (8/5): Very nice but some updates needed with more staff beeede - Nice location for my niece wedding along the road. Very nice and comfortable, clean and tidy all Very quirky. The food at the wedding was different compared to what was ordered and may need a little update in the rooms. But very nice and quirky as expected. Staff friendly and helpful. The food came out very slow for the wedding food as some people had eaten food when a table had not even got their food.
• Ricci (4/5): Wouldn’t say again but would call for food - Food drink and staff were great The rooms were over priced and no breakfast including so it’s never been a 5 star hotel
• Natasha (9/5): Beautiful unique place - Beautiful hotel. Amazing rooms. The Thai restaurant was beautiful and amazing service. The bed in the room was very hard but I know some would prefer that. The reception was amazing and the lady (sorry forgot her name) petite blonde lady is an absolute credit to the business. The hard bed.
• Andrew (8/5): - Most of it Nothing really
• Karen (10/5): -
• Julia (10/5): Great fun weekend, with fantastic staff and delicious food - This one of a kind property is a real oasis on a hot sunny day. Beautifully themed gardens, albeit a little quirky, but charming.
• Michelle (7/5): Mini break - The hotel itself was nice and comfy and very different to anything I have stayed in before. Thai restaurant was lovely, food tasted really good The bathroom in the snug room, there was no ventilation so after showering the room smelt damp
• Guy (6/5): Enjoyed our stay apart from the add Ons and prices . - Liked the outside space it was amazing. We didn’t like the price of the drinks. My main meal shin of beef didn’t include potatoes!They cost an extra £6 +12.5% which I felt was over the top. Breakfast wasn’t included in the price which I didn’t feel was fair.A sausage bap at 11.20 and cup of tea at 6.20was a joke .I ordered a glass of wine from the menu which was £7 only to be told they don’t sell that any more and was sold an equivalent glass of Chardonnay £17!!!!!Rip off.
• Kim (9/5): -
• Louis (10/5): -
• Abigail (7/5): -
• Ryan (7/5): Generally ok. Overpriced. Mouldy bathroom. - Lovely staff. Food was good. We could hear everything from the next room. The doors in the house where we stayed were internal house doors so not sound proof or sturdy. The decor was obviously a focal point and pretty interesting but there are satin cushioned panels in the ceiling of the bathroom which were filled with of stains and mould as was the area immediately above the toilet.
• stuart (7/5): Fun day good location helpful staff - We’ve just stayed at the crazy bear. This is a wacky place very unusual but great fun. If you want to stay somewhere different this is the place to be. There was a few teething problems but the staff were extremely helpful and resolved any issues we had
• Stewart (9/5): -
• jenson (8/5): -
• Keryn (8/5): Fun and unique - lovely vibe in the bar and grounds - The staff were all lovely, chatty, polite but also left you to relax and weren’t over powering. The room was cool although our velux blind didn’t work so we were up early due to the light flooding the room. Would have hoped for the room to be bigger as it was the most expensive type The price of the food was higher than I expected, the food was nice but over priced, and breakfast wasn’t included which I thought was odd.
• Mitch (1/5): Waste of time and money - Decor was nice It was remote, the toilet was in the same space as the bedroom with no door so no capacity to evacuate bowels without partner hearing or smelling it, uncomfortable bed. Left after 2 hours
• John (10/5): -
• Marina (10/5): enjoyed my stay would stay again - it was very quirky that outdoor area gardens was lovely enjoyed my stay. The food was delightful. my room was very small but I had a comfortable night stay
• Sharon (9/5): Fun, relaxing and friendly - The hotel was lovely and i could not fault the staff. The party that was going on got a little rowdy late into the night , which spoilt the relaxation, however the staff went out of their way to offer a resolution offered us a little later checkout and breakfast for which we were extremely grateful The room was a cozy room, however the lack of power ports and hanging space for 2 was a little disappointing.
• Sarah (8/5): Good food and drinks - Very comfortable bed, great bar good atmosphere Thai restaurant very nice Rooms felt very dark not great putting make-up on
• Whitney (1/5): -
• Kaylee Ann (1/5): -
• Paul (10/5): -
• E309LMpaulg (10/5): One night stay - Had a lovely one night stay at The Crazy Bear in Stadhampton.The 12 course taster menu in the Thai restaurant was delicious and plentiful.Sophie on reception was an absolute star.So was the lady behind the bar , just a shame the man who worked behind the bar was very dismissive and rude. Maybe he should take note off the other bar staff and reception team.But overall a great experience, thanks.
• Natalie (10/5): Fantastic, fascinating and fabulous - The quirky vibe was achieved brilliantly, we will be revisiting every year for our anniversary. Everything was exceptional and a magical weekend was thoroughly enjoyed Wish it was a longer stay, and there was nothing
• Jan (10/5): Excellent room in a quiet, boujee setting. - It was quirky There was only a Thai restaurant available at night on the Sunday. No food in room service.
• Natasha (10/5): Memorable !! We will be back x - Unique room , friendly staff& the best Thai we’ve ever had…. Nothing
• Emily (10/5): -
• McKenzie (10/5): One of the best getaway hotels you’ll stay at - I liked absolutely everything Nothing
• annc552 (6/5): Disapionting - I booked the Crazy Bear as a birthday treat for my partner £297.00. The location was lovely, the room I booked was "cozy", this was a masive let downthe room itsalf for the price of a one night stay was very shabby. The bed was so small my partners knees where out the bed. I'm only 5ft 5" and my feet hang out the bed the bed has a snake skin print frame around the edge making it a size of a normal bed but that is at the bottom of the materess. The coffee machine dripped out so slow we gave up. the wall papper was coming off in places. the black furniture was scratched, there was no plug for the sink. The bath was the best bit. The bar was a rip off I ordered a barcardy and coke and a pint of larger came to £27.00.... when I questoned the price I was told we only serve doubles!!! The Thai resturant food was lovely. Not sure I agree with a £12 service charge... we both didnt sleep the room was to hot as the window didnt open the was no air in the room... The breakfast was £67 for 2 people.. I could have gone abroad for the less money for one week allinclussive... For the same price I spent on one night in the crazy bear.
• A2400IWlouises (10/5): Surpassed all expectations - The food was amazing in The Oak . The décor in the restaurant while still great ,in comparison to the bar area was not what i had expected . The outside area was amazing . Would most definitely go back again
• Sharon (10/5): A really cool place with a friendly atmosphere, fantastic place to stay. - So quirky and different from anywhere I have stayed before. The shower needs an enclosure, as the bathroom gets soaked when using it. The kettle you can’t plug in where it’s situated as the lead doesn’t reach the plug socket, we had to stand it on the floor at a different plug socket, which we felt was dangerous.
• Abdullai (3/5): It wasn't the decadent boutique experience that I expected .. -
• jodie (8/5): -
• Charlotte (9/5): -
• brian (6/5): -
• C685FRjudym (10/5): Fabulous stay - Stayed at the Crazy Bear on a watcher deal and had a wonderful time . I have wanted to visit for many years and was not disappointed. We upgraded our room to room 12 and it was spacious and comfortable . Decor is definitely boujie! grounds are beautiful it was just a shame we did not get a chance to explore more . We had the dining deal included and had a starter and a main with a glass of champagne and the deal covered the whole cost . The food for Dinner and breakfast was lovely 🥰 A special mention to the receptionist who booked us in the afternoon and the ever wonderful Sophie who was working in the evening . I would definitely stay again
• M6774HSjadef (10/5): Unique - We went for a family lunch, place is gorgeous, food was delicious and staff were friendly and professional, couldn't ask for more
• nathan (7/5): Birthday night away - Communal areas were very smart Accomodation felt tired
• Natasha (10/5): - The food was exquisite The atmosphere had an nice ambience The location was beautiful, venue kept well, clean, comfortable
• kevincY5933DL (10/5): couples weekend - We stayed there on Sunday 15th of march. Really quirky rooms stunning grounds and outside space .The set evening meal was really tasty and plentiful. The bar well stocked. Breakfast the next morning was a plentiful continental selection ,however if you wanted a cooked breakfast this was available at extra cost. The staff were polite and well informed.
• Wendy (9/5): Crazy & we loved it. - So quirky & so much fun. Lovely area, lovely farm shop 5 mins walk away. Hotel was far nicer than what we had pictured. All staff were very friendly & helpful. Looking forward to going back to try the Thai restaurant. Signposting to the Oak restaurant could be better. Shower was a wet room, this was a bit of a pain as the whole bathroom was then wet.
• Jwat365 (10/5): Wow, wow, wow! - We held my Mums 70th birthday at The Crazy Bear yesterday, and it was absolutely amazing. We liased with Guy from start to finish about the day, who was prompt and helpful with all of our requests and plans. He also put us in touch with an ABBA act who we hired for the party...also incredible! The Crazy Bear staff on the day were fantastic; they were very friendly, professional, and quietly checked in with us a few times throughout to party to make sure everything was going well. The food was delicious, all beautifully presented on platters which everyone enjoyed. It'll be a party that will be talked about for a long time! We absolutely loved it. Thank you so much Guy, we will be back!
• dionnem708 (10/5): Perfectly luxurious - Such a luxurious hotel and facilities. Bought as a birthday gift and the whole experience was nothing short of perfect.
• Linnet (7/5): A fun place to stay - The quirkiness A little overpriced
• Compass40463028892 (8/5): Quirky venue, excellent food, a small suggestion for improvement - Quirky venue, perfect for my birthday weekend. For the full price of the rooms I felt room service for food (ie breakfast in bed) should be an option. This would have ended our celebrations perfectly, instead we attended the restaurant at 10:32 and were told breakfast had ended despite it being served until 11:00! We were in room 10 and Unfortunately the guests in the room above were less considerate about the noise they made in terms of running up and down, moving/dragging furniture and loud banging/knocking which impacted our sleep. The Thai food was incredible and the staff very helpful.
• Ian (7/5): -
• jamessB5449MB (10/5): Great Place - Just had an amazing time the room (319) Boujee was amazing comfy bed, one of the deepest baths that I've ever seen. The food and the service was top notch. I can't recommend enough the rhubarb martinis they were on another level. My wife and I had decided that we will be coming back again. just a great experience.
• Rod (5/5): Was okay but wouldn’t go again and especially not for the price that we had to pay. - Okay location, was quiet other than noise from banging doors entering, and loads of footsteps from upstairs. Very very over priced for what it is. Jacuzzi bath at the end of the bed that we were told wasn’t a jacuzzi bath…it was it just didn’t work and wasn’t replaced, toilet door removed and not put back on. Water stains around the ceiling area. Definitely needs some work doing do it to bring it back to life again.
• SUZANNE (8/5): Fantastic birthday surprise for my husband but lacking in a few basics - Amazing hotel, the decor of the room, restaurant and gardens were stunning. Loved the big red bus reception! Would have been rated excellent but did feel that at nearly £400 for room only that there should have been a usb point in the room and that there should have been more than one tea bag each, was somewhat shocked that we would have had to pay for extra tea!!
• Claire (10/5): Excellent, will for sure be returning - Beautiful, quirky, staff all very lovely The shower cubicle in the en-suite let the room down a little, was just awkward and I had to open the shower door half way through my shower because the lights went out and it was pith black dark
• laura (10/5): Amazing - Absolutely beautiful. We loved our stay this really did make my partners birthday Thankyou so much. Staff are so so so nice too Loved it all
• 652mackenzieb (10/5): Fantastic lunch - Went to the crazy bear on Saturday for a family lunch and had the most wonderful experience! Our server Kyle was absolutely fantastic! Very attentive and friendly made us feel very welcome and valued! The food was excellent and presented beautifully we can’t wait to go back.
• jillhJ298MZ (4/5): Poor customer experience in restaurant - Poor experience eating in the Thai restaurant. Table we were sat on was uncomfortably close to the ones either side of us -despite an empty restaurant. All the food arrived at once so was cold by the time we got to some of the dishes. It's a nice looking, quirky place but let down by the management not thinking about customer experience!
• Sweeney (9/5): A fun experience. I would recommend. - The b d abs bedding were extremely comfortable and felt luxurious. The place had a great vibe. The gardens were lovely and the decor as unusual as I expected The bathroom was cold and the shower temperature volatile so it was a bit frustrating, the room wasn’t sound proof so had a bit of noise from the corridor
• markk215 (10/5): Fabulous valentines stay - Really enjoyed our valentines stay. Room wonderful, staff excellent and food fantastic. Cocktails were a particular highlight
• 297carab (4/5): Celebration let down - Very dissapointed as it was my 60th. Had to amend booking from 2 to 4 on the day. No other menus were avaliable when I was told there was a choice at time of booking. Two of our meals had to be sent back as the beef was to undercooked and the fish was raw in the middle. To add to it we were all cold so we went to there pub part to warm up. It was a beautiful setting but shame about the experience
• Andrea272014 (2/5): Valentines meal - 3 course set menu with 3 choices of each course. Everything we wanted had an extra charge ( far too much ) the quality of the food was not up to standard or quantity. We paid extra for scallops starter, we got 4 tiny scallops for our EXTRA £10.00 per person charge for this. We both had chicken, the sauce was as thin as water and not enough food on the plate. My husband had cheese and crackers for dessert which had an extra charge of £7.00, there was also a singer but after every 4/5 songs she would take a 20 minute break. The cost of this was £69.99 per person but ended up costing us over £120.00 per person. We only had 1 bottle of white wine and water. Felt totally let down and disappointed with the entire evening!
• Erika (10/5): -
• IAN (8/5): -
• Katherine (10/5): - We loved that it was discreet and out of the way. Love the attention to detail.
• Russell (4/5): -
• Johnfrenc (10/5): Crazy bear - Fantastic night at the Crazy Bear Stadhampton . As a first point of contact João couldn’t have been more helpful in booking us in and he was also the one to show us to our room. Bar staff were very friendly and the waiter and waitress were excellent . Breakfast was very enjoyable too and high quality . I would recommend a trip here to anyone especially for when the weather gets better.
• Jet02234238998 (10/5): A wonderful overnight stay - A fabulous stay at the Crazy Bear Stadhampton.A great welcome from reception and beautiful quirky surroundings.Our room was delightful with the copper bath full of bubbles! Loved it.The Service at the bar and restaurant were both welcoming, fun and professional together with the most amazing Thai food, absolutely delicious!Special mention to Joal!.. the cocktails were fab, especially his Baileys Expresso Martini. An amazing night away in the midst of February. We will definitely return and recommend to others too. Thank you ☺️
• andyf320 (2/5): Not helpful - Got given a gift voucher from work in Dec 2024 to be used by Dec 2025, I had to go away with work for 8 months and didn’t get back until Oct 25. Four of us went to the restaurant early December and were told it’s fine to use the voucher, after we ordered and our food came out the said they couldn’t accept the voucher in December but if I emailed they could renew the voucher. The food was great, as always so was looking forward to going again. I emailed the vouchers team as asked and didn’t get a response (still haven’t) and nobody seems to ever pick up the phone. I finally got through to their other establishment in Beaconsfield and they told me to email them directly as they understood my case. I emailed as requested and got a response saying as I didn’t use it in the time frame there was no way they could help me out, I explained again how I was out of country from Jan-Oct and wasn’t allowed use it in Dec due their policy but was told still threes nothing to be done. Really upsetting as it a restaurant my friends and I love to visit but fear we won’t be anymore.
• Helen (8/5): - The quirkenerss Bit tired
• Tom (9/5): -
• vicky (7/5): -
• Lord James (4/5): Not up to expectations and certainly not worth the money paid. - The room was lovely and it was clean The service could have been much better . The communication could have been better like telling people that the venue does not take cash . And that the rooms are a walk up a gravel road . For the money paid ( which was quite a lot) it was very disappointing.
• Chloé (1/5): Filthy - The grounds were lovely! The room was FILTH. Dirty carpets. Broken mirror. Bed was on a slant. They watered down our sambuca. Google why sambuca goes cloudy.
• Royston (10/5): -
• Dean (5/5): -
• Victoria (8/5): Very friendly, clean, easy, good quality - Amazing breakfast Maybe a little clearer about procedures and pricing around food
• Robert (10/5): - The vast majority of our stay was amazing. The open access areas were far beyond our expectations. The staff were very helpful & the Thai Restaurant was fantastic. Obviously, if I was able to stay for cheaper that would be a big plus but seriously, the only genuine suggestion is to offer better lighting for when it is helpful. The windows were small & were mainly obscured by blinds and the remaining lighting created a subdued effect.
• Lauren (8/5): Very chilled weekend - It was very quirky and unusual
• Laura (10/5): -
• charlotte (10/5): - The while experience was beyond what we were expecting! The food, the room, the hospitality, we will definitely be visiting again!! Best hotel we have stayed in for a long time Nothing
• Coventry (10/5): -
• pubdog33 (6/5): NOT WORTH THE MONEY - Stayed here because we had tickets for the New Year's Eve party. When we arrived we were told that our room was not in the main building ( we had a room with the bath at the bottom of the bed) and that it was a few minutes walk away???? So we had to drag our cases down a lane, past private cottages then over gravel and into a driveway of a normal looking suburban house, our room was in side here. £485 for this, room only ---- no breakfast!! The attention to detail is just not there, no plugs for hairdryers on dressing table, no mini bar, bath had holes in it, there had been a leak in the ceiling water works as the velvet was stained, the door to the bathroom was missing and another had not been put on, the light in the wardrobe was hanging off and prevented the door from closing, the iron steam did not work properly but my ABSOLUTE bug bear was the broken toilet seat. Within 5 minutes of arrival my husband was on his hands and knees trying to fix it. JUST UNACCEPTABLE. We walked to the bar to meet our friends and walked in to a man holding a screwdriver whom we asked if he could fix our toilet seat which he gladly did. How does this happen, that housekeeping did not report this. If the loo had been cleaned properly they would have noticed this. This room should really be taken out of service and bought up to standard. We were severely disappointed. However the party, the food, staff and entertainment were first rate. But stay else where if I were you.
• Freedom58248699116 (10/5): The Reece’s Review™ - ⭐ The Reece’s Review: Crazy Bear Stadhampton ⭐ Stay: Couples’ weekend, 2 nights If you’re looking for somewhere that feels indulgent, characterful, and just a little bit outrageous—in the best possible way—this is it. From the moment we arrived, the Crazy Bear delivered exactly what it promises: a wonderfully quirky, country-style escape with bags of personality. Every corner feels intentional, dramatic, and unapologetically bold, yet it still manages to feel cosy and romantic—perfect for a couples’ weekend away. 🍽️ Food & Drink Simply put: outstanding. Every meal felt like an occasion, with beautifully presented dishes and flavours that genuinely impressed. This wasn’t “nice hotel food”—this was destination-dining level. Whether it was dinner or breakfast, the quality and consistency were spot on. 🕯️ Atmosphere The atmosphere is where the Crazy Bear really shines. It’s intimate, moody, and charming, blending rustic countryside vibes with luxurious eccentricity. It feels exclusive without being stuffy and relaxed without ever being boring. Ideal for switching off and reconnecting. 👏 Service The staff were fantastic across the board, warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A special mention has to go to Sophie, who went above and beyond to make our stay feel personal and memorable. Service like that is what turns a great stay into a return visit. 💭 Overall This is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. Unique, indulgent, and full of character, the Crazy Bear Stadhampton is perfect for couples who want something a little different—without compromising on quality. Would we visit again? Absolutely. And we’ll be recommending it to everyone we know. 🐻 The Reece’s Review Categories (Score out of 10) 1. First Impressions – Arrival, check-in, and that all-important first wow factor 2.

• Lisa (6/5): Party fantastic, room not so - Staff at the Nye party the food and entertainment Attention to detail in bedroom. For the price not good enough. Broken loo seat, broken light in wardrobe, iron didn't work properly, not enough plug sockets, no door on bathroom
• Charlotte (10/5): -
• louiserC9809EX (10/5): So much character. Will be returning - Hotel was a wow factor. All the finishing little touches were just lovely especially at Christmas ! Staff were so friendly and helpful. We couldn’t fault them. The food was Amazing !! Couldn’t fault a thing. Only niggles and they are minor .. no bin in room except the small pedal bin in bathroom. No option to make a light brighter to do make up ( it’s a girls problem I know but it was awkward). Next time I’ll bring a mirror to prop up in window for natural light. Can’t wait to come back in the summer
