Crazy Bear Stadhampton

Lovely spot with plenty of character. If you like something a little different this is your choice. The snug room was…. too cozy. Thai restaurant is very good and highly recommended. The gardens are great, especially for a hot summer drink. Breakfast was average. Overall a 7 and 1/2 out of 10

Fabulous experience at a unique hotel. Also the Thai 12 course plate was delicious and lots of food to get through which were good portions.

my husband and I found the experience to be a mix of charm and disappointment. The llocation and general atmosphere were were ideal for a relaxing escape. However, but the accommodation left something to be desired. Having stayedin crazy bear Beaconsfield some years ago, the style is unique, but just feels a little dated and tired in places now. It could do with a little thought her and there. e.g having nice scents piped into areas near the kitchen where you seem to get a stale food smell or damp feeling nooks and corners to uplift mood. The staff were warm and welcoming in general. However, our dinner experience didn’t quite feel as relaxing. The service felt rushed and the overall atmosphere in the restaurant was slightly... uncomfortable is the only term i would use. The main waiter was in a full suit and very formal and training a younger staff member, who although polite, it seemed the dynamic between staff created a noticeable tension. The chefs who brought our food were super friendly and lovely. Although breakfast was not included in our stay, we decided to try it anyway. Unfortunately, the restaurant still had a lingering smell of stale food from the previous evening. We felt the service during breakfast was minimal and noticed the waitress having an open "moan" to another member of staff as we entered.There was no offer of toast or additional drinks, and when I asked for fruit and yoghurt, I was given a single pot and told some fruit would follow. The offering felt sparse and lacking in thought a little. Some really small improvements could really elevate the guest experience.

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Crazy Bear in Stadhampton and it was an experience we won’t forget anytime soon. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was both luxurious and totally unique—bold, glamorous, and full of character. Our room was spectacular, with rich, decadent decor and incredible attention to detail. The bed was super comfortable, and the whole room had a romantic, indulgent feel that made it perfect for a special getaway. Every corner of the hotel feels like it was designed to impress—and it absolutely does. We dined at the Thai restaurant on-site and were blown away by the food. The flavours were authentic and beautifully presented, and the service was warm and professional. Breakfast the next morning was just as impressive, with plenty of delicious options. The staff were faultless throughout—friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile. The quirky, over-the-top luxury of the place won us over completely. It’s not just a hotel stay—it’s an experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want a truly memorable escape, The Crazy Bear Stadhampton is the perfect choice. We’re already planning our next visit!

This was mine and my partners 1st time at crazy bear and it did not disappoint! We had afternoon tea before we checked in and our first taste of the amazing food offered here, the cakes were the most exquisite taste and texture I’ve ever had. We then checked in to the unique and quirky styled room which was lovely, staff were accommodating throughout our stay and really made our experience even better. Evening food was to die for I had a nettle risotto and my partners 1st hard the blade of beef, some of the best beef she has ever had, we moved through to the bar which was lively and served amazing cocktails. Would recommend to anyone who likes the style we will be back next year!

Worst experience!! avoid at all costs. Room are not what they look like on pictures they mislead you with pictures make you think your getting the high end luxury room then when get there they fob you off with a tiny box room for the price of a high end double site and say they are fully book even though you pay for a big room and travel over 2hour. They agreed to a full refund to my face when they seen what i booked to what i got. then lied on email to avoid paying. The owner have no integrity or care for their paying guests unless you're not sat in pub with them. They lie and cheat you out of your money iv been trying to sort this out since December AVOID AVOID unless you don't like quality or getting what you paid for
