Crazy Bear Stadhampton

My partner chose this hotel. The staff were very efficient, particularly the barman in the original building. He made me several non alcoholic cocktails which were fabulous. You need to inform Google Maps of how to get to the car park. The room was bonkers. The lights were either on or off and in the middle of the night that wasn't ideal. 5 chandeliers in one room all lit at once. The bed was on a platform on a platform which was tiled. We didn't use the copper bath. The bathroom had a very slippery floor after the shower had been used. We had to lay a trail of towels to get in to use the loo safely. The shower gel had not been filled. Dinner was very nice but the menu did seem expensive. Good job I wasn't paying the bill. Breakfast was expensive too. Having written all of that we did have a giggle at the decor. It really is quite mad!

We stayed 1 night for my husbands birthday. As long as you are not expecting a premier inn type hotel it’s totally fabulous. It’s not practical accommodation (no door or walls to the loo), but rich, quirky fabulousness. You wouldn’t want to stay a week but for an indulgent break it’s fun. It’s not like most people have velvet padded walls at home, and a bath that fills from the ceiling. Negative wise is the Thai restaurant is very nice, but very expensive £8.50 for a bowl of egg fried rice. And don’t get me started on the wine prices! The service was also quite slow. Staff are very friendly and the garden area is lovely Would I stay again? - probably not, but Im very glad we came and experienced The Crazy Bear

One of our wedding gifts was an overnight stay at The Crazy Bear Stadhampton and we would highly recommend. It’s a very unique hotel so great if you fancy something different. The staff were highly personable and professional at the same time. The cocktails were fabulous and the bedroom was so comfortable and fancy with the copper bath at the end of the bed! We will definitely be going back. Kez and Kieran
