A Night of 5* Luxury: Enjoy an Overnight Stay with Champagne, 2 Choices of Fine Dining & Breakfast at The Crazy Bear Beaconsfield - Check In to Something New.

Pleasant but not outstanding Myself and my husband stayed for one night and had dinner in the Thai restaurant. The food was nice, not excellent. All staff were polite and well spoken. I was a bit disappointed that the decor wasn't as good as the photos or compared to the other hotel. The room was nice but the tap in the bathroom ( room 9 ) was just dribbling out and the sink was too far forward to catch the water properly when washing your hands. You couldn't use it to fill anything quickly and I feel this was so you would purchase the bottled water. I was looking forward to using the bath but the water came out so slowly and was boiling hot so I gave up on it. Not sure I would book again for the same price.

Not Worth the Money – Misleading Rooms and Underwhelming Facilities We recently stayed at the Crazy Bear Hotel and had a fairly mixed experience. The staff overall were very nice and welcoming during our stay. However, when we shared some feedback at checkout, the response felt quite defensive, which was a little disappointing. One of the main issues was the “Snug” room. The photos online are quite misleading and make the room appear much larger than it actually is. In reality, the space felt very cramped and somewhat claustrophobic. I’m not a tall man, but I still managed to hit my head multiple times getting out of bed due to the low ceiling and tight layout. While the bed itself was comfortable enough, the room simply didn’t feel worth the price we paid. The pool is another feature that looks very appealing online, but unfortunately didn’t live up to expectations. The pictures suggest a vibrant, open space with seating and a lively atmosphere, but in reality it felt quite the opposite. The water was freezing cold and the area lacked the ambience the photos imply, so I wouldn’t recommend choosing the hotel for this feature alone. On the positive side, the Thai restaurant was very good, the cocktails were excellent, and the massage was also a highlight of the stay. Overall, the hotel has the feel of a quirky boutique property that became popular and then tried to maximise space by squeezing rooms in wherever possible. We were told there are around 35 rooms spread across multiple buildings, and we weren’t even staying in the main hotel but across the street. In summary, there are some enjoyable elements here, but for the price point we expected a lot more — particularly when it comes to the rooms and facilities matching what’s advertised online.

Total disappointment I have wanted to stay at a Crazy Bear for a long time now, but have never got round to it, but finally found the right time to stop by on the way to the Cotswolds. The reviews are not amazing, average below 4, but surely this can’t be right. Nope. It was wrong. No way would I say that it warrants that high a mark. The room we stayed in was damp, it smelt damp from the moment we got in and let them know. They didn’t do anything about that. The WiFi and TV didn’t work. Had to call someone into the room. Met with the comment “it is a known issue in this room”. Then fix it!!! The shower was not hot. It was like warm. It was pointless having a cold tap. You would never use it at all. We called someone out. And were told the boiler would be rebooted. And had to wait. By 11.15pm the water was still not hot. The following day, the same. Tile on the bathroom floor was cracked and loose. It will cut someone’s foot. They were not bothered when o told them. Thai food. Pretty bland. Had to send a dish back as there was no flavour. Breakfast in the morning. Meh. Poached egg looked hard boiled. Attitude of the management. Poor. However , after complaining they have given me a staggering £35 refund. There is a reason it is rated as the 5th best hotel in the village out of 5. Save your money people. Head someone else where the hotel is better and the staff want to be there.

Nice experience but loud dripping noise disturbing sleep Would of got a higher rating if we managed to get some sleep, frustratingly as much as we loved the room and had a great experience, we struggled sleeping due to a loud dripping noise coming from the ceiling into the bath. It was very frustrating and we barely got any sleep. Myself I was in and out of sleep all night due to not being able to sleep during the sound. We tried placing towels in the bath to muffle the sound but actually made it worse. I feel slightly more frustrated due to the fact I actually paid extra to stay in the top room (descendent) and felt like I couldn’t even enjoy it. We also had to travel a few hours there and back and made the drive unpleasant on the way back home due to lack of sleep. However we had food at the Thai restaurant which was lovely I like the quirky vibe however I would not pay the price I paid to stay there again.

Great experience My only moan was the lighting (or lack of) in the room. I understand and enjoy the atmosphere of the lighting but it would be good if it was adjustable. The staff were great and the food top class so would definitely return and recommend
