I read the mixed reviews on here like everybody else and was a bit apprehensive about our stay but I cannot say a single negative thing about it. From the moment we checked in we were made to feel very welcome by the two receptionists on the check-in bus. The process was quick and painless and we were each given a glass of champagne. We were showed straight to our room (suite 13) which was elegant, eccentric, luxurious quirky all at the same time. The hotel left a note wishing us both a happy anniversary which was a nice touch. The bed/pillows were very comfy, the big slipper bath was a lovely way to relax, there was ambient classical music playing in the room when we walked in, the bathroom was very nice and everything was to a high standard. Very clean and everything shiny. We went downstairs to explore a bit, the grounds are very nice. We went to the bar and had a drink - excellent pint of Guinness and good selection of cigars. We booked the Thai restaurant for 8pm and although the restaurant was visibly very busy, nothing took too long and the food was fantastic. We were both very pleased with our meals and the service. After the meal we went upstairs to the courtyard area to drink and play cards. The only small criticism I have is that not many of the patio heaters were working. There are bloody loads of them dotted about but each one had its own problem which prevented many of them from working. Not a big deal but maybe they could be looked at. Had a brilliant sleep and woke up feeling refreshed. Went down to breakfast which was decent. Good service once again and plenty of items on the menu at a very reasonable price. If the cooked breakfast isn't your thing then continental is included and also nice. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the Crazy Bear Stadhampton. Friendly and helpful staff in all departments, luxurious room, excellent pint of Guinness and selection of cigars, fantastic food at the Thai and breakfast and the slipper bath was great - big fan of the slipped bath. Would definitely recommend this hotel, quite eager now to try the Beaconsfield one!
