As we're currently in the process of buying a house, we decided to postpone the honeymoon and go on a minimoon instead. We chose to go to the Crazy Bear in Stadhampton and opted to go for an upgrade and booked a suite (best decision). It's completely different to the Beconsfield venue, it's situated in a quaint village on a farm, the perfect escape from town life!
Once we had unpacked the car we headed in via the carpark/back entrance. We noticed a bright red London transport bus, but admittedly missed the reception sign on it and walked straight passed it, only to realise that it actually is the reception!
Once inside the bus, we were greeted by 2 glasses of Tasarine champagne and guided to our suite, by a friendly receptionist. Our suite was located down the road in one of the cute cottages.
The suite was amazing! I love how quirky the Crazy Bear is and the rooms most definitely lives up to expectations created by others!
My favourite part of our room had to be the wet room, which compromised of a shower and infinity bath! I've never even heard of an infinity bath before, but I now want one in our house, it's pure luxury I didn't want to get out!
As we were staying the night we booked the Thai restaurant located in the main building. The service was inpecable, when we arrived we were greeted by a friendly front of house gentleman, who guided us to our table. The dining area was insane! All padded walls, large eccentric tables and dimley lit. Obviously I had to go for a pornstar martini for pre drinks the best cocktail! The food was to die for, both myself and Nick love Thai food and have been for many a meal and this hands down had to be the best! For starters we had soft shell crab and tempura prawns (the portions are large!) and for mains I chose chicken green Thai curry and Nick had venison, both of which melted in your mouth and were cooked to perfection.
Both of us felt suitably full after dinner so not suprisingly we gave desert a miss and retired back to our room to pass out in a food coma!
It was a struggle getting up the next day as the bed was so comfortable. Needless to say the breakfast was calling us, a quick stroll down the road was well worth the reward at the end! I've never seen so much food before, it ranged from cereals, crossaints, doughnuts and cooked breakfast. Too many decisions to make first thing in the morning! We both opted for the cooked breakfast, which we didn't regret it was the perfect start to the day.
We spent a little time after checkout at the Crazy Bear farm, which is a short walk, 2 minutes to be precise! The shop is worth a visit, it offers a wide range of locally sourced produce along with a lovely atmosphere. I do love a good farm shop!
I loved having a little wander around the farm after, the little piglets are too cute I wanted to take them home with me!
In conclusion, we both enjoyed our stay at The Crazy Bear and will most definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff that made or minimoon a special experience.
