Hotel Review
Hotel Review: Crazy Bear, Buckinghamshire
This completely over-the-top hotel is dripping in bling, and has both an English and a Thai restaurant, an opulent bar, outdoor pool and flamboyant guest rooms. With copious use of leather, gold, velvet, polished wood and marble, its interiors are just on the right side of sumptuous.

OUR REVIEW
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Located in the attractive market town of Beaconsfield, just off the M40 or a 30-minute train ride from London Marylebone.
By car: 45 minutes from Oxford, under an hour from London and under 2 hours from Bristol and Birmingham. Free parking on-site.
By train: London Marylebone to Beaconsfield takes 25 minutes. The hotel is a 5-minute drive (or 20-minute walk) from the station. Book trains to Beaconsfield.
THE LOOK AND FEEL
The Crazy Bear is bling on steroids: its fabulously ornate cocktail bar, restaurant and lounge area on the ground floor is reminiscent of a plush, vulgar nightclub. Mini-chandeliers, patterned leather walls and ceiling panels, green marble flooring, numerous stuffed animals and crushed velvet ceilings all come together to create an unforgettable, over-the-top vibe.
