Any luxury hotel can gold-plate its bathroom fixtures, but The Crazy Bear Hotel, Beaconsfield does it in style. The hotel oozes opulence with a blend of grandeur with style and decadence - this is English eccentricity meets s-excess.

We are particularly fond of Room 8 with its gold bath, impressive gold bed and plush black and gold checkerboard patterned walls - you may find it hard not to stroke the walls.

If gold isn't your style this hotel's sister property in Stadhampton has a silver suite.
