A guide to the city of ’Dreaming Spires’. Visit colleges but don’t just march in. Ghost tours, Inspector Morse and Christchurch. And then the pubs... Eagle and Child, where JRR Tolkien and C.S. Lewis drank. Duration: 5m 9s. [...]
The Crazy Bear’s funky colour, design and style prove that modern doesn’t have to mean boring. Emphasis is on art and design of high quality, from flamboyant spiralling modern wrought ironwork and fantastic Italian baths - some of which drift into the bedrooms - to Philippe Starck furniture.
The main hotel has nine bedrooms while two cottages sleep five and six. Choosing your room is a hard task as they’re all so different - they range from wildly rustic to minimal chic - but all feature hi-tech Bose sound and vision equipment and delicious Molton Brown bath and body products.
In the bustling, beamed bar, champagne is served on tap (no, really) with rock oysters and a hangover-inducing house cocktail list while the two restaurants offer excellent Thai or European fare.
