Two people were convicted of criminal damage at the Crazy Bear Hotel in Stadhampton after an incident in December.

David Clelland and Sylvia Eastwood were convicted of criminal damage at the Crazy Bear Hotel in Stadhampton after an incident on December 10. Together they damaged a chair, ceiling fan, several wine glasses and chandeliers at the luxury hotel.

At Oxford Magistrates' Court sitting at High Wycombe, both were handed identical sentences. Clelland, of Hartlands Caravan Park, Cranford, London, and Eastwood, of Sefton Road, Epsom, Surrey, were each ordered to pay £1,110 in compensation, an £80 fine, £85 costs and a £32 surcharge.

Since the incident, administrators were appointed to the Crazy Bear Hotel, which has now collapsed with all jobs lost and all bookings cancelled. The hotel featured 18 rooms, a 16th century pub, a secret garden, woodland and a restaurant. Administrators said customers' deposits for events held in a ring-fenced account would be returned for events that have not taken place.
