A boutique hotel has been slammed with a low food hygiene rating after already scoring poorly in its previous inspection.

The Crazy Bear Hotel in Stadhampton has been downgraded to a one-out-of-five rating following an inspection on February 20.

This comes after the hotel and bar in Bear Lane received a two-out-of-five rating last year.

The rating on the Food Standards Agency's website states 'major improvement is necessary'.

The renovated pub was the first of the Crazy Bear Hotels which are known for having luxurious interior design.

The reception is inside a converted London Routemaster bus and the hotel is surrounded by its own 80 acres of farmland.

The Food Standards Agency is in charge of inspecting and rating hospitality venues on a zero to five scale, zero is the lowest score and five is the highest.

The inspectors judged the restaurant with regard to hygienic food handling, cleanliness and the condition of facilities and management of food safety.
