Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton spent many a happy hour in this beautiful part of the Somerset countryside. But what makes this hotel truly unique is its wildlife park with the fascinating Lemur Wood and a fine collection of big cats. Come the evening, there’s another wild time to be had with live entertainment in the Late Lounge.
You’ll find more at Cricket St. Thomas than the modest ‘14 cattle’ listed in the Domesday Book. For close to the Grade II listed parklands, lakes and majestic trees is the Cricket St. Thomas Wildlife Park with 500 rare and endangered animals, all included in the price.
In the hotel’s gardens, mature cedars, maples and yews have been lovingly preserved, while new lawns and a variety of shrub and woodland plantings have added still more to the already beautiful Somerset surroundings.
Cricket St. Thomas Hotel
Less than an hour from Exeter, Cricket St. Thomas Hotel, combining the main house and adjoining new building, is cradled in a valley, right in the middle of a beautifully archetypal West Country scene.
