The scene of much of the famous TV comedy, To The Manor Born, Cricket St. Thomas was also frequently visited by Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton. This classic country house is set in splendid parkland, with colourful gardens, lakes, and a unique woodland area. The hotel provides extensive entertainment, including nightly live performances, and excellent dining venues, including The Granary which is set in a pretty walled garden.

The marble, lofty ceilings and tapestries in this classic country mansion speak of the grace and elegance of the Regency years. It’s good to know that the rooms are very much in keeping with the gentrified feel of the place. You’ll find the 12 Historic rooms, all beautiful with period detail and statement beds, in the original house. Otherwise, Signature, Contemporary Royal and Standard rooms offer lots of home-from-home comforts. View our rooms here

With the hotel nestled within a 160-acre estate, there’s always the invitation for relaxing strolls in the landscaped gardens and around the lakes and through woodland in the grounds. Inside, too, the Orangery and tea rooms offer elegant settings for afternoon tea, or for simply sitting back with great company or a good book. Private tours of the house and garden give a full picture of everything Cricket St. Thomas has to offer.

If discovering a new part of the coast and country is what makes you happy, you're in the right spot. Our classic country hotel is in a neighbourhood of cider farms and interesting market towns with independent boutiques and arts scenes.

Dine in the Granary or the Tree Tops restaurant and enjoy mouth-watering buffets or dishes served straight to you. Then head to our fabulous entertainment lounge and enjoy live music, entertainment and dancing.
