Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton spent many happy hours in this beautiful part of the Somerset countryside.

Today, you too can enjoy this stunning manor house, set in gardens based on designs by Capability Brown.

The Wildlife Park is unique, with a fascinating Lemur Wood and a fine collection of big cats.

And in the evening, you’ll have a wild time with live entertainment.

Nestled in the Somerset countryside, this Grade II gem is a star in its own right.  Cricket St. Thomas is a perfect example of an English country manor house. The elegant charms of Cricket St. Thomas once graced TV's ''To the Manor Born'', after playing host to nearly two centuries of landed gentry, including Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton. The house is set in gardens based on designs by Capability Brown.

Although deep in the heart of the countryside, Cricket St. Thomas is surprisingly close to the delights of the heritage coastline at Lyme Regis, famous for its fossils and the setting of The French Lieutenant’s Woman.

Cricket St. Thomas is ideal for groups of friends, family or colleagues wishing to indulge in pure luxury.  It offers conferencing and events facilities for small to large groups.  The Pavilion Theatre is perfect for large meetings, exhibitions, dinner dances and themed events for up to 400 people.  A flexible range of informal breakout areas are available for syndicate group work, while the Boardroom is ideal for executive meetings of up to 30 people.  Whatever your requirements are, Cricket St. Thomas will be willing to help you tailor your event.
