Cricket St. Thomas Historic Hotel Chard Cricket St Thomas

Why not stay in our beautiful setting - made famous by "To The Manor Born" but more importantly a place of peace and calm. Serene and charming countryside for those who love to walk and spend time in nature as you recharge and relax your mind, body and soul.

We have our very own wildlife park which has become home to many rare species. Enjoy the Walled Garden, Cricket House and the Courtyard which all entwine with the gardens and trees. Beauty and serenity surround you. For bird watchers - you have come to the right place - spot that Osprey and other Birds of Prey here.

Chard itself has a number of attractions for you to visit. Godworthy House Museum gives a full history of the area and touches on subjects such as flying and artificial limbs!

Cycling is popular here too with organised and marked out routes where you can take in the scenery and breath in the fresh air.

A pleasant drive in to Bath or Bristol and a wealth of shopping, restaurant, cafes, bars, pubs, clubs and bars are all to be enjoyed and discovered.

Just a mile from the Devon border there's plenty of opportunity to venture over the frontier and have that clotted cream tea and adventure around the countryside there too.
