About this property

Renovated cricket Pavilion, huge views, walks. close to amenities, beach, pub

The Old Cricket Pavilion is situated in a wonderful picturesque location about 50m from North End Farmhouse and has a small enclosed lawned garden with sitting-out area, garden furniture and barbecue. Enjoying panoramic views over the countryside, it is ideal for a romantic retreat for two. The double sofa bed means that the Old Cricket Pavilion will sleep 3 to 4 comfortably. If booked with the Farmhouse, then 17/18 guests can be accommodated at North End Farm.


The Old Cricket Pavilion, formerly located at the Symondsbury Cricket Ground, has been renovated and provides a living/dining room with a wood burner, a 32" Freeview TV, DVD player, sofa bed and dining table and chairs. The small kitchen is well fitted out and includes a gas cooker, fridge and dishwasher. The bedroom has a king size bed and TV. The Bathroom includes a shower over the bath.

The Pavilion is at North End farm which is on Dorset's Jurassic Coast line and there are numerous wonderful walks from the door step. The farm is a Higher level stewardship farm and is great for mushrooms in the Autumn and the Orchard tress are there to help yourselves to as are the wild strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries and cob and chestnuts.

Chideock has great homely pubs and the Anchor in Seatown is fabulous and located right on the beach. Seatown and Charmouth are also great places for fossiling.

The towns of Bridport and Lyme Regis are nearby abound with theatre, bakeries, cinemas, pubs, restaurants, antique shops and markets. There is also the nearby Felicities and Washing Pool farm shops.

Celebrity chefs like Mark Hix, Lesley Waters and Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall and River Cottage are nearby.

This was our second stay in the pavilion and once again we loved it. Perfect location, plenty of places to walk, beautiful views, peace and tranquility. Eddie is the perfect host, he popped up to welcome us when we arrived then left us to it but wasn’t far away if needed. Looking forward to our next visit.

This was our 4th stay at the Cricket Pavilion and we will definitely be back next year. Perfect location, great place if you want time away from the ‘Rat race’ The pavilion is a quirky, comfy, peaceful retreat with stunning views of the Jurassic Hills, and is within easy reach of plenty of walks and places of interest.

A very relaxing getaway from it all place to stay. Everything you need to enjoy a much needed break.
The Cricket Pavilion met all our expectations, a rural escape nestled in beautiful Dorset countryside. It was warm and comfortable as during our stay the weather was very changeable with a few thunderstorms thrown in!!, we were happy to watch the storms pass from the comfort the pavilion with the log burner lit and the lights off. Some lovely walks from the farm kept us and our little dog busy and we managed not to get lost once, after studying the local maps left in the pavilion. We will definitely be returning hopefully in the spring for more chilling, walking, enjoying the beautiful surroundings and comfort of the Cricket Pavilion, North End Farm.

Relaxed quiet getaway
What a great little property tucked up in a field above the old farm buildings. Relaxed quiet walks in the countryside leeding to several nice spots to eat and drink and soak in the views. Easy access down to several dog friendly beaches.

Lovely Old Cricket Pavilion
Plus - Very clean and well equipped. Welcome fresh bread, jam and milk. Cannot fault the property. Owner sorted out a minor problem with the TV very quickly. Minus- Description did not indicate it was not in the village but had been moved to a farm 2 miles away, so a car journey or long walk to nearest pub !! Garden was very overgrown, long grass, such a shame as it was originally well cared for.

Great few days in Symondsbury
We had a lovely few days in Symondsbury! The house is a charming conversion of a cricket pavilion on the farm, which our dog absolutely loved. You can walk over the hill to Symondsbury, or down to Seatown nearby. We also went to West Bay, Lyme Regis and Burton Bradstock which are all a short car journey away. I highly recommend staying in the pavilion for a relaxing break and getting back to nature.

A wonderful retreat
The Pavilion is such a precious little find. We stayed for 3 nights and wished we stayed longer! If you're looking for peace, tranquillity and a place to unwind, you'll find it hard to leave the Pavilion. It also has the best location because all our favourite things in the area are very close by. Thank you, Eddie, for sharing this precious place with us! We will be back in the Winter for a Christmas break.

Fantastic short break at Symondsbury
Loved my time away at the cricket pavilion. So peaceful with wonderful walks straight from the door. The pavilion is well equipped and very comfortable. The views from the property are stunning and it is well placed for visiting nearby Lyme Regis and the Golden Cap. Hope to return one day.

Clean, comfortable and peaceful
Warm welcome from Rebecca. Attractive property with lovely view set amidst fields. Perfect spot for exploring the coast from Abbosbury to Charmouth. Only 10 minutes from sea at Seatown where there is a great pub. Park in the car park and take you ticket with you and the cost will be deducted from the price of your meal. The George in Chideock was disappointing. Ideal to get away from it all.
