Amazing views!

Incredible views, secluded location set above a quiet farm surrounded by fields, rolling hills and wildlife. The Pavilion has everything you will need and is in a great location to explore the Dorset coastline and its historic villages.

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.

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.

Very peaceful location, a little tricky to access due to some narrow single track roads, but this is to be expected considering its rural location. The pavilion is well equipped and has an enclosed garden which was a definite bonus for our dogs. We enjoyed being able to explore the surrounding farm land in the evening, even finding a seaview nearby The log burner is a welcome feature and can heat the property well.We would happily stay again.

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.

Quirky Haven

Arrived in roasting sunshine with, a smile on our faces, as we drove along the wild flower flanked track, greated by Eddie our friendly host at the gate to the quirky haven. Comfortable stay with all we needed. Had a fantastic week despite changeable weather.Lots of walks around and straight from the property. We were lucky to have the place to ourselves.Beaches and cliffwalks nearby.Thank you Eddie for sharing your wonderful property!

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.

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.

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.
