  The Lovelock theory is an extension of general relativity to higher
dimensions. We study the Lovelock black hole for a string cloud model in
arbitrary dimensional spacetime, and in turn also analyze its thermodynamical
properties. Indeed, we compute the mass, temperature and entropy of the black
hole and also perform a thermodynamical stability analysis. The phase structure
suggests that the Hawking-Page phase transition is achievable. It turns out
that the presence of the Lovelock terms and/or background string cloud
completely changes the black hole thermodynamics. Interestingly, the entropy of
a black hole is unaffected due to a background string cloud, but has a
correction term due to Lovelock gravity.
