The Cider Store
Overview
The Cider Store is not just cool – it's sub-zero. A stylish barn conversion in Suffolk, sleeping 6 guests at beautiful Paradise Farm with a heated pool and family-friendly grounds – this perfect retreat is the brainchild of the infinitely inventive couple Gem and Thom. They've sculpted a sanctuary that’s all about kicking back, shoes…
off and stress forgotten.
With space for up to six lucky guests, this place has three tremendously trendy bedrooms, an open-plan living room with a cosy wood-burning stove that laughs in the face of chilly evenings and a farmhouse kitchen that’ll make you want to play chef.
The Cider Store is one of a few retreats on gorgeous Paradise Farm which offers 10 sprawling acres of grounds, along with a shared heated pool (April – Oct), kids play area and firepit. The property does have its own private garden where you can wind down and rest up after a day exploring.
Located in the quaint village of Westhall, a mere stone's throw (or a leisurely drive) from the bustling market town of Halesworth, this spot is prime real estate for both rural rovers and beach bums alike. Whether you're here to tramp through fields or tread along the coast, The Cider Store offers a stylish base camp for all your adventures. Just try not to get too attached – remember, you'll have to leave eventually!
Features
Kick back and sink into pure countryside bliss at the Cider Store, where the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space is all about easy going comfort. With warm neutrals and earthy tones, it’s the perfect spot to gather around the big dining table or sink into the sofas by the wood burner and unwind.
The charm doesn’t stop here – head to the bedrooms, where you’ll find two spacious king rooms with stylish ensuites, complete with walk-in showers, plus a gorgeous twin room that’s perfect for little (or big) ones! Oh, and then there’s the bathroom. We’re talking a…
claw-foot tub that practically begs for long, luxurious soaks.
And if that wasn’t enough, Gem and Thom, your top-notch hosts, are here to make your stay unforgettable. From private chefs and beauty treatments to yoga classes, wine tastings, and flower workshops, they’ve got everything you need to curate the perfect getaway. If you’re celebrating something big, check out the Event Barn—it’s ready to host all the memorable moments. For added convenience, there is an exclusive on-site shop for guests, thoughtfully stocked with outstanding local food, drinks and pantry treats alongside a curated collection of artisan homeware, gifts and nature-inspired children’s books, toys and puzzles.

The Location
The Cider Store is located in the pretty village of Westhall in the Waveney Valley region of Suffolk. While Westhall is a quiet village, it is also well-positioned for exploring other parts of Suffolk.
The charming market town of Halesworth is just a short drive away, offering independent shops, cafes, and pubs as well as the New Cut Arts Centre, which hosts events, exhibitions, and performances that draw in locals and visitors alike. Just beyond Halesworth, you’ll find the Suffolk Heritage Coast, with its breathtaking coastal towns like Southwold and Walberswick, both known for their sandy beaches, quaint seaside…
charm, and the famous Southwold Pier.
