We’re so excited to announce our summer collaboration with Thatchers Cider — bringing a taste of Somerset to your stay at Strawberryfield Park.
As two family-run Somerset businesses, we share a passion for doing what we do well. Whether that’s creating beautiful places for guests to relax and enjoy time together, or crafting exceptional cider using generations of knowledge and care, we both believe that attention to detail and a genuine love for what we do makes all the difference.
This summer, every guest staying with us before the end of August will find a special taste of Somerset waiting in their fridge on arrival — a can of Thatchers Gold and Thatchers Juicy Apple Cider to enjoy during their stay.
Thatchers have also kindly gifted our guests an exclusive 20% discount to use in their cider shop at Myrtle Farm, making it the perfect opportunity to explore one of Somerset’s most loved family businesses, located less than 15 minutes from Strawberryfield Park.
One of the many benefits of staying at Strawberryfield Park is being surrounded by incredible local experiences, and Thatchers Cider is one of those special places that showcases everything we love about Somerset.
Myrtle Farm is just a short drive away through the beautiful Somerset countryside, making it an easy addition to your holiday itinerary. For those who prefer a slower pace, you can also explore the journey by foot or bicycle at the many access points of the nearby Strawberry Line — a scenic route that follows the old railway line through the surrounding countryside.
Whether you choose to drive or cycle, the journey itself is part of the experience, giving you the chance to appreciate the landscape that makes this part of Somerset so special.
Thatchers Cider is a family business with a history deeply rooted in Somerset. The Thatcher family has been making cider for generations, with a commitment to looking after their orchards, respecting traditional cider-making methods and continually striving to create the best possible cider.
Myrtle Farm is at the heart of everything they do. It’s where their apples are grown, where their cider is made and where visitors can discover the story behind this much-loved Somerset brand.
Just like Strawberryfield Park, Thatchers has grown from family roots while staying true to the values that started it all — quality, care and creating something that people can enjoy and remember.
We are both proud Somerset family businesses, passionate about our surroundings and committed to offering our guests and customers the very best experience.
A visit to Thatchers Cider is so much more than just picking up a bottle of cider to take home. Myrtle Farm is a place where guests can discover the story, passion and craftsmanship behind one of Somerset’s most loved family businesses.
Nestled at the foot of the Mendip Hills, Myrtle Farm has been the home of Thatchers Cider for generations. It’s where their apples are grown, their cider is made and where visitors can experience the journey from pip to pint.
There are plenty of ways to enjoy your visit:
The Thatchers Cider Shop is the perfect place to browse their full range of ciders, discover seasonal varieties and pick up something special to enjoy during your stay or take home as a reminder of your Somerset break.
Alongside their own ciders, you’ll also find a selection of local produce, gifts and Thatchers merchandise. Guests staying at Strawberryfield Park can make the most of their exclusive 20% discount and take home a little piece of Somerset.
For those who want to discover what goes into creating a great Somerset cider, the Thatchers Cider Tour offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes experience. (must be pre-booked).
The guided tour takes you around Myrtle Farm, sharing the history of the Thatcher family, the traditions of cider making and the care that goes into every stage of production. You’ll discover how their apples are transformed into cider and, of course, finish your visit with the opportunity to taste some of their ciders.
It’s a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours and gives a real appreciation for the knowledge and dedication behind every bottle.
Located at Myrtle Farm, The Railway Inn is the perfect place to relax after exploring the orchards and discovering more about Thatchers.
Whether you’re stopping in for a drink, enjoying some local food or simply taking time to soak up the Somerset atmosphere, it’s a wonderful addition to your visit.
Our staff tip? Make the most of the incredible pub garden — it’s a beautiful spot to sit back, enjoy a Thatchers cider and take in the surroundings after your visit to Myrtle Farm. If your stay includes a Sunday, we’d also highly recommend booking in for their iconic Sunday roast dinner, a firm favourite and the perfect way to enjoy a relaxed Somerset afternoon.
A visit to Thatchers is an opportunity to slow down, explore the countryside and experience a business that shares many of the same values as Strawberryfield Park.
Both of our businesses have grown from family beginnings, built on generations of knowledge, passion and a commitment to doing things well. We’re proud of the care and attention we put into creating memorable experiences for our guests, and Thatchers share that same approach — they take pride in their craft, care for their surroundings and welcome visitors to enjoy everything they have created at Myrtle Farm.
At Strawberryfield Park, we love helping our guests discover the very best of Somerset, from hidden countryside walks and local producers to unforgettable experiences right on our doorstep. Our collaboration with Thatchers Cider celebrates everything we value: family, quality, tradition and a genuine passion for doing things properly.
