The space Our luxurious lodge is privately located and right next to our reindeer grazing paddocks, as well as our Christmas tree plantations; creating a unique visitor experience. We are The Cotswold Reindeer Herd, one of the largest reindeer herds in the UK. It doesn't get any more exclusive than that. The Lodge is perfect accommodation for a romantic break for a couple, or 2+2 family, and features a luxurious king size 4 poster bed and a double sofa bed in the same room. There is room for a cot if you wish to bring one. The lodge is fully insulated and double glazed for year-round cosiness, with electric heating, and a wood burning stove with a starter pack of logs provided. Use of a cot will preclude the use of the log burner, for safety reasons, but the electrical heaters will easily suffice. There is a fully equipped bathroom with a large shower, and heated towel rail. The well-appointed kitchenette has a fridge, combination microwave, toaster and kettle. Bi-fold doors open up the living area onto the decking, providing a substantial area to relax and enjoy the view over our tree plantations, or to watch the reindeer play. All essential crockery and cutlery is provided. Mains electricity, linen, towels and tableware are provided. Our unique welcome pack contains complimentary tea, coffee, milk and a bottle of wine, as well as two postcards.

November - 30th December we open our gates to the public for our Christmas Event.

During our closed hours there will be more movement of our staff about the premises, but this will be kept as discrete as possible. 2.

This is for site safety reasons. 3.
