We had a fabulous 3 night break at the Reindeer park. The lodge was cosy and very comfortable set in very peaceful surroundings amongst the reindeer park grounds. We booked because the location was close to airshow but we will definitely come back to explore more of the area. The hosts Andrew and Clare are really lovely people and took time to showRead more us the beautiful reindeer and let us feed them treats. We also enjoyed watching the chickens roaming free. Such a great place. Hide

A great location just outside Cirencester, with lots to do in the area. We were made to feel so welcome by the owners, and we got the chance to meet and feed the reindeer. The cabin was very well equipped, and had reliable, fast internet access. The smart TV, although not able to pick up live TV, was connected to the internet so all the usual streaRead moreming services like iPlayer, Netflix etc were available. We enjoyed our stay here, and would definitely stay here again. Hide
