General
- Reindeer ranch and white-horse farm with an enchanted garden
- A five-minute drive from Yeovil and 10 minutes from Montacute
- Barbecue hut; plenty of places to walk around the site
If you’re the type of person who starts counting down to next Christmas on December 26th, you might very well be interested in bringing a bit of the yuletide season into your summer break with a stay at Somerset Reindeer Ranch.
This farm is home to a selection of Santa’s fave animals, plus it has a ‘unicorn’ for the kids to meet (you'll need to arrange this in advance though, to make sure it's not, ahem, out spreading magic elsewhere). Other activities that can be booked on arrival include My Little Pony, Peppa Pig and mermaid experiences for the kids and a more grownup luxury rolltop hot bath experience with rose petals and a glass of prosecco.
Stroll through the wide open spaces at the family-run park in search of Dasher, Blitzen and co, then settle in at the seating areas in the enchanted garden for picnics next to the firepit; there’s also a fancy barbecue hut for meals undercover should the weather be more Christmassy than summery. Summer vibes certainly prevail at the site's tiki bar – it's open at the weekend for chilled beers and ciders or smooth spirits (and fruit juices for the tiddlers).
Here to explore the countryside as well as the site’s lush grounds? The park is in prime position for touring Somerset and a couple of other counties as it’s five minutes’ drive from Yeovil and around half an hour from the Dorset and East Devon Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The site limits numbers, so guests will have a little pocket of isolation to themselves when staying here, and there are also ample spots to leave your car.

Local attractions
Dotted with manors galore, the landscape around this farm is typically English in style. Mosey over to Montacute (10 minutes’ drive) to stare at a striking Elizabethan house set among lush grounds you might recognise from films like Sense & Sensibility, and toddle off to the 20th-century Arts and Crafts-era Tintinhull Garden (10 minutes) too.
There are plenty more attractions to amble towards in the local area as well, like the Fleet Air Arm Museum’s displays of military aircraft, aero engines and Royal Navy ships, the National Trust’s Palladian-style Stourhead estate (25 minutes) and the stunning scenery of Forde Abbey and Gardens (30 minutes).
The nature is a little wilder around Sutton Bingham Reservoir, which is a top spot for fishing, sailing or strolls (15 minutes), and in the woodlands, glades, ramparts and hamstone memorials of Ham Hill Country Park (10 minutes). With connections to the age-old stories of King Arthur and the Holy Grail, the hilltop Glastonbury Tor feels steeped in legend (25 minutes).
See more spectacular Somerset scenery at Cheddar Gorge (50 minutes), dropping by the Wookey Hole caves for some kid-friendly subterranean adventures while in the area (40 minutes).

Thank you so much for staying with us, it was a pleasure to have you. We are really pleased that you enjoyed spending time at our magical ranch surrounded by horses, reindeer, emus, skunks and all the other animals. We pride ourselves on providing a safe friendly environment where children can explore and discover surprises, such as Betty and Wilbur the pigs, or Bandit the farm cat. Our team are here to ensure that your stay is super magical and we work very hard to ensure everything is clean and well kept. We conduct twice daily patrols to ensure the site is up to standard, and staff are briefed to never walk past an issue. As you will remember when we gave you a personal guided tour on your arrival, we said that if there is anything you are unhappy with please let a member of staff know whilst you are on site and they will go out of their way to rectify the issue to your satisfaction. If you had mentioned that you had spotted a couple of poos to one of the staff they would have dropped everything to ensure this was cleaned up immediately. We are really sorry that you decided to wait until you had left the site to mention this issue. But rest assured we have had one of our expert poo pickers out today, as we do everyday! We hope that you enjoyed sampling the local ciders from the horse box bar, and watching the sun set from the butterfly deck which was exclusively for your use. Warmest wishes for the future, from all of us at the Ranch.
