IMAGINE the scene, reindeer, log fires and crisp frosty air – and you haven't even had to use your passport.

Enjoy five-star luxury your own way in the Scandinavian lodges at Gwel an Mor in Portreath, Cornwall.

Sit by your Christmas tree and crackling log fire while the wild Atlantic waves crash outside, and you peruse the spa or restaurant menu to get you relaxed and ready for the hurly burly of the festive season.

Pop down to the resort's Cornish Christmas Fair where you can meet Santa, reindeer and maybe stock up on an artisan gift or two before savouring the Yuletide treats.

The Christmas fair weekend (November 29/30) is a highlight of the Gwel an Mor calendar with visitors returning year after year.

Cornwall is a great place to stay at any time of year and the festive season is no exception. From beautiful Christmas lights and fabulous lantern parades, traditional Christmas festivals, food markets, craft fairs and ice skating at Eden and Truro to dramatic coastlines and beaches with spectacular natural beauty, perfect for winter walks.

Join Gwel an Mor for the Celebration of Christmas Fair with an exclusive weekend break from November 28 to December 1 and start your season in style from just £359.

Your special festive break will include dinner for two with a bottle of house wine in The Terrace Restaurant and either a late check out on Sunday or early Monday morning.

Plus, you'll have first choice of our Meet Santa slots at the Celebration of Christmas Fair!
