Bring a touch of Christmas to every corner of a traditional Cotswold family home, from the toy decorated sleigh-top tree to the towering tree of the galleried hallway. Fill stocking-clad fireplaces with crackling logs and candlelight, roast chestnuts, warm slippers and sip sloe gin.

Decoration;
Mix fresh flowers with faux, entwine bannisters with pine garlands and fairy lights, studded with faux roses. In the dining room set emboridered cloths with golden roses and coloured stemware. Decorate the tabletop kitchen tree with be-ribboned festive cookie cutters,dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks and sprinkle with marshmallow snow.Wreaths ensure a warm welcome wherever you are; place on doors, windows and sills both indoors and out, for a warm and welcoming Christmas.
