The Forest of Bewilderment natural play area is a haven for little explorers and their families with plenty of natural play areas to enjoy, and well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome to join in the family fun.

A winter landscape with snow-covered trees surrounding a small classical temple with columns. The low sun glows faintly through a cloudy sky, casting a soft light over the scene. Bare branches frame the view, and the ground and evergreens are dusted with fresh snow, creating a calm, wintry atmosphere.

An ornate historic room with pale walls, decorative plasterwork on the ceiling, and a central chandelier. Large painted murals and a framed portrait adorn the walls, set between carved doorframes and dark wooden doors. Tall windows on the left let in soft natural light, illuminating the wide, empty carpeted floor. Black‑and‑white photo of an old-fashioned bedroom with a large four‑poster bed framed by two ornate columns. Opposite the bed is a decorative fireplace with a metal fireguard, and a framed portrait hanging above it. The room has patterned wallpaper, high ceilings with detailed cornicing, and an overall historic, slightly worn appearance. An elegant historic room with ornate plasterwork on the ceiling, tall windows draped with gold curtains, and a large decorative mirror between them. A marble fireplace with carved detailing sits on the right wall beneath a framed portrait. The room has plain painted walls and a wide wooden floor. White snowdrops bloom across a woodland floor covered in fallen leaves, with a group of people standing blurred in the background among tall trees. The focus is on the delicate flowers in the foreground, creating a soft contrast between the sharp details of the snowdrops and the out-of-focus figures behind them. A stone terrace with a classical statue and ornate urn overlooks a vast, neatly striped lawn. The landscape stretches into the distance with clusters of trees, rolling hills and a pale blue sky with scattered clouds. Provide your feedback on BizChat
