Every winery tour is different and with Stanlake being a smaller winery, Natalia's passionate and personal narrative during the tour was very interestingly focused on the environment and challenges that she is working with her winemaker husband Nico here in England. We were able to try a very enjoyable selection of Stanlake's wines on our journey through the production process. I've bought their Bacchus before...it is delightful...everything good about a warm sunny day in a bottle.

We had an excellent time today at Time Trap playing two rooms back to back! Both rooms were great and felt very distinctly different. Both were incredibly designed and were a lot of fun. My favourite was Imaginarium, it was very unique and all of the puzzles were fab! Pudding Lane was great too, the atmosphere was awesome, so was the set. Our Time Travel Engineers were both fantastic from the beginning brief to the debrief at the end - thank you Ella and Tegan for your help! They gave well timed clues when we needed them :D We’ll hopefully be back to play Station X soon. (I need to collect the last badge!)

The adventure begins from the moment the door opens The Time machine room was really inventive in the challenges, loved the inclusion of puzzles, logic and there are definitely a few points that stumped us at the time! Loved the passion of the team who showed us some behind the scenes secrets once we had finished! Fab & will definitely be back to try other rooms soon!
5. Basildon Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,184 reviews
An 18th-century house, a 1950s homeThis is a story of grandeur created, dissolved and resurrected - not once, but twice.Basildon Park is an impressive Georgian mansion, surrounded by glorious parkland, which was lovingly rescued from ruin by Lord and Lady Iliffe in the mid 1950s. The house you see today is a re-creation and restoration of the 18th-century mansion. They restored the elegant interior and scoured the country salvaging 18th-century architectural fixtures and fittings. They filled their comfortable new home with fine paintings, fabrics and furniture, which can still be enjoyed by visitors today.

Very beautiful house that original and several prosperous, successive owners never fulfilled to its potential as a dynastic home. WW2 offered limited available accommodation to HQ elements (intriguingly claimed for both the US 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions) prior to their sacrifice in !944. Their basic operations office with a new A/V display is functional, but emotional in context to those who left here to fight. The NT has furnished rooms with appropriate furnishings and displays although the original treasures are long gone. The house volunteer staff are some of the most friendly and informative you could ever hope to meet. Big kitchen and still used for cookery classes in traditional catering menus. Lovely surrounding flower gardens although much now to lawn. Approach to the House is from the public car park via a Yew Tree walk with wooden statuary and a play site for little persons. Particular worthy of mention are the delicious cakes and excellent coffee/tea available in the tea room inside ( jungle animal murals by Riddle ) or sit in outside court in fine weather.
