00:00So Cedar Hollow is a Narnia-inspired stays really for families.
00:06It started largely to help support a charity, the Congenital Anemia Network, initially to
00:12host events for the charity.
00:14We have patients from all over the country who come here to these events and then we
00:17started allowing the patients to actually use the treehouse and it kind of transports
00:22the families back to their childhood and allows the kids to live their childhood.
00:26And then it kind of from there, we applied for planning permission to start renting it
00:29out and then it kind of became quite popular as a rental.
00:32So this is actually Mr. Tumnus, carved actually by a chainsaw carver, my friend Matthew Crabb
00:38who is incredibly talented and you can see, he did say this is one of the hardest projects
00:42he's done and it's proven quite a hit here.
00:52So here if you give the table a little bit of a tap, you can see it's essentially shadow
00:58art.
00:59The shadow of the woman is interacting with the tree which is obviously creating the shadow.
01:15If you put the ring on the wedding finger of this hand, the chest.
01:27So if we go through the wardrobe here, it leads to the outside where then there's the
01:42slide and then there's a zipline at the end as well.
01:53So what we have here is the beaver's den and this is actually our old shed and I made it
02:01into an escape room for my daughter's birthday party and it was quite a success as an escape
02:06room and now it's more of a hangout area but we still have, in fact we have friends coming
02:12who are actually going to do the escape room tonight.
02:14So in order to turn on the lights in the beaver's den, you blow into the candle and then all
02:20the lights turn off.
02:44So when you come into the Fon's hideaway, you can see I've managed to convince my daughter
02:50to do some modelling for me.
02:52So Miriam here is Lucy and then Maya is the ice queen.
