An off grid, but amazingly swish, ‘tiny barn’ on a 240-acre working dairy farm with the river Stour nearby, a seasonal wildlife pond and a fun hayloft for children
Leave your cares at the car park and don your wellies – it’s a 10-minute walk along a scarcely used public footpath (but you can borrow a wheelbarrow, or even get a lift) to this utterly private spot in your very own field with views soaring over the prettiest corner of Dorset. Why not start your holiday in style and have delicious breakfast ingredients waiting for you. You can purchase local sausages and bacon, mushrooms, eggs, bread and butter, and homemade jams from the owners – a feast, which you can cook on the gas hob or outdoors on the firepit over a grill like true pioneers. There are plenty of local footpaths from the farm and you’ll find details of routes in the space. The North Dorset Trailway is a 25-minute stroll for walking and cycling from Sturminster Newton to Blandford. Pack up a picnic and head for the river which also has spots for wild swimming and kayaking. Fishing can also be arranged but bring your own kit.
If you run out of supplies head for a superb deli called Olives et al, less than two miles away by footpath and road, for homemade bread, seriously good cheeses, salads, tarts and sandwiches. For traditional Dorset ales the Bull Tavern is just down the road, or for fine dining try Plumber Manor. Should you be stuck indoors, because of bad weather, then get the wood-burner going, play board games, read a selection of books, listen to the radio or pop a DVD on and settle in for a cosy time. Later you can lie back in the copper bathtub with a glass of wine in hand while you stare at the hornbeam canopy above you and wonder why you don’t live like this all the time. There’s plenty for children (over 7) to do and they can range quite freely, but it would also be a treat to leave them behind and re-discover each other in this little paradise.

We had a fantastic stay at the Heron! The host was so helpful and sent through lots of great information ahead of our stay. The cabin was beautiful in such a lovely setting, so peaceful and the whole site was well maintained. Great location of surrounding day trips and walks.

Such a peaceful and special place. We absolutely loved our time here. All the outdoor facilities make it the perfect city break. I couldn't recommend it more!

We had a great stay at The Heron. Everything was exactly as per the pictures and description online. It was clean, we had everything we needed and more including some lovely locally sourced snacks. On our first morning we drew back the curtains to see three deer walking past just feet away from our cabin, it was lovely watching them from the comfort of our cosy bed with a coffee! As we stayed in mid-October I was a little unsure whether we’d be cold but the cabin was very snug, in fact we only used the wood burner on one of the nights and opened the window as we were too warm! Hannah was very welcoming and friendly. We stayed with our dog who also had a wonderful time. Lots of lovely places to visit nearby, we particularly enjoyed local walks and Sherborne.

We had a lovely relaxing break at The Heron, exactly what we needed! The cabin was perfect, everything you could possibly need, and the outside space was beautiful and very peaceful.
We were fortunate enough to be there the same weekend as the Sturminster Cheese Festival which made a fab day out, with lots of delicious treats!

Rachael
Wow what a stunning place, the experience starts by following a path down to a stream and across a bridge to your own private field entrance. The Heron is set in a beautiful pond side location, teaming with wildlife we saw all sorts of birds, the crows were particularly funny, hares and the farm cat came to visit. The Heron is really well laid out and equipped, it’s small and cleverly formed, and the outside space is lovely for evening cooking and enjoying the setting sun or if your an early bird the rising sun, there are lots of cushions and blankets to make the outside really comfortable. The general location is good if you are out and about in Dorset nothing we wanted to see what more than about 40 mins away so the Heron was ideal.

The Heron was such a special spot to have a few nights away and we were blessed with the weather. Having a small toddler we thought would be tricky but the hut is well equipped and as a parent adaption is key! It was lovely to wrap up, sit outside with a fire and have a glass of wine while the little one slept. Lighting the fire each morning to warm ourselves up was a memory from childhood which I hope we have passed onto my son. We ordered two hampers which kept us going the whole trip as they’re generous in size. Thank you Hannah for bringing our heavy bags down while we navigated the path and stopped to look at everything my son pointed at!

We had a fabulous family holiday. The outdoor bath, lack of WiFi and tech was much needed. Loved the privacy that the heron gave us

Fantastic place to stay, nice and secluded but not too far out of the way to go for a decent walk to stop by in the local town. Very accommodating hosts and tidy and clean place, will definitely be visiting again.

Hayden
Perfect, secluded and cosy weekend stay, located away from any noise. The Heron was exactly how it was advertised and Hannah was hand should we have needed anything but everything we needed was already provided. We enjoyed cooking in, relaxing in front of the fire and soaking in the outdoor bath at night.
16/03/2024
Jamie
My partner and I spent 2 nights at the Heron cabin and it was the most perfect weekend. We arrived when it was dark and a wet, so our host, Hannah, kindly drove us, our luggage and the dog to the cabin. The cabin itself us wonderfully private and secluded, surrounded by luscious green fields, yet it offers a short walk to the amenities of town which is equally as charming. There are plenty of cute cafe's and grocery stores for supplies here. We took advantage of the glorious outdoor bath and cooked a leg of lamb in the Dutch oven over the fire pit - simply delicious!
We would both recommend this location to anyone looking for a private, peaceful getaway. Thank you Hannah!

Stay was awesome! Hannah was great, we arrived late and she still accommodated. Cabin was so cozy, the pizza oven was great to use. We really enjoyed watching movies with the projector. We used the outside tub as a cold plunge, which was great!

Just back from the most wonderful weekend away at The Heron. The setting was perfectly peaceful and just what two, sleep deprived parents needed for the weekend. The plan was to do nothing and not leave and the cabin let us do just this in such comfort. We cooked on the fire outside, had midday outdoor baths, sat and watched the birds at the pond, played board games in front of the fire and snuggled up with films in bed! Couldn't recommend this place more and will be back.

Casie
What a fabulous place! Hannah was so kind in driving me round to the Heron as the weather was absolutely dreadful when I arrived but once inside I was cosy and snug.
Thankfully on the second day I was able to utilise all the wonderful outdoor fixtures which really make this cabin special. Cooking on the fire pit and taking a luxurious bath in the outdoor tub were the highlights.
I also very much enjoyed the hampers. I treated myself to the small breakfast hamper, which had everything you need for two cooked breakfasts for one person and the luxury snack box, which didn't look like much in the box but was crammed full of delicious treats that kept me happy for days!
I'll definitely be back for this little slice of peace.

Katherine
Such a wonderfully relaxing stay at The Heron, where you feel completely on your own and able to soak up the surrounding nature in all it's glory. A highlight was having my morning coffee, sitting in the outdoor swinging char and listening to the birds go about their day. Hannah has created such a luxurious haven with the comfiest bed and cosiest linen, whilst also being off-grid and really away from anyone else. Such a treat!

As a family of 4, we all had a wonderful time. From the walk from the car to The Heron nestled by an ox bow lake. And adjacent to the lovely river Stour. A truly magical setting. The Heron is beautiful designed with everything you need. With lovely walks straight from the door. And the town is a short walk away for treats.

We had the most amazing time at The Heron.
It was a lovely break for our little family. The kids have been desperate to go camping/glamping and we decided this would be the best first experience. It absolutely was!
The set up was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting out every night watching the stars, having pizza (on the pizza oven) and late night bubble baths. Hannah the owner was very lovely and helpful too.
We will definately be returning in the future!

Emily
We had such a wonderful stay here. The location was just perfect, close to a little village but we really felt like we were by ourselves in our little cabin. The place was beautiful and everything we could have hoped for. Hannah was so welcoming and talked us through everything we needed to know. We can’t wait to come back another time.
29/07/2022
Lenny
Our stay at The Heron was the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of life! Gorgeous location in the middle of a field, we saw lots of wildlife and the tiny barn was a wonderful experience that left us wanting more of the ‘off-grid, simple’ lifestyle. A great place to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature.

Oh my goodness, this place is wonderful - your own little tiny home in the middle of nowhere! We had such a lovely week here - we all loved the outdoor copper bath, the fire pit (bbq every night!) our daughter was thrilled to have her own 'roof nest' up the ladder and the bed was super comfy. You are surrounded by nature, there's a wonderful wild swim just a field away, the owners could not be more accommodating or helpful - it really is just bliss. And that's not to mention the scrumptious marshmallows that were there to meet us....!

Laura
If you're looking for a real off-grid experience, with a little bit of luxury, this is the place for you. The adventure started when I left my car behind and walked along a much forgotten muddy footpath to find the accommodation. As I turned the corner into the field the little cabin appeared and I knew I had truly found a place to escape. The little cabin had everything I needed for a getaway and I absolutely loved the outdoor bathtub, reading a book snuggled up in the egg chair on the decking and waking up in such a comfortable bed with views of the countryside!

We had a fantastic stay at the heron. Hannah was lovely, she met us when we arrived and helped us with our luggage. The Heron itself beautiful and it was very private which is exactly what we wanted. It was a perfect little staycation

Such a wonderfully relaxing stay at The Heron, where you feel completely on your own and able to soak up the surrounding nature in all it's glory. A highlight was having my morning coffee, sitting in the outdoor swinging char and listening to the birds go about their day. Hannah has created such a luxurious haven with the comfiest bed and cosiest linen, whilst also being off-grid and really away from anyone else. Such a treat!

As a family of 4, we all had a wonderful time. From the walk from the car to The Heron nestled by an ox bow lake. And adjacent to the lovely river Stour. A truly magical setting. The Heron is beautiful designed with everything you need. With lovely walks straight from the door. And the town is a short walk away for treats.

We had the most amazing time at The Heron.
It was a lovely break for our little family. The kids have been desperate to go camping/glamping and we decided this would be the best first experience. It absolutely was!
The set up was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting out every night watching the stars, having pizza (on the pizza oven) and late night bubble baths. Hannah the owner was very lovely and helpful too.
We will definately be returning in the future!

We had such a wonderful stay here. The location was just perfect, close to a little village but we really felt like we were by ourselves in our little cabin. The place was beautiful and everything we could have hoped for. Hannah was so welcoming and talked us through everything we needed to know. We can’t wait to come back another time.

Our stay at The Heron was the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of life! Gorgeous location in the middle of a field, we saw lots of wildlife and the tiny barn was a wonderful experience that left us wanting more of the ‘off-grid, simple’ lifestyle. A great place to disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature.

It was beautifully relaxing, lovely to feel so off grid but with amenities close by. Kids loved their loft bedroom & honestly I was a bit jealous too. It had everything we needed & more.

Oh my goodness, this place is wonderful - your own little tiny home in the middle of nowhere! We had such a lovely week here - we all loved the outdoor copper bath, the fire pit (bbq every night!) our daughter was thrilled to have her own 'roof nest' up the ladder and the bed was super comfy. You are surrounded by nature, there's a wonderful wild swim just a field away, the owners could not be more accommodating or helpful - it really is just bliss. And that's not to mention the scrumptious marshmallows that were there to meet us....!

If you're looking for a real off-grid experience, with a little bit of luxury, this is the place for you. The adventure started when I left my car behind and walked along a much forgotten muddy footpath to find the accommodation. As I turned the corner into the field the little cabin appeared and I knew I had truly found a place to escape. The little cabin had everything I needed for a getaway and I absolutely loved the outdoor bathtub, reading a book snuggled up in the egg chair on the decking and waking up in such a comfortable bed with views of the countryside!

Our weekly newsletter delivers a burst of green to your inbox. You'll be the first to find out about our hand-picked places to stay, receive some fantastic offers and gain an insight into the inner-workings of the collective Canopy & Stars brain (don't say we didn't warn you).
And, as ever, we promise never to share your details with anyone else.
We will never pass your personal information on to any third parties, which is why we don't ask you whether or not we need your permission to do so! Find out more about our Privacy Policy.
Thank you for signing up
One more thing, we need to confirm your email address just to make sure we only send our newsletter out to those who really want it.
To do this, please click the link in the confirmation email we just sent you.
Book with us in confidence knowing you won’t find that place cheaper elsewhere. All of the prices we display are set and matched by our Owners. (In this world of foreign currency, we do have to say 'subject to exchange rates' for some of our European places.)
What does ‘from price’ mean?
Our ‘from price’ is based on a four night stay in low season and designed to help you to compare different prices across our collection. Some of our Owners vary their nightly rates and check in days throughout the year, so it may differ from the rate quoted below the calendar. It is quite common (although by no means universal) for places to charge a little more in peak season or for shorter stays, to cover changeover costs. Consider booking longer stays during the cooler months if you’re looking for the lowest nightly rates.
Agency Terms & Conditions
Except where otherwise specified, we Sawday’s Canopy & Stars Ltd (Company No 09088366) of Merchants House, Wapping Road, Bristol, BS1 4RW act only as an Agent in respect of all bookings we take and/or make on your behalf. As an Agent we act as an intermediary between you and the owner (‘’Owner’’) of the holiday accommodation (‘’Property’’) you will be staying in. We help to arrange reservations and bookings between you and the Owner and take payments from you on behalf of the Owner.
We are only arranging a contract between you and the Owner for hire of the Property and for any other services or arrangement you purchase from the Owner (the “Booking”). This means the legal contract for the Booking is between you and the Owner despite the fact that a payment for the Booking has been made to the Agent. Your contract for the Booking is not with Sawday’s Canopy & Stars Ltd (Canopy & Stars).
Canopy & Stars is part of the Sawday’s family of companies, a majority employee owned business, 24% owned by a charitable trust and a B Corp. We accept no liability in relation to any contract you enter into in relation to Bookings or for the acts or omissions of any supplier(s) or other person(s) or party(ies) connected with any Booking.
When making your Booking we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with the Owner, as detailed in clause 1.2 below. Your Booking is subject to these Agency Terms & Conditions and any other specific booking conditions of the relevant Owner(s) you contract with. The Owner’s booking conditions may limit and/or exclude the Owner’s liability to you.
You may decide to make more than one Booking at the same time. The price charged in total for more than one Booking will always equal the prices charged separately for each individual Booking. All Bookings are available to be purchased separately at the same price as they are when more than one Booking is made. This means that any multiple Bookings do not constitute a package as defined in the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992.
By making a booking, you agree that:
- You have read these Agency Terms & Conditions and agree to be bound by them;
- The lead name on the Booking will be the person responsible for the Booking and shall be responsible for paying the deposit and the full price, for making any amendment and cancellation requests and for the payment of any additional charges. The lead name accepts these Terms & Conditions on behalf of all persons in the Booking;
- You consent to our use of your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy;
- You are over 18 years of age and where there may be age restrictions in place, you declare that you and all members of your party are of the appropriate age
The Canopy & Stars online booking system enables Guests to make Bookings 24 hours a day. To confirm your booking, you must pay a 25% deposit (or full payment if booking within 10 weeks of your check in date) and the entire Booking will be subject to the cancellation policy as outlined in clause 2 below. The Canopy & Stars telephone booking line is open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturdays 10am to 2pm. When using the online enquiry form, for those Properties without online booking, please allow 24 working hours for us to contact you by telephone to confirm the Booking. If we are unable to reach you by phone, we will attempt to contact you by email. We will contact you during Canopy & Stars working hours (Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 2pm). Online or email enquiries will be dealt with in the order they are received, but please be aware that we cannot guarantee reservation of your selected dates until the receipt of suitable payment. Therefore, if possible, we do recommend that you book on the Canopy & Stars website using the online booking system.
1. Booking and payments
1.1 In order to confirm your chosen Booking, you must pay a 25% non-refundable deposit as required (or full payment if booking within 10 weeks of the date of your check-in). The deposit is non-refundable as it covers costs incurred and services provided to enable your Booking. These include, but are not limited to, marketing and PR, property inspection fees, Owner management, booking management, credit card fees and customer service.
1.2 Your Booking is confirmed and a contract between you and the Owner will exist when we receive payment of the deposit and send you a booking confirmation on the Owner’s behalf. This Booking confirmation email will be sent within 24 hours and will contain the details of your Booking and of payments made and due. If you have not received your Booking confirmation email within the specified time, please notify us as soon as possible by email (bookings@canopyandstars.co.uk). Please check your confirmation carefully and report any incorrect or incomplete information to us immediately. As we act only as booking Agent, we have no responsibility for any errors in any documentation except where an error is made by us.
1.3 Once the 25% deposit has been paid, the full balance payment will be due 10 weeks in advance of your check in. A reminder to pay your balance will be sent to you one week prior to this 10 week date, where applicable, by email. We automatically take the balance payment using the same card as used to make the deposit payment. It is your responsibility to advise us if we should use a different card and to contact us by telephone (0117 204 7830) to arrange for alternative payment method. If the automated balance payment does not successfully go through as there is a problem with your card, such as it is expiring, then we will contact you to try and take alternative payment. If you do not make any payment due to Canopy & Stars by the due date for payment and at the latest within 5 days of this date, then with regret, we will notify the Owner who will cancel your Booking and terminate their contract with you. In these circumstances, your rights to a refund are set out in clause 2.3 and 2.4 below. Please note that if you have paid in a currency that is different to the original pricing, we will not be able to guarantee the same conversion rate that was used to convert the deposit payment.
1.4 Except where otherwise advised or stated in the booking conditions of the Owner concerned, all monies you pay to us for a Booking will be held on behalf of the Owner(s) concerned.
1.5 Credit Card payments are processed via Elavon who provide merchants services facilities to Sawday’s Canopy & Stars Ltd.
2. Cancellation by You
2.1 If you have to, or want to cancel or amend your Booking, this request must be sent to us by email (bookings@canopyandstars.co.uk) and will be considered and responded to within two working days of receipt. Please ensure that you have received written confirmation of any changes to your Booking prior to travel. Whilst we will always try to help, we cannot guarantee that such requests will be met.
2.2 Cancellation by you at any time will result in your 25% deposit being forfeited. The deposit is always non-refundable as it covers costs incurred and services provided to enable your Booking.
2.3 All bookings are non-amendable and non-refundable within 10 weeks of your check in date. If you need to cancel your booking within 10 weeks, the total cost of the accommodation including the deposit will be forfeited. Cancellation should always be in writing to bookings@canopyandstars.co.uk.
2.4 If you need to cancel your booking at a date 10 weeks or more in advance of your check in date, the 25% deposit will be forfeited. If the booking has been paid in full the balance will be returned to you, minus the 25% deposit. Refunds will be issued in the same form and ratio as the original payment was made. Therefore, if a Gift Voucher was used to book your stay, the refund will be back onto a new Gift Voucher at the same amount as originally used. Alternatively, if you paid in cash, your refund will be processed in the currency of the booking. Where this is different to the currency of the payment card, this will be converted at the current exchange rate on the day of the refund.
2.5 Cancellations made by you, at any time, may incur a £50 administration fee in addition to us retaining the non-refundable deposit. This represents the administration costs incurred by us on behalf of the Owner to deal with such requests.
2.6 If extreme weather prevents you from reaching your holiday, taking, or finishing your holiday, you are still subject to these cancellation terms as outlined in clause 2.3 above. We strongly recommend that you take out a travel insurance policy which covers this eventuality. In the event of the property becoming unavailable (such as due to fire or flooding), Canopy & Stars will endeavour to provide the Guest with suitable alternative accommodation, starting with any other accommodation that may be available with the same Owner of your Booking, or will refund all monies paid, or a proportion in the case of curtailment. The Agency cannot, however, pay any compensation or expenses as a consequence of such an event.
2.7 Cancellation insurance is available to purchase from many providers, but will be a third-party arrangement and not involve Canopy & Stars or the Owner in any way. You are strongly recommended to take out personal travel insurance for all members of your party for UK holidays and you must take out personal travel insurance for international holidays, including for illness and cancellation due to Covid-19. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover is adequate for your needs, including cancellation and curtailment.
2.8 If you fail to check-in on your date of arrival your Booking will be cancelled and no refund will be due.
3. Amendments to your booking, requested by you
3.1 Amendments to your Booking can only be made more than 10 weeks prior to the check in date, after which time amendments may be treated as cancellation and our refund policy as detailed in clause 2.3 above may apply. All amendments are subject to availability and may incur a £50 admin fee detailed in clause 2.5 above.
3.2 If we can fulfil your request to amend your booking, any differences in price as a result of the amendment, will be paid by you in the case of an increase and refunded to you in the case of a decrease in price, e.g. amending your booking from low season to high season.
3.3 In the event that a date swap is offered, this will normally be agreed with a set timeframe to rebook and sometimes a credit against a future stay will be offered. The credit can only apply to a stay at the same space as originally booked.
3.3.1 If a date swap is offered, then the Agency Booking Terms and Conditions applied at the time of your original booking will still apply. Therefore, if your date was swapped within 10 weeks of the original check in date, the 10 week cancellation policy set out in clause 2.3 applies to your new stay, even if the new check in date is beyond 10 weeks.
4. Refunds
If a refund is issued it will be in the same form and ratio as the original payment was made. Therefore, if a Gift Voucher was used to purchase the original stay, the refund will be back onto a new Gift Voucher at the same amount as originally used.
5. Insurance
You are strongly recommended to take out personal travel insurance for all members of your party for your holiday, including holidays in the UK. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover is adequate for your needs, including cancellation and curtailment for any reason. Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on holiday.
6. Changes and Cancellations by the Owner
We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if the Owner needs to make a significant change to your confirmed Booking or to cancel your Booking. We will also liaise between you and the Owner to try and organise an alternative Booking offered by the Owner, or a refund but we will have no further liability to you.
7. Cancellations due to events outside of Owner’s control
An Owner may have to cancel a booking due to events outside of their reasonable control (see clause 22). In such circumstances, we will liaise between you and the Owner to try and organise an any alternative Booking offered by the Owner, or a refund but we will have no further liability to you.
8. Complaints & Procedure
We always aim to provide the best possible holiday experience, however, if you have any complaint or problems during your stay, please immediately notify the Owner during the stay itself, so that the Owner has the opportunity to resolve the problem at the time. If you do not follow this procedure, there will be less opportunity for the Owner to investigate and resolve your complaint and to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Delays may also mean that the amount of compensation you may be entitled to, may be reduced or negated.
Whether or not your complaint is dealt with satisfactorily, please also let us know of the problem as soon as possible by emailing info@canopyandstars.co.uk. We will aim to respond within 1 working day to acknowledge your email. We will then review your feedback and investigate the complaint. This may involve discussing your concerns with the owner, revising the website listing for inaccuracies, and reviewing previous guest feedback and internal inspection notes. This process can take time to complete, so please allow approx. 7 working days for a final response.
We also welcome you to fill in our feedback survey which will be sent to you via email the day after you check out. It is important for us to gather as much information as possible about the experiences our guests are having. This is what helps us support our Owner in fulfilling their potential and identifying if anything could be improved.
9. Our Responsibility for your Booking
Your contract is with the Owner and its booking conditions apply. As Agent, we accept no responsibility for the actual provision of the Booking. Our responsibilities are limited to making the Booking in accordance with your instructions and acting properly in accordance with our legal duties as an Agent. We accept no responsibility for any information about the Booking that we pass on to you in good faith. However, in the event that we are found liable to you on any basis whatsoever, our maximum liability to you is limited to twice the cost of your Booking (or the appropriate proportion of this if not everyone on the Booking is affected). We do not exclude or limit any liability for death or personal injury that arises as a result of our negligence or that of any of our employees whilst acting in the course of their employment.
10. Your Responsibilities
10.1 Please note that you have a contract with the Owner of the property. As such you are under a responsibility to behave in a proper, appropriate and legal manner whilst staying at the property with due respect to the Owner, the Property and other guests and their Property.
10.2 You are responsible for informing the Owner of any losses or damage to the property as soon as possible. Please note that you will be liable to pay the Owner for any losses or damage to the property caused by you or a member of your party (except reasonable wear and tear). Some Owners may also require a damage deposit. If so, this information will be provided on the website place page under ‘essentials’.
10.3 You must also leave the property by the check-out time specified on your Booking. If any guest behaves inappropriately or improperly (of which the Owner will be the final judge on their Property), or illegally, the Owner reserves the right to ask the guest and their party (at their discretion) to leave the Property before the end of the holiday period and/or refuse any future bookings from you. Please note that this would be without the right to any refund.
11. Pets
11.1 Not all properties accept pets. If you wish to take your pet on holiday, please advise us before booking and we can check whether pets are accepted at the property. You must obtain the prior consent of the Owner before taking any pets to the property. If you take a pet to a place that doesn’t allow pets, or you exceed the number of pets allowed at a place, the Owner has the right to refuse you to stay at the Property, and/or they may ask you to leave the Property before the end of the holiday period. Please note that this would be without the right to any refund.
11.2 A nightly charge may be made by the Owner for each pet and additional terms may apply, you will be notified of this at point of Booking. Please check these terms carefully before booking and arriving.
11.3 Please do not leave your pets alone or unsupervised in the property at any time during your stay. For the safety and comfort of your pet we request that Owners exercise due diligence at all times, especially where the property is located near a road/livestock. Canopy & Stars nor the Owner can accept responsibility for the safety of your pet.
11.4 If any guest has an allergy to pets, please be aware that Owners (and we) cannot guarantee that a pet has not stayed in a particular Property. We and Owners cannot accept responsibility for any suffering which may occur as a result of such animals having been present in a property.
11.5 We ask that all owners of pets keep their pet under control at all times and to be responsible for ensuring that they do not damage the Property, livestock or vegetation during the stay. You will be liable for any damage caused by your pet. Any damage is to be reported to the Owner immediately. Any additional cleaning required, that may incur an additional charge, will be at the Owner's discretion.
12. Special requests
If you have any special requests (for example dietary requirements, allergy, cots or room location), please let us know at the time of booking. We will pass on all such requests to the Owner, but unfortunately, we can't guarantee that they will be met and we will have no liability to you if they are not.
13. Maximum Numbers
Please note that except by prior arrangement confirmed in writing, only the number of persons specified on a booking confirmation may occupy a property. Most owners reserve the right to refuse admittance or revoke a Booking if this condition is not observed and you are unlikely to receive any refund.
13.1 The Owner reserves the right to sue the guest for any loss, damage or injury caused to the Owner, the Property or to other guests and/or their property. As Agent, we will have no liability to you in these circumstances.
13.2 The Owner only supplies the Property for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the Property for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose, and the Owner has no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity. If you do wish to use the Property for a commercial purpose, you must contact Canopy & Stars prior to confirming your booking.
14. Group Bookings
Not all Owners accept Bookings for a single sex group (for example, a stag or hen party). Guests wanting to make such a Booking should check with us beforehand to enable us to check whether the Owner is prepared to accept the Booking. We will then advise you accordingly. In event that an Owner does not accept this type of Booking then it is with regret, that the Booking may be cancelled, and cancellation fees may apply. It is the Guest’s responsibility to enquire with Canopy & Stars and/or check on our website beforehand to make sure that this type of Booking is permitted.
15. Pricing
15.1 Canopy & Stars reserve the right to amend advertised prices at any time on behalf of the Owner. We also reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. Special note: changes and errors sometimes occur.
15.2 Rates are set per place in the currency specified by the Owner. Where this has been converted into the currency of your preference, until the payment stage this will be an estimation only, based on a recent exchange rate. The original rate will be displayed before you confirm your payment and you will be given the option of paying in your own currency at our guaranteed rate, or paying in your own currency and leaving the conversion and any associated fees to your card provider.
16. Information & Accuracy
The information and prices shown on this website are varied from time to time and may change between the time you first view a property and make a Booking. You should check that all the details are as you expect prior to making a Booking. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the properties (including the features and extras available) may be incorrectly described and/or priced. If we discover this is the case after you have made a Booking, we reserve the right to contact you with details of the correct information and/or pricing and will give you the option to:
(1) proceed with the Booking based on the correct information and/or pricing, which may require the payment of an additional amount by you
OR
(2) subject to availability, change your booking dates to dates when the pricing can be honoured and so no additional charge to you. In the event that a lower price can be offered for alternative dates then the difference would be refunded
OR
(3) cancel the Booking. If we do not receive your instructions within 5 days of contacting you, we reserve the right to cancel your Booking without liability to you.
17. VAT
Many of the Owners of properties in the Canopy & Stars portfolio are not registered for VAT in which case no tax is payable. Where VAT is payable, the tax is included in the advertised holiday rental price. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of the Booking and the date of the stay, Canopy & Stars may adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Booking in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
18. Visa, passport and health requirements
Unless you tell us otherwise, we assume that all members of your party are British citizens who hold or will hold full British passports valid for the entire duration of the international Booking. Information on visa, passport and health requirements, where given and applicable, is so given on this basis. Requirements may change and you are therefore strongly recommended to check the up to date position with the Owner of the Booking, Passport Office, appropriate embassy or consulate or your doctor as applicable in good time before the commencement of your holiday. Prior to international travel it is your responsibility to check whether it is safe to travel by visiting the FCO website www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice.
19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These terms and conditions have been drafted in accordance with and are governed by English law and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to any and all disputes arising out of these Agency Terms & Conditions.
20. Discrepancies
In case of a discrepancy between these Agency Terms & Conditions and any other Canopy & Stars literature, these Agency Terms & Conditions shall prevail.
21. Validity clause
In the event that a court finds that a condition in these Agency Terms & Conditions is illegal or void, the illegal or void provision will be severed from the remainder of the Agency Terms & Conditions, which will continue to be valid and have full force and effect.
22. Events beyond an Owner or Agency’s control
If an Owner or Canopy & Stars is prevented or delayed from complying with any of their respective obligations under these Agency Terms & Conditions or a contract for a Booking due to events or circumstances beyond their reasonable control, the inability or delay in performing those obligations will not be treated as a breach of these Agency Terms & Conditions or a contract for a Booking. Examples of such events or circumstances include fire, flood and other acts of God, strikes, trade disputes, lock outs, restrictions of imports or exports, riot, accident, disruption to energy supplies, civil commotion, acts of terrorism or war, pandemic (including Covid-19), any national/local/regional government restrictions.
Thank you for wading through all the very boring, but very important stuff above.
Now the outdoors is calling, so go and get wild in nature!
We had a fantastic stay at the Heron! The host was so helpful and sent through lots of great information ahead of our stay. The cabin was beautiful in such a lovely setting, so peaceful and the whole site was well maintained. Great location of surrounding day trips and walks.
