Picture your dream cabin. Chances are, you just imagined Daisy Chain. If you want to get away from it all and disappear into the wild in the snug surroundings of a wood cabin, you can’t do much better than this. Everything you could want comes in large helpings and there’s loads of space to stretch out, whether that’s indoors draped over the sofa by the roaring wood burner, in the outdoor bath or on the rocking chair on the large deck, as you admire the views over morning coffee. Daisy Chain sits atop a sandstone quarry wall, and if you wander down to the quarry, you’ll find the double fire pit, for either an evening’s drink fireside, or cooking up a log fuelled dinner. Lose yourself in the leather armchair after choosing a book from the library where guests are encouraged to bring, leave and take a book, while your partner makes a pizza and cooks it in the Ooni oven.
There’s also plenty to find nearby, bring your walking boots, bicycles and wetsuits, because Bewl Water Reservoir is just around the corner for a day in nature walking part or all of the 12 mile round reservoir path, trout fishing, and paddle boarding on the lake. When you’re all walked out, pop to the award-winning Bull Inn at the top of the lane for some incredible food and a cheeky drink before heading home to Daisy Chain for another unforgettable night.

Meet your hosts
Meet Stephen & Jane
Stephen grew up on a farm in Kent and Jane is a city girl at heart having grown up in London. They bought Downash Wood as a family retreat, while their kids finished their schooling in South London. Their son dreamt of a treehouse in the woodland, so Stephen spent the next three years obtaining planning permission and building their dream secluded treehouses and cabins to share with guests.
Wildlife & Environment
The treehouses and cabins are set within five acres of deciduous woodland known as Downash Wood. Downash Wood is bordered by Bewl Water Reservoir on the north side and Tinkers Lane on the south side. The land is on the borders of Kent and East Sussex, close to three ancient settlements of Three Leg Cross to the West, Ticehurst to the South and Flimwell to the East. Resident deer, active badger setts, plenty of pheasants and rabbits can be found at Downash Wood. Buzzards, woodpeckers, barn owls and other birds can be spotted, and butterflies at the right time of year. There are meadow areas with a variety of grasses and wild flowers.

We were looking for a quiet weekend away from the hustle and bustle of London ahead of the birth of our first child and found what we were looking for in Downwash Wood! Daisy Chain Cabin was overlooking a beautiful field of sheep and new lambs, quiet and tranquil it was everything we hoped it would be. The cabin was beautifully furnished and kitted out with everything you could possibly need. Blessed with great Spring weather, we spent a lot of time outside, walking around the reservoir, reading books in the deck chairs, using the pizza oven. Being 8 months pregnant, I loved the outdoor bath in particular! Despite being a mere 1hour and 30 mins drive from North London, the cabin was secluded, which is exactly what we were after. It is, however, also in walking distance to great pubs and we did a lunch at the Bell In, which was great. All in all, a wonderful experience and would love to go back!

Such a beautiful, well thought out cabin with everything you could possibly need!
Completely secluded (unless you count the sheep!!)
The outside bath is absolutely beautiful, having the fire on inside for when you get out of the bath is so nice!

Our stay at Daisy Chain Cabin was utter bliss. We felt surrounded by nature and felt incredibly peaceful and recharged. We wanted something that was private, secluded, off-grid but still beautiful with mod-cons and the cabin delivered above and beyond. The surrounding area was beautiful to explore and there was lots of cool places to visit nearby like the best farm shop, country-side pubs, cool towns like Lewes and Hastings. I didn't want to leave.

We enjoyed a fantastic weekend away at Daisy Chain Cabin. The design of the cabin allowed us to reconnect with nature and enjoy the full day outside, enjoying coffees on the terrace in the morning and dinning outside in the evening having fun using the pizza oven. The cabin is well located next to activities, we enjoyed going paddle boarding, road biking and mountain biking before coming back to relax with a glass of wine in the outdoor bath.

This was our third stay at Downash Wood, the first time in Daisy Chain Cabin.
The cabin and furnishings are top quality, the attention to detail and cleanliness is a hundred percent.
The outdoor bath is a bonus, so relaxing watching the stars. We enjoyed a Pizza evening using the Ooni Pizza oven which is supplied on the decking.
If you’re looking for a total relaxing break, I would highly recommend using Canopy and Stars, you won’t be disappointed.

We stayed at Daisy Chain cabin for our wedding anniversary. It was wonderful! The cabin is set away from any other buildings so you don't see of hear any other guests. It is perfectly equipped with everything you could need for a long weekend away, and the outdoor bath was such a treat! We can't wait to stay again in the summer to make the most of the outdoor space and fire pit.

Stay was perfect from start to finish. Really big cabin for 2 people, loved the log burner and outdoor bath and great that it had wifi and tv unlike some others. Very private and able to check in and out without needing to meet a host at a certain time. Ticehurst has great pubs, food at the bull inn is a must

Becky
This was our first holiday as a family of three with our 8 month old and we had the most amazing stay! Our baby was in his element exploring and going on walks around the cabin. The cabin is even more beautiful in person and completely wowed us! We had everything we needed and more. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in and the outdoor bath is magical. I wish we stayed for longer now, we'll have to come back!

Daisy Chain Cabin is set in perfect tranquility. As a newly lone traveller I felt safe which was important to me. The cabin was clean and well maintained with everything I needed. Every detail has clearly been well thought out. I didn't want to leave!!

Kathryn
The whole experience was better than expected. The cabin felt safe and secure whilst simultaneously feeling extremely free and open to the landscape.
It's beautifully built and the interior made it feel very homely, with attention to small details that really made it special. We were left wanting for nothing really, and the complimentary apple juice in the fridge was so good!
The shower was great and the hot water was awesome to have in a cabin in that location.
The bed was really comfortable and when the lights went out it was pitch black, which was actually really nice to sleep in!
The main living space was perfect, we didn't really use the inside dining table as we ate outside or on the sofa but it looked nice. Great selection of board games and a really easy to use fireplace with plenty of wood stocked up (some of the logs didn't fit in the furnace but there were so many others it didn't matter).
The kitchen had pretty much every utensil we needed to cook out meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The outside porch was our favourite, with a lovely rocking bench that we got lost in the view whilst swaying away. Only criticism is we struggled with the Ooni oven.

A beautiful cabin in a fabulous setting - for 3 nights it was our little slice of paradise. The hardest decision we had to make was what we were going to eat next!

Such a cosy stay in this gorgeous cabin which is complete with all the perfect extra touches. Board games by the fire, soaking up the surroundings in the outdoor bath and making pizza in the Ooni pizza oven. Exceeded our expectations.

Sophie
We felt quite grand arriving at the private gate & parking through little country lanes. Few steps up from the private parking, you have huge field (and sheep) and there is a cabin. When you walk into the cabin, it's very spacious with high ceilings and lots of French doors but feels very cosy, almost feel like you are in one of luxury chalets in Switzerland. Huge outdoor decking with outdoor bath & comfy rocking chair was a wow, especially lit with fairy lights at night. Love the little book corner with comfy leather chair, had lots of fun playing games in front of the cozy log burner in the evening. Stylish & well-equipped kitchen & Super comfy King sized bed, it has everything that we needed for the very relaxing stay.

This was our third stay at Downash Wood, the first time in Daisy Chain Cabin.
The cabin and furnishings are top quality, the attention to detail and cleanliness is a hundred percent.
The outdoor bath is a bonus, so relaxing watching the stars. We enjoyed a Pizza evening using the Ooni Pizza oven which is supplied on the decking.
If you’re looking for a total relaxing break, I would highly recommend using Canopy and Stars, you won’t be disappointed.

We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the cabin which was even better than we had expected from the photos. We loved the surroundings and tasteful decor and that every detail had been catered for by the hosts.

Me and my best friend had the most perfect, relaxing time in the cabin after Christmas. We stayed for two nights.

We stayed at Daisy Chain cabin for our wedding anniversary. It was wonderful! The cabin is set away from any other buildings so you don't see of hear any other guests. It is perfectly equipped with everything you could need for a long weekend away, and the outdoor bath was such a treat! We can't wait to stay again in the summer to make the most of the outdoor space and fire pit.

Stay was perfect from start to finish. Really big cabin for 2 people, loved the log burner and outdoor bath and great that it had wifi and tv unlike some others. Very private and able to check in and out without needing to meet a host at a certain time. Ticehurst has great pubs, food at the bull inn is a must

This was our first holiday as a family of three with our 8 month old and we had the most amazing stay! Our baby was in his element exploring and going on walks around the cabin. The cabin is even more beautiful in person and completely wowed us! We had everything we needed and more. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in and the outdoor bath is magical. I wish we stayed for longer now, we'll have to come back!

Daisy Chain Cabin is set in perfect tranquility. As a newly lone traveller I felt safe which was important to me. The cabin was clean and well maintained with everything I needed. Every detail has clearly been well thought out. I didn't want to leave!!

The whole experience was better than expected. The cabin felt safe and secure whilst simultaneously feeling extremely free and open to the landscape.
It's beautifully built and the interior made it feel very homely, with attention to small details that really made it special. We were left wanting for nothing really, and the complimentary apple juice in the fridge was so good!
The shower was great and the hot water was awesome to have in a cabin in that location.
The bed was really comfortable and when the lights went out it was pitch black, which was actually really nice to sleep in!
The main living space was perfect, we didn't really use the inside dining table as we ate outside or on the sofa but it looked nice. Great selection of board games and a really easy to use fireplace with plenty of wood stocked up (some of the logs didn't fit in the furnace but there were so many others it didn't matter).
The kitchen had pretty much every utensil we needed to cook out meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The outside porch was our favourite, with a lovely rocking bench that we got lost in the view whilst swaying away. Only criticism is we struggled with the Ooni oven.

A beautiful cabin in a fabulous setting - for 3 nights it was our little slice of paradise. The hardest decision we had to make was what we were going to eat next!

I booked the cabin to celebrate my partner’s birthday and had a really lovely time exploring the local area and pubs. The cabin was extremely cosy and well equipped.

Excellent stay. The location was spot on with walks from the cabin and quirky pubs within 15 min walk. The cabin was very toddler friendly and the outdoor bathtub topped it all.

Very enjoyable few days in placid, peaceful, verdant countryside.

Such a cosy stay in this gorgeous cabin which is complete with all the perfect extra touches. Board games by the fire, soaking up the surroundings in the outdoor bath and making pizza in the Ooni pizza oven. Exceeded our expectations.

We felt quite grand arriving at the private gate & parking through little country lanes. Few steps up from the private parking, you have huge field (and sheep) and there is a cabin. When you walk into the cabin, it's very spacious with high ceilings and lots of French doors but feels very cosy, almost feel like you are in one of luxury chalets in Switzerland. Huge outdoor decking with outdoor bath & comfy rocking chair was a wow, especially lit with fairy lights at night. Love the little book corner with comfy leather chair, had lots of fun playing games in front of the cozy log burner in the evening. Stylish & well-equipped kitchen & Super comfy King sized bed, it has everything that we needed for the very relaxing stay.
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 were looking for a quiet weekend away from the hustle and bustle of London ahead of the birth of our first child and found what we were looking for in Downwash Wood! Daisy Chain Cabin was overlooking a beautiful field of sheep and new lambs, quiet and tranquil it was everything we hoped it would be. The cabin was beautifully furnished and kitted out with everything you could possibly need. Blessed with great Spring weather, we spent a lot of time outside, walking around the reservoir, reading books in the deck chairs, using the pizza oven. Being 8 months pregnant, I loved the outdoor bath in particular! Despite being a mere 1hour and 30 mins drive from North London, the cabin was secluded, which is exactly what we were after. It is, however, also in walking distance to great pubs and we did a lunch at the Bell In, which was great. All in all, a wonderful experience and would love to go back!
