Ty Mamgu (Grandma’s House) is a cosy cabin in a quite spot on the farm at Nantgwynfaen where you have peace and privacy. Its quaint, rustic look hides a couple of nods to the modern world, in the form of a smart TV with Bluetooth sound bar, and a Roberts radio. There’s a games barn that you share with guests of the cottages on other parts of the farm, but also a piano and a writing desk in Ty Mamgu if you’ve come to engage in more traditional forms of entertainment. It’s the sort of place where a good book and the warmth of the wood burner is really all you need, but you also have some stunning countryside to explore. The views from the outside seating and even the shower are fabulous, but heading out into the hills or over to the coast is even better.
Lovely Cardigan Bay and the gorgeous little beach at Mwnt are great spots for a swim or a dolphin-spotting trek along the All Wales Coastal Path. There are bus services that run up and down the coast so you might be able to hike one way and then get dropped back at your car. A delicious outing is on offer just up the road from Ty Mamgu as well, where a gin distillery and cheese maker sit side by side at Teifi Cheese, waiting for you to try their fabulous wares. Come back via the farm’s own shop and you can pick up some extremely local produce for the BBQ before you settle in for the night. Exterior lighting is kept to a minimum to let the night sky shine and as you sit outside Ty Mamgu with the campfire lit, keep an eye and an ear out for the masses of wildlife that call the beautiful spot home.

Meet Amanda and Ken
In 1998 Amanda and Ken, their young family and young-at-heart parents arrived at Nantgwynfaen in search of the good life. Leaving their Surrey homes and jobs behind they started farming organically, rearing Tamworth pigs, hens and suckler cattle with a lot of enthusiasm (and a copy of John Seymours Complete Guide to Self Sufficiency firmly tucked under one arm). The farm has grown and changed over the years and the business has diversified to include fabulous holiday accommodation. They still have hens and live the good life, but no longer milk house cows or make hay having retired from ‘farming’ in 2007. However the farm is let to another organic farmer who grazes the spectacular 60 acres with lambs in spring and cattle during the summer. The farm shop sells their own recipe sausages and it specialises in local and organic produce for which they retain a strong connection to. Ken is the resident artist, his paintings adorne the walls and his tactile woodwork is everywhere. Amanda juggles many hats but is happiest in the polytunnel and flower cutting garden. The farm is their life, and the love and care they feel for the place is clearly reflected wherever you look.
Wildlife & the environment
Nantgwynfaen is an organic farm with an abundance of wildlife. Looking up buzzards, red kites, swallows (April – Sept), sparrows, robins, thrushes, tits, woodpeckers, owls, butterflies, dragon flies, heron and wild ducks on the pond. Looking down, rabbits, foxes, moles, badgers (many badger sets on the farm), hedgehogs, tadpoles to name but a few. It is a place that Beatrix Potter would have been inspired in.
Nantgwynfaen Organic Farm has been certified Organic by the Soil Association since 2001.
The wood used for heating is sourced from a local supplier and fallen wood from the farm.

We had a really lovely stay, the cottage was very well equipped and cosy. We were surprised with some delicious milk and eggs left for us upon arrival. The farm shop was also amazing and full of local fresh produce. The hosts were very welcoming and shared some sightseeing tips which we appreciated because we were new to the area. Will definitely come back again!

Lovely stay at Ty Mamgu in a beautiful valley surrounded by wildlife and lovely views. It's a great location for walking and close to beaches, we went to Llangranog this time and it's not far from other National Trust beaches such as Penbryn. It's so peaceful and yet not far to amenities in New Castle Emlyn. perfect spot to explore the area and a lovely warm and cosy cabin to stay in.
20/08/2024

Perfect! Comfortable, clean, all amenities you could want or need are catered for. Owners are friendly and approachable. It’s situated perfectly for exploring the area, or just to chill and relax.

Lovely ‘Grandma’s House ‘ log cabin on an organic farm, decorated in a retro style. The farm was tucked away in a valley and felt miles from anywhere. Lots to see and do in the area. Lovely beaches for our dog to run on. Quaint little towns and villages to visit. All good!

The cottage was cleverly themed retro style and was like a 1960’s Grandmothers house. It was very comfortable and homely. The attention to detail is something the owners should be very proud of. They had thought of everything. The colour scheme, styling (even for the modern appliances), the furniture, the mismatched curtains and even the odd creepy picture (that for some reason people of that generation cherished).
They had anticipated everything a guest might need and should be congratulated for this foresight.
The setting of the cottage added to the ambience: surrounded by slightly overgrown shrubs and cottage garden which gave the cottage a load of privacy and a remote feel. It was very dark on a night. While on a farm it felt separate and very private.
I have shared video footage of the cottage with friends and they are all jealous
The driveway is slightly concealed and we missed it several times, but when we rang for directions they helped us find it.
There are some lovely walks from the farm.
All in all a lovely stay.
Thank you to the hosts for putting so much effort and attention into making the cottage what it is. One to remember.

We absolutely loved our stay at Ty Mamgu. The setting is just picturesque, on the working farm but away from the others,surrounded by meadows. We are family of 4, plus a dog who was welcomed by the owners dogs. The cottage is set up in an old fashioned way, as walking into another time/area but not lacking modern comforts. We used this location as a base to explore South Wales. Owners Amanda and Ken are very knowledgeable about the area and very friendly. The games barn was brilliant for whole family entertainment. I would highly recommend staying at Ty Mamgu.

A really enjoyable experience. The cabin is set in a beautiful, Peaceful relaxing valley.The owners attention to details is second to none, resulting in a cosy, lovely place to spend a couple of days..we received a very warm welcome on arrival from the owner relaxing, as the owner were away themselves. We definitely would like to return to Ty Mamgu.

Fabulous place to stay in every way; like stepping back in time to the comfort and quirkiness of granny's house from the 50's
So many lovely personal touches, and spotlessly kept!
The farm shop was a revelation, just wished we'd not brought so much of our own food!

We had a magical time staying in this idyllic cottage. There are so many details which made us happy - from the incredibly well-stocked farm shop to the well-equipped kitchen and the cosy blankets to snuggle up with in front of the roaring fire. Even the bedding was wonderful.

We had a fabulous stay in Ty Mamgu. The kids enjoyed playing in the games room and exploring the honesty shop. My youngest loved meeting Ben and Dave, the owner's dogs. The location is excellent, we spent our days exploring almost deserted beaches and then returning to Ty Mamgu for cosy evenings in front of the fire.

Our stay was memorable. Amanda and Ken have created the most beautiful retreat from the world. Everything one can need is at hand from beautiful beaches to glorious mountain vistas. Every aspect to make our lives comfortable was there. Ken is a true polymath. He takes enormous pride in creating a peaceful ambience.

A wonderful little cottage set away from anyone else, this proved to be a gem and is well situated to reach many attractions and towns in the area. The hosts, Amanda and Ken have thought of everything and you will want for nothing here. Their little farms shop is very handy & Ken's pot loaf is scrummy.

Ty Mamgu is one of the loveliest places we’ve visited. The views, the privacy, the wildlife - birdsong especially - beautiful plants and outside seating, charming and comfortable interiors, ingenious use of space, lovely communal facilities, including an incredible farm shop with local produce… all wonderful. It would be possible to have a few days here and just stay put, doing local walks and enjoying the views and comforts of the cabin. However, we did go out! Cardigan was a very nice little town (booked to eat at Crwst) and Poppit Sands is spectacular for a walk. The back roads are v v quiet and would be good by bike. We enjoyed slowly driving to the coast, avoiding the A roads and taking in the beautiful scenery. Had amazing sea bass and chips from the harbour side (posh) chippie in New Quay and saw some dolphins, then walked the coast path to Aberaeron and hardly saw a soul. Bus back to New Quay.
The local pub, the Daffodil looked v nice though we didn’t get round to going - next time maybe.
My daughter loved the games barn (lots of competitive table tennis) and using the farm shop.
The v strong WiFi and smart TV were handy - though I could happily forgo any of that

Jane
I had a wonderful time at Ty Mamgu – everything has been thought of and you certainly couldn’t want for anything in the superbly well stocked kitchen! After rustling up dinner, I retreated to the sofa and cosied down in front of the wood-burner with a book. Had I stayed for longer I would’ve ventured out to the nearby cheese farm and gin distillery, but Amanda keeps her organic shop well stocked for those who don’t plan to leave the site. Thank you Amanda and Ken for a brilliant stay!

Sarah
We wanted to explore a part of the country we are not familiar with and enjoy walking so Ty Mamgu’s proximity to the coast was a boon. We also like a few creature comforts, so the king size bed, smart TV and wood burning stove all meant our winter break was cosy and comfortable. We spent 5 days exploring the locality, walking the Wales Coastal Path and coming ‘home’ to our snug cottage was a joy. The cottage was well provided and a short walk to the farmyard took us to the organic farm shop with all the provisions we needed. The organic farm and eco ethos appealed to us.

We stayed here for a week. The accommodation and site were very peaceful and quiet, yet within easy reach of the coastline and local larger towns/countryside. When we saw Ty Mamgu and walked in through the door, we were delighted with our booking from the get go.

We stayed in this delightful and unique cabin in Nantgwynfaen organic farm for a week. We usually only camp in the summer because can’t really afford high season holiday lets, so this was a post pandemic treat - and it was just that! We had a live week in one of our favourite areas of Wales. Great food, stunning walks and big choice of seaside within a short drive. We fell in love with Ty Mamgu and the farm.

Bonnie
An absolutely magical break away. This is our 2nd stay at the Farm but in a different rental which was 5 star. TY Mamgu was exceptionally clean and welcoming with fresh Milk and Eggs on arrival and of course our freshly baked bread which we pre ordered. The property came with a delightful out door fire pit (plenty of wood supplied) and of course the indoor wood burner which made the stay even more cosy!
Our dog Hugo loved his stay also, wondering around the garden area and totally safe.
The coast is only 15- 20 minute drive away and there are plenty of beaches to chose - out of season is best for parking and dogs are permitted on most beaches until May 1st.
I would highly recommend TY Mamgu, TY Nodyn - both properties are quirky. Literally home to home in terms of equipment supplied. The farm is beautiful ad entertains stunning countryside views.
Writing this makes me want to return !
26/04/2021

We're super excited to be adding Amanda and Ken's latest space. A wonderful addition to the collection. The feedback for Ty Nodyn should give you a good feel for what it will be like. Book a stay and be the first to write a review!

We had the most enchanting and romantic stay at Ty Mamgu. The lodge is in the perfect location for exploring this area of Wales. With so much on offer, we will definitely be coming back again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Ty Mamgu. The setting is just picturesque, on the working farm but away from the others,surrounded by meadows. We are family of 4, plus a dog who was welcomed by the owners dogs. The cottage is set up in an old fashioned way, as walking into another time/area but not lacking modern comforts. We used this location as a base to explore South Wales. Owners Amanda and Ken are very knowledgeable about the area and very friendly. The games barn was brilliant for whole family entertainment. I would highly recommend staying at Ty Mamgu.

A really enjoyable experience. The cabin is set in a beautiful, Peaceful relaxing valley.The owners attention to details is second to none, resulting in a cosy, lovely place to spend a couple of days..we received a very warm welcome on arrival from the owner relaxing, as the owner were away themselves. We definitely would like to return to Ty Mamgu.

It was magical. We were able to be completely secluded and enjoyed privacy and peace. The cabin was all we hoped for and mare. There was such attention to detail, that it was actually better than all of the photos we had seen before we went!

Fabulous place to stay in every way; like stepping back in time to the comfort and quirkiness of granny's house from the 50's
So many lovely personal touches, and spotlessly kept!
The farm shop was a revelation, just wished we'd not brought so much of our own food!

We had a magical time staying in this idyllic cottage. There are so many details which made us happy - from the incredibly well-stocked farm shop to the well-equipped kitchen and the cosy blankets to snuggle up with in front of the roaring fire. Even the bedding was wonderful.

We had a fabulous stay in Ty Mamgu. The kids enjoyed playing in the games room and exploring the honesty shop. My youngest loved meeting Ben and Dave, the owner's dogs. The location is excellent, we spent our days exploring almost deserted beaches and then returning to Ty Mamgu for cosy evenings in front of the fire.

We had a lovely stay at Ty Mamgu. “Grandma’s House” is like something out of a fairy tail. So very pretty and cosy. Great location for getting out about too

Our stay was memorable. Amanda and Ken have created the most beautiful retreat from the world. Everything one can need is at hand from beautiful beaches to glorious mountain vistas. Every aspect to make our lives comfortable was there. Ken is a true polymath. He takes enormous pride in creating a peaceful ambience.

A wonderfully situated week of peace and rest away from it all.

A wonderful little cottage set away from anyone else, this proved to be a gem and is well situated to reach many attractions and towns in the area. The hosts, Amanda and Ken have thought of everything and you will want for nothing here. Their little farms shop is very handy & Ken's pot loaf is scrummy.

Ty Mamgu is one of the loveliest places we’ve visited. The views, the privacy, the wildlife - birdsong especially - beautiful plants and outside seating, charming and comfortable interiors, ingenious use of space, lovely communal facilities, including an incredible farm shop with local produce… all wonderful. It would be possible to have a few days here and just stay put, doing local walks and enjoying the views and comforts of the cabin. However, we did go out! Cardigan was a very nice little town (booked to eat at Crwst) and Poppit Sands is spectacular for a walk. The back roads are v v quiet and would be good by bike. We enjoyed slowly driving to the coast, avoiding the A roads and taking in the beautiful scenery. Had amazing sea bass and chips from the harbour side (posh) chippie in New Quay and saw some dolphins, then walked the coast path to Aberaeron and hardly saw a soul. Bus back to New Quay.
The local pub, the Daffodil looked v nice though we didn’t get round to going - next time maybe.
My daughter loved the games barn (lots of competitive table tennis) and using the farm shop.
The v strong WiFi and smart TV were handy - though I could happily forgo any of that

I had a wonderful time at Ty Mamgu – everything has been thought of and you certainly couldn’t want for anything in the superbly well stocked kitchen! After rustling up dinner, I retreated to the sofa and cosied down in front of the wood-burner with a book. Had I stayed for longer I would’ve ventured out to the nearby cheese farm and gin distillery, but Amanda keeps her organic shop well stocked for those who don’t plan to leave the site. Thank you Amanda and Ken for a brilliant stay!

We wanted to explore a part of the country we are not familiar with and enjoy walking so Ty Mamgu’s proximity to the coast was a boon. We also like a few creature comforts, so the king size bed, smart TV and wood burning stove all meant our winter break was cosy and comfortable. We spent 5 days exploring the locality, walking the Wales Coastal Path and coming ‘home’ to our snug cottage was a joy. The cottage was well provided and a short walk to the farmyard took us to the organic farm shop with all the provisions we needed. The organic farm and eco ethos appealed to us.

Lovely location near Cardigan Bay. Was attracted to the style of the interior. Being on the farm with facilities such as farm shop and games room

We stayed here for a week. The accommodation and site were very peaceful and quiet, yet within easy reach of the coastline and local larger towns/countryside. When we saw Ty Mamgu and walked in through the door, we were delighted with our booking from the get go.

We enjoyed location-near coastal walks.

We stayed in this delightful and unique cabin in Nantgwynfaen organic farm for a week. We usually only camp in the summer because can’t really afford high season holiday lets, so this was a post pandemic treat - and it was just that! We had a live week in one of our favourite areas of Wales. Great food, stunning walks and big choice of seaside within a short drive. We fell in love with Ty Mamgu and the farm.

An absolutely magical break away. This is our 2nd stay at the Farm but in a different rental which was 5 star. TY Mamgu was exceptionally clean and welcoming with fresh Milk and Eggs on arrival and of course our freshly baked bread which we pre ordered. The property came with a delightful out door fire pit (plenty of wood supplied) and of course the indoor wood burner which made the stay even more cosy!
Our dog Hugo loved his stay also, wondering around the garden area and totally safe.
The coast is only 15- 20 minute drive away and there are plenty of beaches to chose - out of season is best for parking and dogs are permitted on most beaches until May 1st.
I would highly recommend TY Mamgu, TY Nodyn - both properties are quirky. Literally home to home in terms of equipment supplied. The farm is beautiful ad entertains stunning countryside views.
Writing this makes me want to return !

We're super excited to be adding Amanda and Ken's latest space. A wonderful addition to the collection. The feedback for Ty Nodyn should give you a good feel for what it will be like. Book a stay and be the first to write a review!
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!
Wonderful accomodation in a lovely setting.
