Overview

Deep in the lush Cambrian mountains you'll find a cabin with an interior inspired by Fiona's passion for colour and nature. The interior, full of beautiful fabrics, cushions and wood, feels rich and warm; the wood-burner makes it cosy all year round. The Cabin was made by local craftsmen who worked to Fiona's brief: to create an elegant, simple space, if an octagonal timber structure can be simple... to create somewhere where guests can relax, cook outside and in, sit under cover on a veranda when the weather is stormy – and when it gets cold, be snug inside.

The idea was to craft a light and airy space in the grounds of Fiona's house, made from sustainably sourced materials and powered by electricity from the stream above.The Cabin has a roomy but comfortable feel with the space cleverly used. There is a smallish double bed and a kitchen and bathroom are tucked into the corners. The large windows make you feel immersed in the glorious countryside all around and make The Cabin a wonderful den from which to explore this beautiful part of Wales.

The wood fired hot tub is the perfect place to stargaze! Tucked away in the Cabin's own 'secret garden'. Detailed instructions and plenty of wood are provided for firing it up.

Please note that the adult abseiling activity shown in the video is no longer available.

By Public Transport

The nearest train station is Llandovery Train Station (9 miles). From here, you can book a taxi to the space (15-minute drive).

By car

Follow the A40 through Llandovery, squeeze past the Castle Hotel and wind sharply to the right past Llandovery College on your right. Take the next turning to the right, just before the railway crossing, signposted 'A483 Builth Wells'. Follow that road for about 200 metres, then take the first road left, signposted for 'Rhandirmwyn'.

Follow that road for approximately 7 miles, to Rhandir-mwyn village. Continue past the Royal Oak pub and after a mile or so you’ll see SLOW/ARAF written on the road - take the left fork signposted 'Cilycwm, Cwrt-y-Cadno and Pumpsaint'.

Continue down the slope and across the bridge. Turn left past the Towy Bridge Inn, drive about 100 metres and you'll see the dotted lines across the entrance to the drive on the right. Drive up through the open gate, and you will see the Cabin car parking space on the left just uphill from the Cabin.

At Nant yr Onnen

The owner provides some basic supplies for The Cabin.

Local Shops

Whilst there are no shops in walkable distance, you can order food deliveries from Tesco, Aldi and Morrisons to The Cabin. Please book your slot in advanced.

Towy Bridge Inn, Rhandirmwyn (5 minute walk). Full of friendly locals, it's a great place for a pint or two and some tasty home-cooked food, especially on a Friday night.

Neuadd Fawr Arms, Cilycwm (3 miles). The local gastropub - excellent Sunday lunch and evening meals.

West End Café, Llandovery (9 miles). The massive Sunday roasts are legendary and bring in bikers on the weekend from far and wide.

The Castle Hotel, Llandovery (9 miles). Newly refurbished with excellent food at lunch and dinner.

Outdoor & active

The Upper Towy Valley, surrounded by the Cambrian mountains and only 40 mins drive from the Brecon Beacons, has many opportunities for walkers, mountain bikers and those of an outdoors disposition. It all starts as soon as you step outside the Cabin, with some great walking possibilities. You can even canoe, kayak or fish on the river at the end of the drive.

Here are just a few of the many options, outdoors...

There are stunning walks in every direction from the Cabin - or drive to the Llyn Brianne reservoir and start from there.

There is a bike trail at Cwm Rhaeadr and also a pushchair and wheelchair friendly walk.

It's possible to go horse riding along the many bridle paths that are nearby.

The Dinas Nature Reserve has a lovely circular walk among the waterfalls of the upper Towy valley. Run by the RSPB, it's a fantastic place for bird watchers and it seems also Welsh fugitives. Legend has it that Twm Sion Cati, the Welsh outlaw, hid in the caves here. Also, just past Pwllpriddog Farm notice the heavily pollarded hollow oak tree on the side of the road. Reputed to have been planted in the 12th century, when much of the valley was owned by the Abbey Strata of Florida. If true, it would make this tree and two others like it on the Dinas reserve, over 700 years old.

Places to visit

Castles - the region has several castles that are open to the public.

The spectacular Carreg Cennen sits high on a rocky crag with magnificent views of the Black Mountain and Towy Valley. The dark cave beneath the castle is worth exploring too.

Dinefwr Castle, a 20 minute drive away, dates from the 9th century and is considered one of the most important castles in Wales. It's in the grounds of Dinefwr Park, also home to Newton House. The Park is a beautiful place for an afternoon stroll. Watch out for the many deer. There are events held within the park from March to November.

In the surrounding area there are many old lead and gold mines, drovers trails and ancient shelters waiting to be discovered on long walks.

Parks, gardens & nature reserves

There are a number of parks, gardens and nature reserves within easy reach of Nant yr Onnen.

The ancient gardens of Aberglasney are delightful. In a few hours you can discover its pools, cloister walk and ancient Yew tunnels as well as many rare plants.

The National Botanic Gardens of Wales boast numerous attractions including the world's largest single span greenhouse, a Mediterranean garden, and the Wallace garden honouring famous Welsh botanist Alfred Russell Wallace.

Dinefwr Park is an 18th-century landscaped park with nature reserve, bog wood and deer park surrounding the carefully restored Newton House. Home to the ancient herd of Dinefwr White Park cattle.

An RSPB nature reserve borders Nant yr Onnen and there's a Red Kite feeding station nearby.

Although it might feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, there are beautiful beaches 1 hour away, both to the West and South.

Local towns & villages

Llandovery is a good place to while away an afternoon. The town is bordered by the River Towy and the River Bran. In the Heritage Centre next to Llandovery Castle you can learn about Twm Sion Cati and William Williams, famous for being an outlaw and writing Welsh hymns respectively. You can also learn about the history and myths surrounding the Physicians of Myddfai. Other things to see in the town include Llanfair church, the site of the old drovers bank, Bank of the Black Ox, Llandovery College and the old printing works.

Llandeilo has a number of excellent pubs, cafes, restaurants and art galleries.

Rhandirmwyn and Cilycwm Village Shows in August are definitely worth a visit for a heady mix of eating, drinking and old-fashioned fun. The sheep dog trials are a highlight.

After a few years of city living, Fiona hankered for a more rural, sustainable lifestyle. She found Nant yr Onnen in 2000 after two years of looking at more than 200 places. She knew the moment she turned up the lane - even in the late October drizzle! - that it was the place she had been searching for. She made an offer the next morning without even seeing inside the buildings. The 200 year old stone cottage with its stream and little waterfalls, ancient oak, ash, birch and willow trees, and apple trees planted by families long ago was enough to convince her it would become her home and also eventually the home of The Cabin.

Design

The Cabin was one of Fiona's first projects. She worked out the design, inspired in part by the Roundhouse on the cliffs at Druidstone in Pembrokeshire, and supervised local carpenters to construct it. Fiona and her daughters decorated it, and it became a favourite place for visitors who wanted a bit of privacy and silence. The design with its large windows makes the most of the stunning views, while the interior is inspired by Fiona's love of India.

Environmental policy

Fiona has always tried to be careful about her environmental footprint. She explored several options for generating her own electricity and happily discovered that she was in an ideal location for a micro hydro generator, which generates a steady 3kW for about half the year. Fiona has shunned central heating with its noisy pumps in favour of wood burning stoves in all buildings, and is very fortunate to have a constant supply of wood from the management of trees within her own land. Their water comes from a spring in the hill above the cottage and is stored in an old milk tanker. The compost loo was inspired by one which was built by some friends.

Wildlife

Nant yr Onnen is a wonderful place for wildlife. From the Cabin itself it's possible to see redkites, cuckoos, woodpeckers, nuthatches, buzzards, henharriers, goshawks and sparrowhawks, while finches, tits and wrens are plentiful. The land surrounding Nant yr Onnen is a nature reserve with ancient oak forests as well as mountain streams and waterfalls all close by.

Reviews

Our guests say...

We had a lovely two-night stay in the cabin. It was perfectly quiet and uninterrupted time to relax and be mindful in nature. Not to mention the fantastic log-fire hot tub under the stars!

Rhys

Exactly what I needed, a break from everything. Relaxing and peaceful, a real reset of mind and body

Caroline

We had a great experience. Before arriving we were given a detailed guide by the host. This set us up well so we were comfortable when we arrived. Directions were clear and when we arrived the cabin itself was well laid out and clean. The hot tub was great with clear instruction and the surrounding area offered a lot of walks in nature, stars at night and a local pub. it was quiet and peaceful in the night and we slept well in front of the stove fire crackling. There was no phone signal but that wasn't an issue and we enjoyed our own company , read and listened to the radio.

Frazer

Our two nights at The Cabin couldn't have been more restful and secluded, it was wonderful. Surrounded by lush vegetation and birds, beautiful walks in oak forest nearby, and the cosy cabin (and amazing hot tub!) to return to. With no reception or WiFi, we truly felt 'off grid' and it was a much needed chance to rest and recharge. Thank you, Fiona!

Anna

Arrived at the cabin, lovely area, lovely setting. The cabin itself is really nice, the log burner kept us all occupied and cozy for hours. Definitely one of our favourite parts! We wish the hot tub would have been a touch closer just so we could have gone in whilst our daughter was sleeping and easily of been able to keep an eye and ear on her. That being said the hot tub was in a lovely place with views of the stream at the back. Was a little dusty under the bed, under the tables, skirting boards etc but I understand it’s a rustic stay so it’s absolutely fine. Other than that the cleanliness was good. Our daughter really enjoyed the swing once we found where it was. I took a selection of games with us to the cabin but I do think it would have been a nice touch if you included some board games for those rainy days! Also, adding some decorations to the cabin to make it homelier would of been nice, the walls seem abit bare but that’s just personal taste. We found the cabin ok, parking for a car was right outside, pub at the bottom of the drive was lovely and friendly. Definitely recommend this cabin, we loved our stay!

Was a very comfy little cabin couldn't have asked for more
16/10/2023

Will

We had a fantastic stay in the cabin, it was perfect. As an active couple with busy lives, usually spending every moment we can out in nature, we thoroughly enjoyed staying in much more than usual due to a lot of rain over the weekend. This made the cabin even more perfect and loved sitting on the porch, relaxing in the hot tub and keeping cosy by the fire while playing games.
29/09/2023

Thea

We had a wonderful weekend relaxing in the cabin. The cabin was very cosy and comfortable, simple but with everything we needed. The location feels secluded and private, and the surrounding hills just so beautiful and peaceful. So grateful to Fiona for sharing this lovely place.

Ailee

After a long winding trip along A483 we eventually arrived at Nant yr onen. Driving up the gravel path past a delightful chapel we parked up adjacent to the cabin. Deceptive from the from outside and tardis like inside! A well maintained, very clean, very calming delightful cabin that’s bigger than you think. A very well stocked kitchen and ample sized bathroom. We chose this place because it has no WiFi, no tv, no internet. It was amazing to be able to unplug from the world. My wife wants to live there on a permanent basis she was so enamoured with the place! We will definitely be booking again. The local pub is very welcoming and the food is superb. The cabin is truly a hidden gem in deepest darkest wales! It’s difficult to describe just how pleasant our stay was. The silence of the area was deafening! Amazing, relaxing, peaceful, and 100% recommended
14/07/2023

Andrew

We had a wonderful short break at the cabin! The facilities are great, such a cosy and romantic place, we were always warm and comfortable, with every thing we needed on hand. Loved the hot tub, the garden, the Towy Inn, just down the road, and a great area to explore.

Matthew

Its was lovely. Quite and beautiful allowing for much needed rest.

Laura

We had a good time at The Cabin in Wales. Staying there itself was fun. We didn’t need to go any attractions to fill our curious minds. Making fire, cutting logs with axe and preparing hot bath gave us satisfied and achieved feelings when they were done. We could relax in the soft lighted inside cabin and of course in outside hot bath. There was nice walk along river just outside of cabin. Even it was rainy during whole our stay, we enjoyed.
17/03/2023

Takako

We really enjoyed the cabin, it was the perfect getaway and break needed from our busy routine. The cabin was cosy and comfortable with no distractions (TV, internet, reception!) The firewood stove kept the cabin nice and warm. The hot tub was amazing, especially at night under the stars. It was the perfect place to enjoy nature with the location and nearby walks.

Hannah

It was a wonderful and relaxing place to spend a week with beautiful scenery and lovely walks. The cabin itself was absolutely perfect and kitted out exactly as we needed. The hot tub, hidden away in the trees was magical and a wonderful place to while away the evening. It was also great just to sit in the garden and watch the stars.

Gemma

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin! The setting was beautiful, surrounded by trees and green and quiet, but with the added bonus of a pub within walking distance! The cabin was comfortable and well-equipped and we managed to squeeze in a travel cot for our one year old. Star spotting from the hot tub was a magic.

Kirstie

We stayed for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed every minute! It was lovely to feel like we were 'off the grid' and away from our work lives.

Kirsty

We stayed at The Cabin to provide a well earned break after working hard through Covid lockdowns due to both holding essential Key Worker jobs. We arrived on the Friday afternoon and soon had the hot tub filled and the fire lit to warm it up. After a pub meal we spent a wonderful evening relaxing in the tub. Saturday was spent on the first of our long walks via a meandering route through the valleys and over the hill to Llyn Brianne and back. After another lovely pub meal we again had a lovely evening relaxing in the tub before retiring. Sunday we departed on our second long walk heading up onto the mountain above the Cabin and viewed the ancient cairns on the tops. Returning to The Cabin we soon had the BBQ lit and spent a lovely evening cooking and relaxing in the hot tub again before retiring. Sadly Monday was our last day and we had to pack away and depart but we will certainly return again!

Karl

Was a blissful and relaxing stay. Even enjoyed the hot tub in the pouring rain. The local pub was friendly with fantastic food and drink.

Imogen

Myself and my partner had a couple nights here to relax and celebrate to end of my degree. We had a wonderful time, between the beautiful location, spring fed hot tub, and constant wildlife!

Melissa

This was booked as a surprise birthday trip for my boyfriend who loves all things camping. I wanted something outdoorsy but a bit more substantial than your average tent and the cabin fit the bill perfectly. We were also bringing along our 8 year old so there needed to be things to do nearby. Going for a walk isn't always appealing to him but combine it with exploring a cave or medieval castle and it's a winner. The location was great, although the cabin shares grounds with the owner's cottage and another holiday let, its nestled away in it's own corner so really nice and private and you feel like the only people for miles. Overall we had a great stay and it was a lovely escape from everything.

This place was everything and more than advertised, the peace and tranquility of the cottage and the surrounding property were perfect. We had beautiful views from the veranda at the front, a secluded wood fired hot tub to the rear with a waterfall Just behind it and lovely walks around the surrounding gardens and river. The cottage was well fitted out with everything required in very good condition, plenty of towels, kitchen amenities and logs for the wood burner and hot tub. Good instructions for Covid 19 and an excellent standard of cleanliness throughout. The area was fantastic for walking and had some interesting sights along with tremendous scenery. This was a perfect stay and we would go back in a heartbeat.

We had a lovely time. Cabin was compact and comfortable. Location was ideal, a stroll to a nearby pub and a good base for exploring the area.

The Cabin was a lovely little getaway before our baby arrived. The Cabin was well equipped with everything we needed and the hot tub was a lovely perk. Be mindful that there is no phone signal or internet available but it was reassuring to know that the owner was nearby in case of an emergency. Surrounding scenery was lovely and plenty of walks available.

It was a perfect stay. Remote and amazing views, the nearest town was less than 20mins away. It enabled us to relax completely and even though it would put people off, we had no signal or tv which made us put away our phones and completely enjoy the peace and quiet, which we really needed. The cabin was very clean and the facilities were spot on! The hot tub was a perfect extra to the stay, even sitting in the rain was lovely.

The Cabin is fantastic. We stayed during storm Dennis and it rained for 2.5 days solidly. It didn’t matter. We lit the fire (a lot - we city folks aren’t the best at getting fires going), played Uno, drank rose and watched Netflix (on the ipad). When it was light (and we were sober) we went on some beautiful drives and had the roads all to ourselves.

My boyfriend and I stayed in a cabin within the mountains, near Llandovery. It was amazing, we were completely switched off from the outside world with no service and WiFi. The views were gorgeous, the cabin was perfect. There was a little hot tub outside we went in under the stars- so peaceful!

Mollie

We had a really lovely, peaceful, restorative time at the cabin. Three days was not long enough - we both felt that we could have stayed a full week and were very sorry to be leaving! We had a blissful evening looking at the stars on a freezing night from the warmth of the hot tub - we spent three hours in there!

Victoria

We spent three nights at The Cabin, walking in the surrounding area, including a trip to the nearby dam and reservoir, and visited some nice pubs nearby, and spent an evening enjoying the hot tub. We had everything we could possibly need for our trip, including a map and a torch. Our host Fiona provided very comprehensive instructions and was very friendly!
22/11/2019

Jennifer

Amazing place to stay, had a lovely time. Beautiful area and the cabin was lovely. We stayed for a few nights and the cabin had everything we needed. Clean, cosy and feels private and secluded. The hot tub takes awhile to get going but just stick with it and when it's heated it's so nice. Get the fire going in the morning and keep it going all day, by the evening it shall be toasty.
15/11/2019

Jessica

It was really lovely, I had a fantastic time. I cannot fault the cabin, perfectly built, everything works, the insulation is amazing - it really keeps the heat! Love the log burner. The outdoor space is beautiful, the hot tub is amazing, the location is incredible. The owner has clearly put love and thought into making an amazing get-away. This was my second stay, and certainly not my last as long as it's still open for business!

A beautiful, magical place. The cabin itself is well-appointed for its size with a nice level of finish. The hot tub was a dream and the garden truly beautiful. Just the right mix of isolation and proximity to things like a pub.

We had a fantastic 3 night stay in the cabin. It has everything you need for a "get away from it all break" - no internet, no phone signal and no TV ! The cabin was cosy and welcoming and a really nice chilled out vibe. We enjoyed using the hot tub under the stars and the grounds of the cabin/barn and the owners cottage is simply stunning. The local area is great for walking, biking and exploring by car - with some stunning routes and areas of interest. The Towy bridge pub at the end of the lane (5 min walk from the cabin) is a bonus, lovely owners, good pub grub and nice to get to mingle with the locals who are extremely helpful in giving advice about the local area.
26/04/2019

Lesley

The cabin was in a very beautiful quite little part of the world. Lovely to have no contact with any form of social media. The cabin was very comfortable and had lots of things to help you relax and enjoy your time. The local pub which was a short walk was staffed with very friendly people. And thanks to others staying in the house we managed to experience the HOT tub. Overall an experience I would recommend to others

Danielle

It was my birthday weekend so my partner and I had decided to take a break from the city and have a relaxing break in the country. The photos looked great and the hot tub nearby had sold us. On arrival, seeing the place in person was even more amazing. We fell in love with the beautiful surroundings as we walked across the land exploring the incredible landscape and visiting characterful pubs.

We had a lovely stay for our 5th wedding anniversary. The cabin is in a lovely peaceful location with no phone signal which is just what we were after.

Kerry

Our stay was beautiful from start to finish, we chose to spend our valentines at the cabin and have no regrets, it was the perfect place to connect with each other and get away from it all. We were blessed with stunning sunshine, clear starry night skies and cosy evenings snuggling by the fire. The cabin is in a great location surrounded by nature and stunning scenery, no signal for miles around (if desperate the friendly local pubs offer free WiFi) Added bonus of Gorgeous wood fired hot tub, romantically tucked amongst the trees. Unique and special!

We had such a great time at The Cabin. It had everything needed to get back to nature, whilst feeling we had all the special treats to make our trip special. Stargazing in the hot tub, next to the flowing stream. The log burner to sit and chill out next to. The wonderful walks and local pubs were perfect.

Kimberley

Our stay in the cabin was magnificent! Fiona the host had though of everything we would need during our stay; instructions for using the hot tub, binoculars for taking in the breath taking views, board games to keep us entertained at night and even more. The cabin was very clean and was decorated with a rustic theme that made us feel cozy every night. She has some great recommendations for things to do and the local pub was brilliant and very friendly. I was overall very thrilled with my stay and it was worth every penny. Thank You!

Bethany

We had a fantastic weekend at the cabin, it was cozy and had everything we needed. We were very lucky with the weather as it was sunny and hot every day. The bed was very comfy and we made good use of the hot tub and barbecue. It’s a shame we live so far away or we would be back again soon.
04/05/2018

The cabin was a wonderful cosy base from which we explored the surrounding landscape on our bicycles. The log burner kept us warm as we sat recovering from our excursions and the hot tub was spectacular.

Wow! Stunning! Perfect! Cosy! Everything you need in the most picturesque location with so much to see and be at one with nature. Hot tub was super fun too! Please book here and enjoy the experience! We'll be back!

Kate

Absolutely beautiful place !! Amazing location ... a mixture of earthy, enchanting and spiritual feels all creating a perfect spot for couples... best bits... surroundings, excellent use of space in the cabin and hot tub Things to know ... fire the hot tub up at least 8 hours before use, download a tonne of Netflix gems on your iPad (for winter nights anyway) and take a torch for your trips to the pub and back. Ps the pub literally at the end of the drive serves amazing food and the owners are lovely !! Only met the wonderfully creative Fiona for a brief moment and she was lovely !! All in all a fantastic place for our mini moon would highly recommend:)
19/02/2018

Fabulous in every way. The setting, the host, the facilities... thank you.
26/01/2018

Sian

Beautiful and peaceful setting, every last detail in the cabin well thought out - I.e. tea and coffee, oil to cook with, spare torch, even a nutribullet! No phone signal which was a nice break, but WiFi within a short walk. At least 2 great pubs and village shop within walking distance and everyone we met was so friendly - The Oak barmaid offered to drive us home! Hot tub was a really fun experience chopping wood and watching the stars whilst toasty warm in November. Amazing value for money!
06/11/2017

2 nights Autumn break. Great to discover a new area and so much to see. Oroginal cabin with everything you could want provided. Hot tub a real bonus and good eating options locally if you want to venture out.
30/10/2017

Peter

Absolutely beautiful! The most perfect secret location, lovely cosy and well equipped cabin. Never felt so relaxed before and the wood fire hit tub was absolutely perfect after a weekend of walking and just listen to the stream and look up at the stars! The bed was super comfy and had three great nights sleep. Beautiful surroundings even though we were visited by Storm Brian! All the little extras like the swing, wood burner and gardens made it extra special- we will be back!
20/10/2017

I really enjoyed my stay at The Cabin, it was nice to get away from London for some peace and quiet. The cabin was lovely and the fire in the room was amazing.

Beautiful, blissful cabin. The cabin itself is lovely, snug and cosy with everything that you need. The wood fired hot tub is amazing, fun to set up and even better to soak in. Location in Wales is wonderful, surrounded by nature, with a lovely little pub at the end of the drive.

The Cabin was exactly as described, better in fact. Clearly a lot of love, care and attention has been put into this place and it really shows. Thank you for creating such a wonderful place for people to escape to, with such great eco credentials.

We had a lovely stay at the Cabin, the scenery was beautiful. The cabin had everything we needed and was the perfect place to hide away in for a few days peace.
13/01/2017

Amber

The Cabin is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. Your first view of the very pretty little building doesn't disappoint. The big house is far enough up the path that you don't disturb each other, and sitting out on the deck with a cider, hearing nothing but nature is wonderful. And as well as the frankly stunning garden, lots of beautiful walks nearby too. Exactly what I needed - just fantastic.

Glenn

A wonderful couple of days, we both absolutely loved this wee haven! Despite the rain and wind we walked over 30 miles in 2 days and enjoyed relaxing in the peaceful ambience and gorgeous setting of the cabin in the evenings. We loved adventuring and exploring the local area - from jumping over waterfalls to crawling through caves - and we absolutely adored the tonic of wildness. We did not see a single person on our walks, only emphasising the secludedness of the area. The night sky was breathtaking and we enjoyed a night cap on the veranda under the stars each night to make the most of the dark, clear nights. Waking up to birdsong and the tranquil sound of the waterfall and looking across the valley to see Venus shining brightly each morning was truly magical! We left the cabin reluctantly but feeling totally rejuvenated and with smiles on our faces. Thank you for such a memorable and relaxing break! Shaun and Natalie.
04/01/2016

Natalie

It was wonderful. Despite the fact that it rained all weekend, the cabin was the perfect place to be. Very cosy, well equipped with games and books, extremely comfortable bed, plenty of wood for the fire and the hot tub was just amazing. We had fun chopping wood, playing on the rope swing and getting the hot tub ready and we walked to the Royal Oak pub for dinner on the Friday night and the staff there were lovely. Fiona was very friendly and extremely helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed every second of our stay and would love to come back in summer..

Lovely romantic hideaway in deep Wales. We brought our own food and sat in front of the fire for our meals, while the hot tub warmed up. Cycled out to the beach the next day over rolling hills and beautiful countryside.

Fergal

We had a lovely short break in this cosy cabin in Wales, enjoying the peace and quiet, lovely scenery and each others' company. If we had had more time there we would have loved to have used the hot tub but although we enjoyed our time there, we went out in the daytime and didn't stay at the Cabin for the 5 hours indicated on the instructions that it would take to heat up.

Within 30 mins of arrival, we were in the hot tub, relaxing after a 3 and a half hour drive! The cabin was great, much bigger inside than expected. It was really cosy, cleverly designed, and full of well thought out touches. We really relaxed the 2 nights we stayed at the cabin, and we'll never forget star gazing whilst drinking champagne in the hot tub.
16/04/2015

Sarah

Took the missus for her birthday. We needed to get away and she'd never seen Wales before. It was wonderful to get away from it all. No tv, no internet, no phones. We just enjoyed each others company. And the out door hot tub of course.

Stuart

The cabin was magical! We loved every moment. The hot tub was amazing even in -5 in the morning!! The cabin inside was fantastic, it had everything we needed! I took up birdwatching and could have sat at the window for hours!! The garden was beautiful and the walking was grat. We walked along the river and up to the royal oak-amazing pub, beautiful people, great food! We also waked around llyn brianne reservoir starting from the dam, this was beautiful and snowy! The whole experience was exactly what we wanted and can not wait to go back!

"Stay was fantastic, an ideal way to start 2015. In an idyllic setting with nothing to do but enjoy the surroundings and get some much needed R&R"
02/01/2015

Ashley

"We only stayed two nights but it felt like a week. It helped enormously to turn up during daylight, so we could get our bearings around the cabin and wider area. Fiona, the owner, was welcoming and friendly, checking we were okay but giving us plenty of space too. Our first weekend away from our kids in 10 years - it felt like a honeymoon!"

"It has to be our most favourite 'close to home' break we've ever had. The cabin was nestled up a tree-lined drive, surrounded by lush fields and sheltered by the mountain. It was comfortable and very idyllic!"
10/05/2014

Laura

"We had a fantastic time at the Cabin. We arrived late in the evening and were met by the most beautiful views of the stars and an extremely welcoming host who showed us around the cabin. The location was amazing, tucked away in the woods and with good walks in pretty much every direction."
28/02/2014

Ben

"Cabin was very cosy and idyllic location."
17/02/2014

Jamie

"it was amazing. The cabin was simple but with enough nice touches and home comforts to make it feel like luxury. The remoteness and eco living style was perfectly balanced with great facilities so you feel like you are getting back to nature but you don't have to give up your hot showers! the best bit about the trip was how much quality time me and my husband spent together, we really did forget all about work, stress, what day it was even. All that was facilitated by the remoteness of the location, and the simplicity of the cabin. One of the best holidays we've had."
04/12/2013

Annie

"Loved the tranquil setting, a pub a few minute's walk away, a beautiful designed and decorated cabin with everything you needed to hand. We thought the wind up torches were salt and pepper grinders initially, they were oddly located by the door rather than in the kitchen!"
11/10/2013

Alison

"Very good. Quiet and relaxing"
29/09/2013

Steven

"Very enjoyable stay, such easy access to fantastic local walks over the hills. Able to leave the car and just walk if necessary but also some superb drives around. The Cabin continued to surprise as it got ever more cosy as the weekend went on"
09/08/2013

Owen

"We both really enjoyed our stay. It was incredibly peaceful. There is not just one best thing. I loved that the porch had a cover as we could sit with a hot drink and watch the rain. The close proximity of such beautiful walks and waterfalls. The very friendly pub with great food."
31/07/2013

Stephanie

"It was wonderful. The owners had designed the Cabin to the last degree of comfort. Unspoilt views across the Towy Valley. And a zip wire for grown ups to play on!"
03/06/2013

Ffyona

"Really enjoyable, perfect for a short visit. It rained the whole time but this was actually a benefit as it meant we could make use of the lovely wood-burner which made the cabin really cozy. We needed a torch to get to the outside loo at night and it would have been useful to know in advance, but really this is the only thing that could be improved. We didn't see our hosts at all but found some great places to visit and eat through reading the guest book comments - the local area is lovely and had some great value eateries"

02/02/2013

Louise

"Extremely good, very laid back, and completely in the middle of nowhere, the cabin was very well kitted out with teas and coffees, the hob was great and we brought our own food to cook. At night the stars were incredible."
17/11/2012

Amber

"The location was wonderful. Had a real sense of seclusion. The decor was amazing and even though it was a chilly Novemeber weekend, we felt really cosy in the cabin with our wood burner. The facilities were excellent, even down to the musical instruments and games. There was no worst part of the stay, everything was amazing. Thank you so much for helping us find the perfect weekend."
02/11/2012

Sarah

"Most of the time, when you book somewhere to stay, you tend to create on image in your head of what it might be like and how nice it will be only to be disappointed on arrival. This was not one of those times! Everything about the place; its location, the cabin itself, the local area, the friendly people, all not only met our expectations but greatly exceeded them. Well done Fiona and Tim for creating such a rural oasis, we cant wait to go back."

23/06/2012

Linda

"We absolutely loved the cabin, and Tim and Fiona went above and beyond to make our weekend unforgettable. The valley is virtually untouched by tourists and the landscape is beautiful. We really loved that we had the option to have a cosy night in by the wood burning stove or walk to the local pub to meet up with locals who quickly became friends. Could not recommend this experience enough, it was only too short!"
23/03/2012

Jessica & Dan

"We absolutely loved our stay in The Cabin. The scenery was amazing and we saw loads of wild life. It was so quiet and peaceful...a real get away from it all. We loved sitting by the fire outside, wrapped in blankets and drinking wine!"

Suzanne

“This was a beautiful and inspiring place to stay. We were made very welcome by the owners and then left to our own devices which was just what we wanted. It was wonderful to be able to go for walks straight out of the door in this incredibly unspoilt and rather remote part of Wales. Our 9 year old loved the zip wire and swing.”
30/08/2010

Vicky

“Our expectations were more than exceeded. It was a beautiful location, and the cabin was even more lovely than we’d imagined, and the hosts made it all extra special. Geno said it was the best holiday of his entire life!”

We had a lovely two-night stay in the cabin. It was perfectly quiet and uninterrupted time to relax and be mindful in nature. Not to mention the fantastic log-fire hot tub under the stars!

Exactly what I needed, a break from everything. Relaxing and peaceful, a real reset of mind and body

Caroline

We had a great experience. Before arriving we were given a detailed guide by the host. This set us up well so we were comfortable when we arrived. Directions were clear and when we arrived the cabin itself was well laid out and clean. The hot tub was great with clear instruction and the surrounding area offered a lot of walks in nature, stars at night and a local pub. it was quiet and peaceful in the night and we slept well in front of the stove fire crackling. There was no phone signal but that wasn't an issue and we enjoyed our own company , read and listened to the radio.

Frazer

Our two nights at The Cabin couldn't have been more restful and secluded, it was wonderful. Surrounded by lush vegetation and birds, beautiful walks in oak forest nearby, and the cosy cabin (and amazing hot tub!) to return to. With no reception or WiFi, we truly felt 'off grid' and it was a much needed chance to rest and recharge. Thank you, Fiona!

22/05/2024

Anna

Arrived at the cabin, lovely area, lovely setting. The cabin itself is really nice, the log burner kept us all occupied and cozy for hours. Definitely one of our favourite parts! We wish the hot tub would have been a touch closer just so we could have gone in whilst our daughter was sleeping and easily of been able to keep an eye and ear on her. That being said the hot tub was in a lovely place with views of the stream at the back. Was a little dusty under the bed, under the tables, skirting boards etc but I understand it’s a rustic stay so it’s absolutely fine. Other than that the cleanliness was good. Our daughter really enjoyed the swing once we found where it was. I took a selection of games with us to the cabin but I do think it would have been a nice touch if you included some board games for those rainy days! Also, adding some decorations to the cabin to make it homelier would of been nice, the walls seem abit bare but that’s just personal taste. We found the cabin ok, parking for a car was right outside, pub at the bottom of the drive was lovely and friendly. Definitely recommend this cabin, we loved our stay!

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

(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

(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.
