A little about us and how we work

Our core principles...

We’ve been searching for amazing glamping places since 2010. We started with just 7 spaces and today have hundreds throughout the UK, and Europe. This is how we work: 

Inspect and select - we personally visit absolutely everywhere we represent so you know it's special. If it's not, we don't include it in our collection. We look for quirky and unusual, modern to rustic, cabins, treehouses, yurts and more. You can see when we're out and about by following #CSOnTheRoad on Instagram and Twitter, or keeping an eye on our Facebook page.

Find great people to work with - The owners are the people who both literally and figuratively make our spaces what they are. We work with people who will provide great experiences for our guests

Keep our Price Promise - all of the prices we display are set by and are the same as those of our owners, and so you can book with us in confidence that you won’t find that place cheaper elsewhere.  In this world of foreign currency, we do have to say 'subject to exchange rates' for some of our European places 

Be people people - We like to think that both our owners and our guests will always give us a call if they have a problem and know that we'll do our best to find a solution. We won't hide behind rules and regulations.

Where it all began...

We’re part of the Sawday’s family– a business that’s been discovering and sharing special spaces for over 20 years. You can find out more about Sawday’s collection of quirky and special B&Bs, hotels, pubs and self-catering places. A few years ago, Alastair Sawday remembered his treehouse-building youth and set out to rediscover some of the joy of outdoor living. It was from this acorn that our entire canopy grew. He has handed over the reigns of the Sawday's companies to his son Toby, who has kept the principles of specialness and openness alive and overseen the flourishing of both Sawday's Special Spaces and Canopy & Stars.
