On the Northeast coast of Norfolk, just a ten-minute drive from the sea, sits a six-acre working farm and vineyard amongst the miles of green fields and hedgerows. And overlooking the rows of vines that flourish perennially, you’ll spot your space to stay. Never mind the wildlife that comes to visit, the bounding hares and deer (or Gerald the owl that roosts next door), never mind the proximity to the coast, or even being on the border of the Norfolk Broads National Park – this is a spot you’ll want to stay put in.
Entirely powered with PV panels, they’re fully net zero in terms of power usage as they generate all the electricity they need via 24kw of solar and Tesla battery storage. It even overlooks its own little fenced garden, with a firepit to enjoy starry night skies and a hot tub to soak in under them. Inside, you’ll find a stylish space, outfitted with all you’ll need, and more. The bathroom has a double shower for salty hair if you do venture to the beach, and there’s a chesterfield in the living area to slump into with pleasantly tired out limbs. There’s simply so much to enjoy here, and nearby, but your favourite thing will of course be wandering the many vines on a sunny afternoon – and remembering it forever.

Meet your hosts
Meet Graham and Collette
Your hosts, Graham and Collette, moved to Poplar Farm House from Norwich in 2021. They had always dreamed of escaping to the country once they hit their 50s and their children had grown up, so when they found a six-acre farm with a working English vineyard they knew they had to jump at the opportunity. Graham worked as a Biology teacher for over 30 years and has a keen and active interest in conservation, and ecological practices and processes. And Collette is a professional interior designer and runs a very successful business in Norwich.
Wildlife & Environment
Since 2021, Graham and Collette have brought honeybees to the farm, added a wonderfully vibrant wildlife pond and a spacious kitchen garden, producing a variety of fruit, flowers, and vegetables. They’ve also planted a whole host of native tree saplings happily prospering in the nursery beds. Guests will be treated to an amazing show of British wildlife here at the farm, with deer, hares, badgers, owls and 25 species of birds. And at the wildlife pond guests can also spot newts, frogs and dragonflies.

Really pretty, cosy cabin in a peaceful setting. Ideal location for lots of countryside walks, and the log burner and wood fired hot tub were perfect and really romantic to relax in. Cabin had everything in we needed andf the hosts were incredibly helpful.

The cabin was well appointed with everything needed to self cater and had a cosy feeling, with its decoration.
Graham, the host, was easy to get hold of and polite and considered in correspondence
We did have some issues though, feeling that as check in 4pm (and is £36 for earlier) and the hot tub needs to be filled (which took just over an hour) and then heated (another 1-2 hours), that for over £200 a night, either check in should be earlier or the hot tub should be full on arrival. It was disappointing that this was not the case as the hot tub was a key reason for the stay, and by the time we had unpacked our luggage and read the helpful information left by the host, we were getting into the evening.
despite ordering extra logs as recommended by the host to keep us going for two days, these didn’t even last one night, and in fact we sacrificed the little wood burner to heat the tub. although following the instructions to heat the hot tub exactly, it never got to the desired temperature on the first night and was unusable. We subsequently ordered more logs (£9 per) the next day which took the full cost of to £220 per night, which I would say is very steep for this type of stay.

Response from Canopy & Stars
Hello James. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cosy feel of the cabin and found Graham helpful and easy to communicate with. We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the hot tub experience. The information regarding early check in options, the wood-fired hot tub, including filling and heating times, as well as the cost of additional logs, is provided in the welcome email sent by the owner ahead of arrival, to help set expectations for guests ahead of their stay. As wood-fired hot tubs do take a few hours to fill and reach temperature, this can unfortunately mean they are not ready for use immediately after check-in. We do appreciate you sharing your comments and hope we can welcome you back for another Canopy and Stars stay in the future.

My sister and I came with our two babies and it was perfect for staying in an cosying up with them. The hot tub was a real treat for when the babies were asleep. We also enjoyed making pizzas in the pizzas oven that Graham and Collette left for us to use. The cabin was Rural, rustic and restful! Thank you.

A beautiful and peaceful break away.
This cabin is everything you need to unwind
You can see that a lot of thought has gone into this retreat, it is beautifully decorated, it is quiet, you truly feel submerged into tranquility.
I will for sure recommend this to everyone I know.
Thankyou so much

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay here. It's comfortable, cosy and well equipped. We enjoyed exploring the local area and coast, but also easy to walk from the farm. Would recommend for a restorative stay.

The Vineyard cabin was the perfect place for us to spend our minimoon. We thought it was cute and cosy and had everything we needed to spend a few days to ourselves. It was lovely to have robes each and fire wood for the burners provided to help keep the october chill at bay.
The kitchen and bathroom was very clean and useful.
I think we would've appreciated the surrounding area and vineyard if we stayed in spring or summer but it was a great trip either way.

Becca
Vineyard Cabin was lovely. It had everything we needed for a cosy, quiet stay, including inside, a comfy bed, small but perfectly formed kitchen and a lovely hot double shower. Outside, good privacy and we saw lots of bird life including an owl and a woodpecker from the comfort of morning coffee ( with freshly ground beans) on the veranda. The hot tub was great and we were lucky enough to be able to enjoy it on a clear and very starry night. Graham the host was very responsive and helpful, both before and during our stay. There was plenty of suggestions of what to do in the area without having to venture too far and suited us very well for our 2 night stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cabin. It is the most tastefully designed place we've ever stayed in and we've stayed in many places over the last 20 years. Both the inside and outside are very relaxing spaces. Sitting on the veranda with the festoon lights during the evening was just wonderful and the choice of books to read was perfect and so fitting with the space and location. We cooked our own meals there as we wanted to maximise our enjoyment of the cabin and everything we needed for this was in the cabin.

We had the best mini-moon stay at the Vineyard Cabin retreat. It was the perfect place to unwind and process after a wedding. The cabin and the surrounding area was beautiful. We didn't see a single person for our entire stay, felt like we had an entire vineyard to ourselves.

Max
Our stay in the Vineyard cabin retreat was very relaxing from the minute we arrived. It’s a delightful little cabin in a peaceful setting with a wonderful wood fire Swedish hot tub, which we made full use of. We were there to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday and for him to do some star gazing. Luckily he was able to do this one of the nights and the setting was perfect.

We had a most relaxing stay in a very unique log cabin in beautiful surroundings

Karen
We had a fabulous few days staying at the Vineyard Cabin Retreat. The weather was warm and sunny so we enjoyed breakfast on the veranda each morning overlooking the vineyard, watching hares surrounded by nature. In the evenings we relaxed by the fire pit or in the wood-fired hot tub.
The cabin itself was very well appointed and had everything we could have needed and more. Because the weather was hot, we appreciated having air conditioning when we needed it. We loved the fact that the cabin used renewable energy and we were able to charge our EV each night.
Our host was easily contactable and very helpful when needed.
A most can you just check my where is it enjoyable stay!

We had a really lovely time. We loved the Cabin it was so peaceful and we saw hares deer pheasants and all sorts of birds there everyday . It was in a great location being easy cycle rides to the beaches and Hickling Broad where we went to the Nature Reserve and out on a wildlife boat trip . It was also very quick to get on the Weavers Way the disused railway for peaceful bike rides and walks. We were able to cycle almost all the way to Blickling Hall on the Weavers Way and that is also beautiful. We swam at the lovely Waxham beach . Also drove to the gorgeous villages like Cley next the sea and we went on a great boat trip to see the seals . We had a brilliant holiday we loved every minute

From our cabin we visited The Old Vicarage Gardens in East Ruston - fantastic - so large - beautiful. Went to Lighthouse and walked on beach. Stopped on way home and bought Wagyu meat at self-service freezer - shed. Delicious. Relaxed in the wood-fired hot tub - so good.

The cabin was so cosy and the bed very comfy. Lots of board games and books to choose from, as well as the wood-fired hot tub which was delightful.

Relatively close to home, easy to get to. Great location, very well appointed cabin, very quiet, very little traffic.
Great to see Deer, Stag & various bird species in the orchard/garden in the mornings. Good location to star gaze while sitting round the fire pit with a Beer.
Old Vicarage gardens well worth a visit (1 mile away) & Cross Keys Pub in Dilham (2 miles) does great beer & food at very good prices. Hornsey gap (5 miles) great place to see Seals on the beaches.

Our stay at vineyard cabin retreat was wonderful. The cabin was clean and well appointed, with everything and more we needed to make our stay wonderful.
We were in easy reach of the coast and beautiful walks. Stalham was a short walk away to a shop and pub. We unfortunately didn't have time to test the wood fired hot tub but wish we did.

A perfect long weekend! The cabin was beautiful and exactly what we needed. Graham and Collette thought of every fine detail needed to make our stay relaxing and welcoming. Thank you.

Sally
We had such a beautiful 4 night stay here. The cabin had such a lovely set up - comfortable bed, fireplace, a kitchen with everything you need including a bottle of champagne. We used the hot tub for the first 2 nights which was so lovely under the stars, just be mindful to get the temperature right with the log burner. There was a good amount of wood to start us off but we did need to buy more as we were using the fireplace as well.
Perfect place for a relaxing, cosy getaway. We mainly stayed in as it was raining a lot. We would put the fire on, drink wine and play board games (they have cards/draughts/chess etc. but we took our own). Stalham is a walkable distance along one of the walk ways with a couple of pubs/tesco.

We had a fantastic stay at the Vineytard Cabin, it really lived up to expectations and more! The hot tub and BBQ firepit were definitely highlights of the trip.

The stay was great! We arrived Friday evening and got set up to enjoy wine and cheese under the stars. We had breakfast at the cabin and then explored Norfolk during the day. We went to a nearby pub for dinner and then enjoyed the cabin the 2nd night, sat by the fire pit and in the hot tub. Truly just a lovely lovely weekend

We had a fantastic stay for several nights, the cabin was delightful with so many wonderful touches. We loved evenings with the firepit and the hot-tub and days exploring nearby beaches, our favourite was Happisburgh. We really enjoyed getting away and relaxing and would definitely recommend the cabin retreat to others as a perfect destination.

The wildlife amazing. Picking fresh herbs from the garden. Full oven, microwave and dishwasher. Power shower .....we wanted for nothing. One of the best stay cation we have ever had. Will be booking again

We arrived to a beautiful cabin with a welcome note and all the information we needed. The hot tub was almost full so we could get on with heating it up.
We relaxed and wandered around the lovely gardens and went out for dinner nearby. We then got back and drank into the evening soaking in the tub. The next morning we soaked up the peace and quiet and made meals on the fire pit.
This was a really relaxing break in very comfortable and surroundings. We would not hesitate to book again, the beaches and scenery nearby are lovely!

Our stay at Vineyard Cabin Retreat was amazing! The cabin itself is so cozy and you can tell that so much thought has been put into all of the details. We had everything we needed (including coffee beans and a grinder - as a coffee lover, I was seriously impressed). In the evening, the hot tub was great to use and the lights around the cabin made it look magical! The hosts were very friendly and helpful, and although they live on-site, the cabin offers a lot of privacy. The surrounding area is beautiful, with the perfect combination of sea and greenery. We will definitely be back!

On arrival we were blown away by the space; the cabin is beautifully crafted with gorgeous interiors and lots of thoughtful touches. During our stay, we enjoyed peaceful moments overlooking the vineyard, explored the grass meadows and were fortunate to see a barn owl glide overhead whilst soaking in the wood fired hot tub. This is a magical space we would love to return to!

Really pretty, cosy cabin in a peaceful setting. Ideal location for lots of countryside walks, and the log burner and wood fired hot tub were perfect and really romantic to relax in. Cabin had everything in we needed andf the hosts were incredibly helpful.

The cabin was well appointed with everything needed to self cater and had a cosy feeling, with its decoration.
Graham, the host, was easy to get hold of and polite and considered in correspondence
We did have some issues though, feeling that as check in 4pm (and is £36 for earlier) and the hot tub needs to be filled (which took just over an hour) and then heated (another 1-2 hours), that for over £200 a night, either check in should be earlier or the hot tub should be full on arrival. It was disappointing that this was not the case as the hot tub was a key reason for the stay, and by the time we had unpacked our luggage and read the helpful information left by the host, we were getting into the evening.
despite ordering extra logs as recommended by the host to keep us going for two days, these didn’t even last one night, and in fact we sacrificed the little wood burner to heat the tub. although following the instructions to heat the hot tub exactly, it never got to the desired temperature on the first night and was unusable. We subsequently ordered more logs (£9 per) the next day which took the full cost of to £220 per night, which I would say is very steep for this type of stay.

Response from Canopy & Stars
Hello James. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cosy feel of the cabin and found Graham helpful and easy to communicate with. We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the hot tub experience. The information regarding early check in options, the wood-fired hot tub, including filling and heating times, as well as the cost of additional logs, is provided in the welcome email sent by the owner ahead of arrival, to help set expectations for guests ahead of their stay. As wood-fired hot tubs do take a few hours to fill and reach temperature, this can unfortunately mean they are not ready for use immediately after check-in. We do appreciate you sharing your comments and hope we can welcome you back for another Canopy and Stars stay in the future.

My sister and I came with our two babies and it was perfect for staying in an cosying up with them. The hot tub was a real treat for when the babies were asleep. We also enjoyed making pizzas in the pizzas oven that Graham and Collette left for us to use. The cabin was Rural, rustic and restful! Thank you.

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay here. It's comfortable, cosy and well equipped. We enjoyed exploring the local area and coast, but also easy to walk from the farm. Would recommend for a restorative stay.

The Vineyard cabin was the perfect place for us to spend our minimoon. We thought it was cute and cosy and had everything we needed to spend a few days to ourselves. It was lovely to have robes each and fire wood for the burners provided to help keep the october chill at bay.
The kitchen and bathroom was very clean and useful.
I think we would've appreciated the surrounding area and vineyard if we stayed in spring or summer but it was a great trip either way.

Vineyard Cabin was lovely. It had everything we needed for a cosy, quiet stay, including inside, a comfy bed, small but perfectly formed kitchen and a lovely hot double shower. Outside, good privacy and we saw lots of bird life including an owl and a woodpecker from the comfort of morning coffee ( with freshly ground beans) on the veranda. The hot tub was great and we were lucky enough to be able to enjoy it on a clear and very starry night. Graham the host was very responsive and helpful, both before and during our stay. There was plenty of suggestions of what to do in the area without having to venture too far and suited us very well for our 2 night stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cabin. It is the most tastefully designed place we've ever stayed in and we've stayed in many places over the last 20 years. Both the inside and outside are very relaxing spaces. Sitting on the veranda with the festoon lights during the evening was just wonderful and the choice of books to read was perfect and so fitting with the space and location. We cooked our own meals there as we wanted to maximise our enjoyment of the cabin and everything we needed for this was in the cabin.

We had the best mini-moon stay at the Vineyard Cabin retreat. It was the perfect place to unwind and process after a wedding. The cabin and the surrounding area was beautiful. We didn't see a single person for our entire stay, felt like we had an entire vineyard to ourselves.

Our stay in the Vineyard cabin retreat was very relaxing from the minute we arrived. It’s a delightful little cabin in a peaceful setting with a wonderful wood fire Swedish hot tub, which we made full use of. We were there to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday and for him to do some star gazing. Luckily he was able to do this one of the nights and the setting was perfect.

We had a fabulous few days staying at the Vineyard Cabin Retreat. The weather was warm and sunny so we enjoyed breakfast on the veranda each morning overlooking the vineyard, watching hares surrounded by nature. In the evenings we relaxed by the fire pit or in the wood-fired hot tub.
The cabin itself was very well appointed and had everything we could have needed and more. Because the weather was hot, we appreciated having air conditioning when we needed it. We loved the fact that the cabin used renewable energy and we were able to charge our EV each night.
Our host was easily contactable and very helpful when needed.
A most can you just check my where is it enjoyable stay!

We had a really lovely time. We loved the Cabin it was so peaceful and we saw hares deer pheasants and all sorts of birds there everyday . It was in a great location being easy cycle rides to the beaches and Hickling Broad where we went to the Nature Reserve and out on a wildlife boat trip . It was also very quick to get on the Weavers Way the disused railway for peaceful bike rides and walks. We were able to cycle almost all the way to Blickling Hall on the Weavers Way and that is also beautiful. We swam at the lovely Waxham beach . Also drove to the gorgeous villages like Cley next the sea and we went on a great boat trip to see the seals . We had a brilliant holiday we loved every minute

We had a fantastic birthday break at Vineyard Cabin Retreat. Beautifully equipped cabin with great attention to detail. Peaceful, quiet and tranquil, not overlooked, with a view over the vineyard. Perfectly located for walking or driving to other attractions.
It was a lovely touch having a welcome pack of milk, butter, prosecco and cake. Thank you

We had a fantastic two night stay at the cabin. It's well equipped with the essentials and more, great outside space, fab hot tub, fire pit and bbq. Really nice to be by the vines and to see all the wildlife close to the cabin. Graham was very communicative and responsive throughout and was able to put on a special treat for my partners birthday. I would definitely come back and stay again

From our cabin we visited The Old Vicarage Gardens in East Ruston - fantastic - so large - beautiful. Went to Lighthouse and walked on beach. Stopped on way home and bought Wagyu meat at self-service freezer - shed. Delicious. Relaxed in the wood-fired hot tub - so good.

We had a lovely stay at the Vineyard Cabin. It’s very quiet and there are outstanding views outside from the cabin. The cabin itself has everything that you need for a comfortable stay. It is near to an old railway line that has been converted to a path for nice walks.

We had a lovely stay at the vineyard cabin, which had every amenity we needed, along with a bottle of prosecco and cake in the fridge when we arrived which was a lovely surprise. The cabin was so cosy and the bed very comfy. Lots of board games and books to choose from, as well as the wood-fired hot tub which was delightful. We went on a long walk to the coast and visited the lighthouse pub for lunch. Overall it was a great stay.

Relatively close to home, easy to get to. Great location, very well appointed cabin, very quiet, very little traffic.
Great to see Deer, Stag & various bird species in the orchard/garden in the mornings. Good location to star gaze while sitting round the fire pit with a Beer.
Old Vicarage gardens well worth a visit (1 mile away) & Cross Keys Pub in Dilham (2 miles) does great beer & food at very good prices. Hornsey gap (5 miles) great place to see Seals on the beaches.

Our stay at vineyard cabin retreat was wonderful. The cabin was clean and well appointed, with everything and more we needed to make our stay wonderful.
We were in easy reach of the coast and beautiful walks. Stalham was a short walk away to a shop and pub. We unfortunately didn't have time to test the wood fired hot tub but wish we did.

A perfect long weekend! The cabin was beautiful and exactly what we needed. Graham and Collette thought of every fine detail needed to make our stay relaxing and welcoming. Thank you.

We had such a beautiful 4 night stay here. The cabin had such a lovely set up - comfortable bed, fireplace, a kitchen with everything you need including a bottle of champagne. We used the hot tub for the first 2 nights which was so lovely under the stars, just be mindful to get the temperature right with the log burner. There was a good amount of wood to start us off but we did need to buy more as we were using the fireplace as well.
Perfect place for a relaxing, cosy getaway. We mainly stayed in as it was raining a lot. We would put the fire on, drink wine and play board games (they have cards/draughts/chess etc. but we took our own). Stalham is a walkable distance along one of the walk ways with a couple of pubs/tesco.

The stay was great! We arrived Friday evening and got set up to enjoy wine and cheese under the stars. We had breakfast at the cabin and then explored Norfolk during the day. We went to a nearby pub for dinner and then enjoyed the cabin the 2nd night, sat by the fire pit and in the hot tub. Truly just a lovely lovely weekend

We had a fantastic stay for several nights, the cabin was delightful with so many wonderful touches.

We arrived to a beautiful cabin with a welcome note and all the information we needed. The hot tub was almost full so we could get on with heating it up.
We relaxed and wandered around the lovely gardens and went out for dinner nearby. We then got back and drank into the evening soaking in the tub. The next morning we soaked up the peace and quiet and made meals on the fire pit.
This was a really relaxing break in very comfortable and surroundings. We would not hesitate to book again, the beaches and scenery nearby are lovely!

Valid from 12/12/2025

Offer applies to new bookings only. Price discounts have been automatically applied unless otherwise stated.
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.

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.

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.

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.

21. Validity clause

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.

Really pretty, cosy cabin in a peaceful setting. Ideal location for lots of countryside walks, and the log burner and wood fired hot tub were perfect and really romantic to relax in. Cabin had everything in we needed andf the hosts were incredibly helpful.
