An original gypsy wagon and hand-built cabin introducing you to the wild beauty of the hills of north Wales, with a sauna and wild swimming within walking distance
The horse that pulled it for many years is no longer there, but the initials of travelling legend William Bowman on the side of the wagon testify to its august heritage. The spot it’s chosen to finally settle in is a stunning one. Carpeted by bluebells in spring, hence the name, it has amazing views all the way to Caer Drewyn, the iron age fort that you can hike over to and explore. The wagon is just your bedroom, with the cabin and two smaller structures providing lounge space, compost loo and shower. Power is all solar, but there are ports for charging phones and tablets. You can cook outdoors on the BBQ for a bit of authentic life on the road, but there’s a gas hob too, for quick cups of tea.
All around you, you’ll see the results of their hard work and deep love of their land. They have planted over 4000 trees as part of a vast rewilding project that has resulted in thriving biospheres. If you’re lucky, the resident barn owls will come out at dusk and you might even spot badgers, kingfishers and a host of other creatures around the pond as you relax in the wood-fired sauna. If you like, Sheena and Jamie can talk you through their sustainable ethos and handiwork, including the veg garden and polytunnel you’ll see from the camp and the basics of pig herding. They also run courses in everything from yoga and wellbeing to bow making and venison butchery. It’s quite likely with plenty to do at Bluebell Corner, from taking to the hammock and working through the extensive book collection to the walk up to Caer Drewyn or learning about the farm, that you’ll be happy to stay where you are for a few days. If you do fancy a day out, there’s great mountain biking at One Plant Adventure in Llandegla, white water sports at Llangollen and more peaceful pursuits like the steam railway to Carrog or the local museum that lays out the exploits of Owain Glyndwr. When you’ve worked up an appetite, ask Sheena and Jamie what’s on offer from the farm or drop into the Rhug Estate shop to pick up local produce for the BBQ.

Meet your hosts
Meet Sheena and Jamie
Jamie and Sheena both went to St Andrews University, where despite living pretty much across the road from each other in a tiny Scottish town for five years, never met until they were introduced by a mutual friend during a fishing trip.
Fast forward a few years and they are married with a family. Increasingly exhausted and disillusioned by a four-hour commute into London and living like ships in the night, Jamie and Sheena started to look for places where they could fulfil their dream of becoming more self-sufficient and raising their children in the great outdoors.
Jamie started the Wild Bushcraft Company in Hampshire in 2010 and was also looking for a more permanent site to run his courses from. In the summer of 2014, they bought Cae Einion, a tumble-down former children's petting zoo with its own iron age hill fort and views to die for.
They then began the mammoth task of turning the place into what was to become The Forge. Throughout the transformation, they have been driven by their underlying ethos and passion to be as sustainable as possible, sourcing all the building materials locally and minimising the impact of the building work on the environment.
Wildlife & the environment
Sheena and Jamie have a range of biodiversity on their land – they have a pair of nesting barn owls (who often come out and give a show at dusk!), curlews, lapwings and swallow families who nest on the land each year. Guests will likely see frogs and rabbits during their stay and if they are lucky maybe even kingfishers and badgers. The owners are developing wildflower meadows around their Iron-Age hill fort where guests can expect to see pignut, yarrow, bluebells, buttercups and cuckoo's pint.
The Forge is completely off grid in terms of electricity. They use solar power for all lighting and USB charging. They have mains water to the cabin and the showers. The site is situated on the edge of a National Landscape (it literally starts on the other side of the main road). The Snowdonia National Park is also only a 15-minute drive away.
They started their rewilding project with support and funding from the Clwydian Range National Landscape and the Woodland Trust, and which has involved planting over 4000 trees, coppicing hedgerows and introducing wildflower meadow initiatives. They also turned wetland areas into a wildlife pond for visiting wildfowl and amphibians. Jamie and Sheena are involved in a local Nature for Health project, helping people with their physical and mental wellbeing through nature.
The horse that pulled it for many years is no longer there, but the initials of travelling legend William Bowman on the side of the wagon testify to its august heritage. The spot it’s chosen to finally settle in is a stunning one.

Bluebell Corner is idyllic and everything about it brings you calm and tranquility.We cooked a lovely meal on the open firepit and chilled out all the time we were there,we saw the Barn Owl hunting twice whilst we were sat on the veranda of the quirky Chalet enjoying drinks and the quiet of the Welsh countryside.The Chalet is warm and comfortable if the weather turns,plenty of books and board games to entertain you.Decent double gas burner if you don't want to get the firepit going for a BBQ,plenty of utensils,pans etc.
The Gypsy Wagon was very quirky and comfortable,and we lazed most mornings with the top part of the door open enjoying the view and cool breeze.
Both the eco-shower and eco-friendly toilet were something new to us and a great idea.
The outdoor seating around the firepit is great with an added bonus of a hammock when it's nice weather.
A nice walk up to the Iron Age Fort on site is worthy of the great views you are rewarded with.
All in all a great stay and we felt very relaxed by the end of our 3 day break ❤️❤️

I was not aware that the car could not be driven onto field next to caravan. There was no option of a wheelbarrow or anything to carry our gear to caravan so because it was dry I drove into the field to drop off our gear. The caravan was very cute. I was not aware how high the bed would be and the very rickety metal steps to climb to get into the bed was quite tricky as the bed is a cot so have to climb over the wooden cot as well. It made it tricky at night going to toilet so if you have any disability this would not be a safe or doable option for you. Nice to have an indoor kitchen area. Great it had plumbed gas to a double gas burner. Lots of wood for the fire as well and pleased we were still allowed the fire. Utensils in kitchen were very basic. No saucepans to cook with! No jug. One teaspoon. No spatula so very hard to cook on gas burner when no saucepan. No barbecue outside either! We did cook on fire but it burnt our dinner to a cinder! I did get a good recipe idea from your website. The last morning the flies were horrendous , maybe because of heat as 30c. Compost toilet very scary lol. I thought it was way overpriced for the facilities. Great solar energy to charge phones

Response from Canopy & Stars
Hello Tracey. Thank you for taking the time to share feedback following your stay. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the caravan itself and what it had to offer. However, We are sorry that some aspects of your stay weren’t as straightforward as expected. The owner has reviewed your comments and has confirmed that wheelbarrows and assistance are available for the walk from the parking area, and that guests can drive onto the field in dry weather to unload. We’ll also be looking at how the bed access and steps are described on the listing, so guests have a clearer idea of what to expect before booking.
Apologies that some of the kitchen equipment was missing during your stay. A number of items had been moved during a retreat and unfortunately weren’t returned before your arrival. These have since been put back, and the owner would have been very happy to replace anything that was missing had she known during your stay. The barbecue is also a cooking plate which sits over the fire bowl, and we’ll make sure this is clearer in the information provided.
We’re sorry that the flies and composting toilet weren’t to your taste either, and appreciate your honest comments. We’re glad you were still able to enjoy the experience overall and hope we can welcome you back for another stay in the future!

Bluebell corner is beautiful, very relaxing and off grid. Need to make sure you have usba cable for charging and power is via solar panel, also no WiFi but good phone signal,you also only have a cool box with ice packs so will only last you 1 day. Our weekend was lovely but the pictures aren’t upto date, the cabin needs a little tlc, we couldn’t get hot however Claire managed to so must be a nack! The fire pit was awesome and cooks well. Plenty of wood and coals. The chairs around the fire pit could do with a jet wash as very mossy. Overall we had a great relaxing weekend with our dog and if you want to shut off from the world it’s the place to go

We had such a wonderful stay. On our first night we cooked steak and settled in with the outdoor fire, soaking up the peaceful surroundings and the warmth from the wood burners. Night two was all about burgers over the fire and finishing the evening with s’mores under the dark sky — simple but perfect.
The walks nearby were relaxing, even with the stormy weather rolling through. It actually made the place feel even cosier. The cabin stayed warm and comfortable throughout, and the hot shower was a real treat after being out in the elements.
Quiet, peaceful, and exactly the reset we needed. A lovely place to switch off, enjoy nature, and just breathe. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a proper escape.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Fantastic Stay – Highly Recommended
We had an incredible four-night stay at Bluebell Corner. It was truly a unique experience—peaceful, relaxing, and completely off the grid, which was exactly what we needed to disconnect from the busy city life.
The owners were absolutely wonderful—very friendly, kind, and genuinely welcoming. They made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived.
The accommodation itself was super cozy and thoughtfully set up. Everything about the stay felt calm and special. There is also so much to explore in the surrounding area—beautiful waterfalls, scenic walking routes, and even a stunning lake just a short drive away (around 15–45 minutes depending on where you go). Definitely worth exploring!
We had such a lovely time and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in nature.
We will definitely be coming back again!

We booked this little break to celebrate our 20th anniversary and get some well needed downtime. It was perfect! We loved every minute weather it was chilling at the cabin or exploring the local area. The wagon as really comfy. The cabin had everything you need. Compost loo and shower were fab! And the campfire made our nights perfect. Will definitely be back!

A wonderfully cosy stay despite wet and chilly weather. We explored local woods and waterfalls in the day and had long cosy evenings in front of the fire. Blankets and hot water bottles plus a luxury mattress and duvet meant we were warm and snug all night in the wagon. It was a beautiful retreat with everything we needed to be comfortable but also off grid enough to switch off.

We stayed for two nights and went right back to nature, cooking every meal on the fire pit and roaming the surrounding countryside.

It was a beautiful gypsy caravan and very cosy, extra blankets and hot water bottles were very much appreciated as unfortunately our trip coincided with storm Kathleen! All the cooking appliances and equipment needed were there, everything was very well thought out to make the glamping experience as easy as possible. The extra space and woodburner in the cabin was great for drying out all our clothes from a rainy walk. They also have lots of recommendations for things to do and places to eat nearby which was really useful. The 4G was also decent.

I had a delightful stay at Bluebell Corner. The weather was wet and rainy but I took this opportunity to keep myself cosy inside the caravan with the wood burner on. I made myself a hot drink and immersed myself in the caravan style reading my book with the torch provided while appreciating the cracking sound of the wood burning and keeping me nice and warm.

Staying at Bluebell Corner was peaceful, quirky and we felt so relaxed. The position of the accommodation was just perfect set amongst the meadow. We really enjoyed our stay at the forge and the charm of a vintage gypsy caravan to sleep in was so unique and cosy, I don't think we'd ever forget this little get break in the countryside.

We had a lovely stay at Bluebell Corner. The facilities are amazing and everything was very cosy even in late February! Great location for exploring other places nearby (Llyn Brenig, Snowdon, and Conwy). Sheena couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating, and we were especially grateful for the delicious fresh eggs.

We stayed in the gypsy caravan for 3 nights the place was lovely and peaceful as it was the end of season so we had it to ourselves. The gypsy wagon itself was lovely and unique to stay in, unfortunately not the most comfy bed I have ever slept in. Luckily you also get use of a cabin which we spent most our time in.

Amazing,lovely friendly owners,well stocked with tea,coffee etc. We had barn owls literally 20 feet from us,watched a pair of buzzards overhead,saw baby hedgehogs. Great to see the grass growing wild for the insects to enjoy. Weather wasn't a warm as it had been but the little shed with kitchen,seating and fire was more than adequate. Matches,firelighters + first bag of logs included. Our dog loved it, plenty of grass to roll on. Great nature walk at corwen, Llangollen not far away. Horseshoe pass,bala,ruthin all visited while here for three days. Will definitely be back but probably with our grandchildren in one of the tents. Bluebell corner is lovely and private. The gypsy caravan was very comfy to sleep in and we slept better here than we have at home for weeks. All being solar charged lights the sky at night when clear was brilliant to see.

Fantastic weekend away for a birthday! Friendly welcome from Jamie. Even saw the barn owl as we were being shown around the pitch. Was a much needed break away from everything. Cannot wait to come back!

We stayed at Bluebell Corner for two nights. Our host Lewis met us on arrival and was very welcoming and informative. We were shown around our site and we instantly had the Wow factor. The cabin was so cosy with everything thing we needed for our stay including milk, tea and coffee, cooler box and ice. The caravan is so gorgeous and cosy to sleep in. We had the most relaxing break and would definitely return in the future.

Warm welcome from Ed who ran through all the stuff we needed to know about the Romany caravan, cabin etc. Caravan really comfy and snug, double bed plenty of space. Cabin very cosy, great wood burner, we'd ordered breakfast hamper which was great, really tasty high quality local produce. Great to sit out at the firepit with barn owls hunting as light faded. A million star hotel - sky is so clear it was amazing, easy to forget how much light pollution there is in our built up areas. We walked to Caer Drewyn Hillfort, more great views, Red Kites a real treat. There is so much space on this site it also has its own hillfort. We also enjoyed table tennis in a games room when rain showers came in. On our second evening we drove to Corwen where we had a fantastic evening at the 'Old Wives Tales' restaurant. Superb food and entertainment from Ruis who treated us to some guitar tunes, highly recommended. A short break but the chill out lasted for days, very much look forward to staying here again

Beautiful peaceful location and the caravan & shed were lovely, really well equipped. The owners were helpful but unobtrusive. The fresh wildflowers in bottles were a nice touch. The shower was broken when we arrived but was replaced whilst we were out on Sunday and we were offered some free sacks of wood in recompense and we could use the shower in the bell tent field, so really, no problem at all, it was handled well. The barn owls were an added bonus! Really lovely relaxing stay.

Bluebell Corner is idyllic and everything about it brings you calm and tranquility.We cooked a lovely meal on the open firepit and chilled out all the time we were there,we saw the Barn Owl hunting twice whilst we were sat on the veranda of the quirky Chalet enjoying drinks and the quiet of the Welsh countryside.The Chalet is warm and comfortable if the weather turns,plenty of books and board games to entertain you.Decent double gas burner if you don't want to get the firepit going for a BBQ,plenty of utensils,pans etc.
The Gypsy Wagon was very quirky and comfortable,and we lazed most mornings with the top part of the door open enjoying the view and cool breeze.
Both the eco-shower and eco-friendly toilet were something new to us and a great idea.
The outdoor seating around the firepit is great with an added bonus of a hammock when it's nice weather.
A nice walk up to the Iron Age Fort on site is worthy of the great views you are rewarded with.
All in all a great stay and we felt very relaxed by the end of our 3 day break ❤️❤️

I was not aware that the car could not be driven onto field next to caravan. There was no option of a wheelbarrow or anything to carry our gear to caravan so because it was dry I drove into the field to drop off our gear. The caravan was very cute. I was not aware how high the bed would be and the very rickety metal steps to climb to get into the bed was quite tricky as the bed is a cot so have to climb over the wooden cot as well. It made it tricky at night going to toilet so if you have any disability this would not be a safe or doable option for you. Nice to have an indoor kitchen area. Great it had plumbed gas to a double gas burner. Lots of wood for the fire as well and pleased we were still allowed the fire. Utensils in kitchen were very basic. No saucepans to cook with! No jug. One teaspoon. No spatula so very hard to cook on gas burner when no saucepan. No barbecue outside either! We did cook on fire but it burnt our dinner to a cinder! I did get a good recipe idea from your website. The last morning the flies were horrendous , maybe because of heat as 30c. Compost toilet very scary lol. I thought it was way overpriced for the facilities. Great solar energy to charge phones

Response from Canopy & Stars
Hello Tracey. Thank you for taking the time to share feedback following your stay. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the caravan itself and what it had to offer. However, We are sorry that some aspects of your stay weren’t as straightforward as expected. The owner has reviewed your comments and has confirmed that wheelbarrows and assistance are available for the walk from the parking area, and that guests can drive onto the field in dry weather to unload. We’ll also be looking at how the bed access and steps are described on the listing, so guests have a clearer idea of what to expect before booking.
Apologies that some of the kitchen equipment was missing during your stay. A number of items had been moved during a retreat and unfortunately weren’t returned before your arrival. These have since been put back, and the owner would have been very happy to replace anything that was missing had she known during your stay. The barbecue is also a cooking plate which sits over the fire bowl, and we’ll make sure this is clearer in the information provided.
We’re sorry that the flies and composting toilet weren’t to your taste either, and appreciate your honest comments. We’re glad you were still able to enjoy the experience overall and hope we can welcome you back for another stay in the future!

Bluebell corner is beautiful, very relaxing and off grid. Need to make sure you have usba cable for charging and power is via solar panel, also no WiFi but good phone signal,you also only have a cool box with ice packs so will only last you 1 day. Our weekend was lovely but the pictures aren’t upto date, the cabin needs a little tlc, we couldn’t get hot however Claire managed to so must be a nack! The fire pit was awesome and cooks well. Plenty of wood and coals. The chairs around the fire pit could do with a jet wash as very mossy. Overall we had a great relaxing weekend with our dog and if you want to shut off from the world it’s the place to go

We had such a wonderful stay. On our first night we cooked steak and settled in with the outdoor fire, soaking up the peaceful surroundings and the warmth from the wood burners. Night two was all about burgers over the fire and finishing the evening with s’mores under the dark sky — simple but perfect.
The walks nearby were relaxing, even with the stormy weather rolling through. It actually made the place feel even cosier. The cabin stayed warm and comfortable throughout, and the hot shower was a real treat after being out in the elements.
Quiet, peaceful, and exactly the reset we needed. A lovely place to switch off, enjoy nature, and just breathe. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a proper escape.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Fantastic Stay – Highly Recommended
We had an incredible four-night stay at Bluebell Corner. It was truly a unique experience—peaceful, relaxing, and completely off the grid, which was exactly what we needed to disconnect from the busy city life.
The owners were absolutely wonderful—very friendly, kind, and genuinely welcoming. They made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived.
The accommodation itself was super cozy and thoughtfully set up. Everything about the stay felt calm and special. There is also so much to explore in the surrounding area—beautiful waterfalls, scenic walking routes, and even a stunning lake just a short drive away (around 15–45 minutes depending on where you go). Definitely worth exploring!
We had such a lovely time and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in nature.
We will definitely be coming back again!

We booked this little break to celebrate our 20th anniversary and get some well needed downtime. It was perfect! We loved every minute weather it was chilling at the cabin or exploring the local area. The wagon as really comfy. The cabin had everything you need. Compost loo and shower were fab! And the campfire made our nights perfect. Will definitely be back!

A wonderfully cosy stay despite wet and chilly weather. We explored local woods and waterfalls in the day and had long cosy evenings in front of the fire. Blankets and hot water bottles plus a luxury mattress and duvet meant we were warm and snug all night in the wagon. It was a beautiful retreat with everything we needed to be comfortable but also off grid enough to switch off.

We stayed for two nights and went right back to nature, cooking every meal on the fire pit and roaming the surrounding countryside.

It was a beautiful gypsy caravan and very cosy, extra blankets and hot water bottles were very much appreciated as unfortunately our trip coincided with storm Kathleen! All the cooking appliances and equipment needed were there, everything was very well thought out to make the glamping experience as easy as possible. The extra space and woodburner in the cabin was great for drying out all our clothes from a rainy walk. They also have lots of recommendations for things to do and places to eat nearby which was really useful. The 4G was also decent.

I had a delightful stay at Bluebell Corner. The weather was wet and rainy but I took this opportunity to keep myself cosy inside the caravan with the wood burner on. I made myself a hot drink and immersed myself in the caravan style reading my book with the torch provided while appreciating the cracking sound of the wood burning and keeping me nice and warm.

Staying at Bluebell Corner was peaceful, quirky and we felt so relaxed. The position of the accommodation was just perfect set amongst the meadow. We really enjoyed our stay at the forge and the charm of a vintage gypsy caravan to sleep in was so unique and cosy, I don't think we'd ever forget this little get break in the countryside.

We had a lovely stay at Bluebell Corner. The facilities are amazing and everything was very cosy even in late February! Great location for exploring other places nearby (Llyn Brenig, Snowdon, and Conwy). Sheena couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating, and we were especially grateful for the delicious fresh eggs.

We stayed in the gypsy caravan for 3 nights the place was lovely and peaceful as it was the end of season so we had it to ourselves. The gypsy wagon itself was lovely and unique to stay in, unfortunately not the most comfy bed I have ever slept in. Luckily you also get use of a cabin which we spent most our time in.

Amazing,lovely friendly owners,well stocked with tea,coffee etc. We had barn owls literally 20 feet from us,watched a pair of buzzards overhead,saw baby hedgehogs. Great to see the grass growing wild for the insects to enjoy. Weather wasn't a warm as it had been but the little shed with kitchen,seating and fire was more than adequate. Matches,firelighters + first bag of logs included. Our dog loved it, plenty of grass to roll on. Great nature walk at corwen, Llangollen not far away.

Fabulous; beautiful location, well thought out accommodation and great hosts!
Book with us in confidence knowing you won’t find that place cheaper elsewhere. All of the prices we display are set and matched by our Owners. (In this world of foreign currency, we do have to say 'subject to exchange rates' for some of our European places.)
What does ‘from price’ mean?
Our ‘from price’ is based on a four night stay in low season and designed to help you to compare different prices across our collection. Some of our Owners vary their nightly rates and check in days throughout the year, so it may differ from the rate quoted below the calendar. It is quite common (although by no means universal) for places to charge a little more in peak season or for shorter stays, to cover changeover costs. Consider booking longer stays during the cooler months if you’re looking for the lowest nightly rates.
Agency Terms & Conditions
Except where otherwise specified, we Sawday’s Canopy & Stars Ltd (Company No 09088366) of Merchants House, Wapping Road, Bristol, BS1 4RW act only as an Agent in respect of all bookings we take and/or make on your behalf.

We help to arrange reservations and bookings between you and the Owner and take payments from you on behalf of the Owner.
We are only arranging a contract between you and the Owner for hire of the Property and for any other services or arrangement you purchase from the Owner (the “Booking”). This means the legal contract for the Booking is between you and the Owner despite the fact that a payment for the Booking has been made to the Agent. Your contract for the Booking is not with Sawday’s Canopy & Stars Ltd (Canopy & Stars).
Canopy & Stars is part of the Sawday’s family of companies, a majority employee owned business, 24% owned by a charitable trust and a B Corp.

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;

1. Booking and payments
1.1 In order to confirm your chosen Booking, you must pay a 25% non-refundable deposit as required (or full payment if booking within 10 weeks of the date of your check-in). The deposit is non-refundable as it covers costs incurred and services provided to enable your Booking. These include, but are not limited to, marketing and PR, property inspection fees, Owner management, booking management, credit card fees and customer service.
1.2 Your Booking is confirmed and a contract between you and the Owner will exist when we receive payment of the deposit and send you a booking confirmation on the Owner’s behalf. This Booking confirmation email will be sent within 24 hours and will contain the details of your Booking and of payments made and due. If you have not received your Booking confirmation email within the specified time, please notify us as soon as possible by email (bookings@canopyandstars.co.uk). Please check your confirmation carefully and report any incorrect or incomplete information to us immediately. As we act only as booking Agent, we have no responsibility for any errors in any documentation except where an error is made by us.
1.3 Once the 25% deposit has been paid, the full balance payment will be due 10 weeks in advance of your check in. A reminder to pay your balance will be sent to you one week prior to this 10 week date, where applicable, by email. We automatically take the balance payment using the same card as used to make the deposit payment. It is your responsibility to advise us if we should use a different card and to contact us by telephone (0117 204 7830) to arrange for alternative payment method. If the automated balance payment does not successfully go through as there is a problem with your card, such as it is expiring, then we will contact you to try and take alternative payment. If you do not make any payment due to Canopy & Stars by the due date for payment and at the latest within 5 days of this date, then with regret, we will notify the Owner who will cancel your Booking and terminate their contract with you. In these circumstances, your rights to a refund are set out in clause 2.3 and 2.4 below. Please note that if you have paid in a currency that is different to the original pricing, we will not be able to guarantee the same conversion rate that was used to convert the deposit payment.
1.4 Except where otherwise advised or stated in the booking conditions of the Owner concerned, all monies you pay to us for a Booking will be held on behalf of the Owner(s) concerned.
1.5 Credit Card payments are processed via Elavon who provide merchants services facilities to Sawday’s Canopy & Stars Ltd.
2. Cancellation by You
2.1 If you have to, or want to cancel or amend your Booking, this request must be sent to us by email (bookings@canopyandstars.co.uk) and will be considered and responded to within two working days of receipt. Please ensure that you have received written confirmation of any changes to your Booking prior to travel. Whilst we will always try to help, we cannot guarantee that such requests will be met.
2.2 Cancellation by you at any time will result in your 25% deposit being forfeited. The deposit is always non-refundable as it covers costs incurred and services provided to enable your Booking.
2.3 All bookings are non-amendable and non-refundable within 10 weeks of your check in date. If you need to cancel your booking within 10 weeks, the total cost of the accommodation including the deposit will be forfeited. Cancellation should always be in writing to bookings@canopyandstars.co.uk.
2.4 If you need to cancel your booking at a date 10 weeks or more in advance of your check in date, the 25% deposit will be forfeited. If the booking has been paid in full the balance will be returned to you, minus the 25% deposit. Refunds will be issued in the same form and ratio as the original payment was made. Therefore, if a Gift Voucher was used to book your stay, the refund will be back onto a new Gift Voucher at the same amount as originally used. Alternatively, if you paid in cash, your refund will be processed in the currency of the booking. Where this is different to the currency of the payment card, this will be converted at the current exchange rate on the day of the refund.
2.5 Cancellations made by you, at any time, may incur a £50 administration fee in addition to us retaining the non-refundable deposit. This represents the administration costs incurred by us on behalf of the Owner to deal with such requests.
2.6 If extreme weather prevents you from reaching your holiday, taking, or finishing your holiday, you are still subject to these cancellation terms as outlined in clause 2.3 above. We strongly recommend that you take out a travel insurance policy which covers this eventuality. In the event of the property becoming unavailable (such as due to fire or flooding), Canopy & Stars will endeavour to provide the Guest with suitable alternative accommodation, starting with any other accommodation that may be available with the same Owner of your Booking, or will refund all monies paid, or a proportion in the case of curtailment. The Agency cannot, however, pay any compensation or expenses as a consequence of such an event.
2.7 Cancellation insurance is available to purchase from many providers, but will be a third-party arrangement and not involve Canopy & Stars or the Owner in any way. You are strongly recommended to take out personal travel insurance for all members of your party for UK holidays and you must take out personal travel insurance for international holidays, including for illness and cancellation due to Covid-19. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover is adequate for your needs, including cancellation and curtailment.
2.8 If you fail to check-in on your date of arrival your Booking will be cancelled and no refund will be due.
3. Amendments to your booking, requested by you
3.1 Amendments to your Booking can only be made more than 10 weeks prior to the check in date, after which time amendments may be treated as cancellation and our refund policy as detailed in clause 2.3 above may apply. All amendments are subject to availability and may incur a £50 admin fee detailed in clause 2.5 above.
3.2 If we can fulfil your request to amend your booking, any differences in price as a result of the amendment, will be paid by you in the case of an increase and refunded to you in the case of a decrease in price, e.g. amending your booking from low season to high season.
3.3 In the event that a date swap is offered, this will normally be agreed with a set timeframe to rebook and sometimes a credit against a future stay will be offered. The credit can only apply to a stay at the same space as originally booked.
3.3.1 If a date swap is offered, then the Agency Booking Terms and Conditions applied at the time of your original booking will still apply. Therefore, if your date was swapped within 10 weeks of the original check in date, the 10 week cancellation policy set out in clause 2.3 applies to your new stay, even if the new check in date is beyond 10 weeks.
4. Refunds
If a refund is issued it will be in the same form and ratio as the original payment was made. Therefore, if a Gift Voucher was used to purchase the original stay, the refund will be back onto a new Gift Voucher at the same amount as originally used.
5. Insurance
You are strongly recommended to take out personal travel insurance for all members of your party for your holiday, including holidays in the UK. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover is adequate for your needs, including cancellation and curtailment for any reason. Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on holiday.
6. Changes and Cancellations by the Owner
We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if the Owner needs to make a significant change to your confirmed Booking or to cancel your Booking. We will also liaise between you and the Owner to try and organise an alternative Booking offered by the Owner, or a refund but we will have no further liability to you.
7. Cancellations due to events outside of Owner’s control
An Owner may have to cancel a booking due to events outside of their reasonable control (see clause 22). In such circumstances, we will liaise between you and the Owner to try and organise an any alternative Booking offered by the Owner, or a refund but we will have no further liability to you.
8. Complaints & Procedure
We always aim to provide the best possible holiday experience, however, if you have any complaint or problems during your stay, please immediately notify the Owner during the stay itself, so that the Owner has the opportunity to resolve the problem at the time. If you do not follow this procedure, there will be less opportunity for the Owner to investigate and resolve your complaint and to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Delays may also mean that the amount of compensation you may be entitled to, may be reduced or negated.
Whether or not your complaint is dealt with satisfactorily, please also let us know of the problem as soon as possible by emailing info@canopyandstars.co.uk. We will aim to respond within 1 working day to acknowledge your email. We will then review your feedback and investigate the complaint. This may involve discussing your concerns with the owner, revising the website listing for inaccuracies, and reviewing previous guest feedback and internal inspection notes. This process can take time to complete, so please allow approx. 7 working days for a final response.
We also welcome you to fill in our feedback survey which will be sent to you via email the day after you check out. It is important for us to gather as much information as possible about the experiences our guests are having. This is what helps us support our Owner in fulfilling their potential and identifying if anything could be improved.
9. Our Responsibility for your Booking
Your contract is with the Owner and its booking conditions apply. As Agent, we accept no responsibility for the actual provision of the Booking. Our responsibilities are limited to making the Booking in accordance with your instructions and acting properly in accordance with our legal duties as an Agent. We accept no responsibility for any information about the Booking that we pass on to you in good faith. However, in the event that we are found liable to you on any basis whatsoever, our maximum liability to you is limited to twice the cost of your Booking (or the appropriate proportion of this if not everyone on the Booking is affected). We do not exclude or limit any liability for death or personal injury that arises as a result of our negligence or that of any of our employees whilst acting in the course of their employment.
10. Your Responsibilities
10.1 Please note that you have a contract with the Owner of the property. As such you are under a responsibility to behave in a proper, appropriate and legal manner whilst staying at the property with due respect to the Owner, the Property and other guests and their Property.
10.2 You are responsible for informing the Owner of any losses or damage to the property as soon as possible. Please note that you will be liable to pay the Owner for any losses or damage to the property caused by you or a member of your party (except reasonable wear and tear). Some Owners may also require a damage deposit. If so, this information will be provided on the website place page under ‘essentials’.
10.3 You must also leave the property by the check-out time specified on your Booking. If any guest behaves inappropriately or improperly (of which the Owner will be the final judge on their Property), or illegally, the Owner reserves the right to ask the guest and their party (at their discretion) to leave the Property before the end of the holiday period and/or refuse any future bookings from you. Please note that this would be without the right to any refund.
11. Pets
11.1 Not all properties accept pets. If you wish to take your pet on holiday, please advise us before booking and we can check whether pets are accepted at the property. You must obtain the prior consent of the Owner before taking any pets to the property. If you take a pet to a place that doesn’t allow pets, or you exceed the number of pets allowed at a place, the Owner has the right to refuse you to stay at the Property, and/or they may ask you to leave the Property before the end of the holiday period. Please note that this would be without the right to any refund.
11.2 A nightly charge may be made by the Owner for each pet and additional terms may apply, you will be notified of this at point of Booking. Please check these terms carefully before booking and arriving.
11.3 Please do not leave your pets alone or unsupervised in the property at any time during your stay. For the safety and comfort of your pet we request that Owners exercise due diligence at all times, especially where the property is located near a road/livestock. Canopy & Stars nor the Owner can accept responsibility for the safety of your pet.
11.4 If any guest has an allergy to pets, please be aware that Owners (and we) cannot guarantee that a pet has not stayed in a particular Property. We and Owners cannot accept responsibility for any suffering which may occur as a result of such animals having been present in a property.
11.5 We ask that all owners of pets keep their pet under control at all times and to be responsible for ensuring that they do not damage the Property, livestock or vegetation during the stay. You will be liable for any damage caused by your pet. Any damage is to be reported to the Owner immediately. Any additional cleaning required, that may incur an additional charge, will be at the Owner's discretion.
12. Special requests
If you have any special requests (for example dietary requirements, allergy, cots or room location), please let us know at the time of booking. We will pass on all such requests to the Owner, but unfortunately, we can't guarantee that they will be met and we will have no liability to you if they are not.
13. Maximum Numbers
Please note that except by prior arrangement confirmed in writing, only the number of persons specified on a booking confirmation may occupy a property. Most owners reserve the right to refuse admittance or revoke a Booking if this condition is not observed and you are unlikely to receive any refund.
13.1 The Owner reserves the right to sue the guest for any loss, damage or injury caused to the Owner, the Property or to other guests and/or their property. As Agent, we will have no liability to you in these circumstances.
13.2 The Owner only supplies the Property for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the Property for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose, and the Owner has no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity. If you do wish to use the Property for a commercial purpose, you must contact Canopy & Stars prior to confirming your booking.
14. Group Bookings
Not all Owners accept Bookings for a single sex group (for example, a stag or hen party). Guests wanting to make such a Booking should check with us beforehand to enable us to check whether the Owner is prepared to accept the Booking. We will then advise you accordingly. In event that an Owner does not accept this type of Booking then it is with regret, that the Booking may be cancelled, and cancellation fees may apply. It is the Guest’s responsibility to enquire with Canopy & Stars and/or check on our website beforehand to make sure that this type of Booking is permitted.
15. Pricing
15.1 Canopy & Stars reserve the right to amend advertised prices at any time on behalf of the Owner. We also reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. Special note: changes and errors sometimes occur.
15.2 Rates are set per place in the currency specified by the Owner. Where this has been converted into the currency of your preference, until the payment stage this will be an estimation only, based on a recent exchange rate. The original rate will be displayed before you confirm your payment and you will be given the option of paying in your own currency at our guaranteed rate, or paying in your own currency and leaving the conversion and any associated fees to your card provider.
16. Information & Accuracy
The information and prices shown on this website are varied from time to time and may change between the time you first view a property and make a Booking. You should check that all the details are as you expect prior to making a Booking. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the properties (including the features and extras available) may be incorrectly described and/or priced. If we discover this is the case after you have made a Booking, we reserve the right to contact you with details of the correct information and/or pricing and will give you the option to:
(1) proceed with the Booking based on the correct information and/or pricing, which may require the payment of an additional amount by you
OR
(2) subject to availability, change your booking dates to dates when the pricing can be honoured and so no additional charge to you. In the event that a lower price can be offered for alternative dates then the difference would be refunded
OR
(3) cancel the Booking. If we do not receive your instructions within 5 days of contacting you, we reserve the right to cancel your Booking without liability to you.
17. VAT
Many of the Owners of properties in the Canopy & Stars portfolio are not registered for VAT in which case no tax is payable. Where VAT is payable, the tax is included in the advertised holiday rental price. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of the Booking and the date of the stay, Canopy & Stars may adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Booking in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
18. Visa, passport and health requirements
Unless you tell us otherwise, we assume that all members of your party are British citizens who hold or will hold full British passports valid for the entire duration of the international Booking. Information on visa, passport and health requirements, where given and applicable, is so given on this basis. Requirements may change and you are therefore strongly recommended to check the up to date position with the Owner of the Booking, Passport Office, appropriate embassy or consulate or your doctor as applicable in good time before the commencement of your holiday. Prior to international travel it is your responsibility to check whether it is safe to travel by visiting the FCO website www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice.

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. 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.

Bluebell Corner is idyllic and everything about it brings you calm and tranquility.We cooked a lovely meal on the open firepit and chilled out all the time we were there,we saw the Barn Owl hunting twice whilst we were sat on the veranda of the quirky Chalet enjoying drinks and the quiet of the Welsh countryside.The Chalet is warm and comfortable if the weather turns,plenty of books and board games to entertain you.Decent double gas burner if you don't want to get the firepit going for a BBQ,plenty of utensils,pans etc. The Gypsy Wagon was very quirky and comfortable,and we lazed most mornings with the top part of the door open enjoying the view and cool breeze. Both the eco-shower and eco-friendly toilet were something new to us and a great idea. The outdoor seating around the firepit is great with an added bonus of a hammock when it's nice weather. A nice walk up to the Iron Age Fort on site is worthy of the great views you are rewarded with. All in all a great stay and we felt very relaxed by the end of our 3 day break ❤️❤️
