Nick's course gave me the confidence to make a piece of furniture from start to finish using joints that I did not think I was capable of making.

With Nick's patient tuition I learned which tools to use, how to use them correctly and safely and how to look after them.

We have two beautiful holiday getaways available at The Brake.  Owing to the craftsmanship and creativity in building them they each have their own unique character and quality.  They nestle privately within our 2/3 of an acre plot of land and offer the chance to relax in a hot tub or unwind in a sauna. Take a look at our Cabins page to learn more and to book your stay with us here at The Brake.
