Overview
In a leafy corner of Devon, down a winding path through the shrubs round the back of owners Nick & Dolly’s house, is the soothing space of Jake’s Place. It’s the sort of place, all soft wood, openness and light, that makes you instantly kick off your shoes and walk around barefoot. You can easily spend your time here idling in the main space, with the wood burner, the sofa and a good book on the go. There is a separate double bedroom with views to the sea from your bed, and a bunk room off the open plan kitchen dining area. Outside on the deck you’ll find the bbq and across the garden is your private wood-fired sauna, to ease any tension the calming cabin and the big bathtub haven’t already worked their magic on.
The whole space is decorated with colour, flair and the souvenirs of Nick and Dolly’s extensive travels. They’re close by if you need local tips or have any questions, but will leave you to settle into the peaceful spot with nothing more than a possible visit from the cat. They can also arrange courses in art or woodwork, or join your neighbours from Jackson's Cabin on a Monday in summer and use the outdoor cob oven to make smoky pizzas. Further afield you’ll find miles of coastal paths and trails through stunning Dartmoor, as well as great surfing at Bantham beach, quiet sands at the less accessible Lannacombe and wonderful views at Mattiscombe. If you’ve worked up an appetite and the pizza oven or bbq don’t tempt you, then take your pick of the many local pubs and restaurants serving everything from fine cuisine to simple, hearty food by the fireside.

Getting there
The Brake, Wadstray, Blackawton, Totnes, Devon TQ9 7DE
By bus
The nearest bus station is Totnes. The nearest bus stop is Woodlands Leisure Centre a ¼ of a mile away from which pick ups are free of charge if arranged in advance.
By train
The nearest train station is Totnes which is approx. a 15/20 minute drive away. Pick ups can be arranged in advance at a charge of £10.
By car
Take the A38 south from Exeter, or north from Plymouth. Then take the A384 exit toward A381 - Buckfastleigh / Totnes / Dartmouth / Kingsbridge. Turn left on to the A384. At the roundabout in Dartington, take the 1st exit onto A385. At the first set of traffic lights turn right on to the A381, signed to Dartmouth. Follow this road for 6 miles. At the petrol station turn left on to the A3122, signed to Dartmouth. Drive past Woodlands Leisure Park and Dartmouth Country Club and the turning for Strete, Torcross and Blackawton - DO NOT TAKE THIS TURNING! Our driveway is the next (sharp!) turning on the right into the woods, so take it slow once you've passed the Strete/Torcross/Blackawton turning, especially as the entrance is also quite steep. Each space has a designated parking space and it's not far to walk to Jackson's Cabin and Jake's Place from here.
Food & Drink
At The Brake
Both spaces at The Brake are self-catering though a Riverford box – organic vegetable, fruit or meat or all three with their organic milk – can be arranged, at an extra cost.
The Bakehouse currently holds a pizza night every Monday from 6pm during the summer only where all guests can gather around the fire and table, make pizzas together, share stories and get to know one another. All you need to bring is a bottle of something to drink, Nick and Dolly will provide the rest.
Shops
Garden Time Nursery, a quarter of a mile away, has a farm shop for basics but it is not safe to walk along the main road to get there so stop off on your way! Otherwise there are supermarkets in Dartmouth, about a 10-minute drive away.

Activities
Outdoors & active
Jackson's Cabin and Jake's Place have many great walks nearby. There are no walks from the door, but just 5 minutes by car will take you to fantastic locations with many miles of footpaths to explore. You're also very well placed indeed for beaches, from those suitable for surfing – Bantham Beach is 20 mins away – to those reserved for determined walkers who arrive on foot – Lannacombe is rugged and unspoilt, Mattiscombe has tremendous views. Blackpool Sands is popular with families - perhaps because of its organic café-restaurant and a beach shop that doesn't miss a trick. You’ll find keen fishermen down on Slapton Bay frequently and barbecues on the shore. As well as miles of coastal walks, Dartmoor, one of the most stunning parts of England, is just 40 minutes away. The River Dart Country Park is great for outdoor pursuits from rock climbing to kayaking. For those looking to do some serious climbing on the moors you can get in touch with the Rock Centre in Newton Abbot for lessons and advice. And for those who enjoy a bit of golf the Dartmouth Golf and Country Club is close. Or why not view Dartmoor from an epic zip wire or leap off a Tarzan Swing at Go Ape! Haldon Forest?
Places to visit
The South Hams is riddled with interesting little villages and fun days out. Here are just a few ideas of very individual, and beautiful, places to visit...
Totnes, a beautiful bohemian medieval market town
Dartmouth, on the edge of the river Dart estuary
Kingsbridge, a small fishing town on the river Avon
Kingswear, a stunning town opposite Dartmouth on the Dart estuary
Dittisham, a quaint village and idyllic haven on the river Dart
Rainy days
We know there are sometimes days when looks a bit grey out. So we suggest...
Woodlands Leisure Centre
Swimming at Dartmouth Golf and Country ClubPaignton Zoo
Arranging some art time in the studio or workshop
Arranging a cooking day in the cob kitchen
Courses & classes
You can learn a lot from a stay at The Brake. There is the opportunity to book a Creative Being program that incorporates all the different opportunities for learning provided by this small plot of land.Nick & Dolly will be running various courses and classes throughout the season – please enquire for details. Dolly says, "The foundation upon which we are creating our programs is the awareness that it is our hands that connect and allow us to express the natural creativity innate within us all. We will be facilitating these through the use of the studio, the workshop, the cob oven, the garden and, of course, nature." 'Make at The Brake' Days – suitable for 2 people or a family of 3-4 (min 8 years old) Spend some time in The Workshop with experienced wood-smith Nick making your own personal knife or a simple greenwood stool. Greenwood involves creating a piece from the raw materials of branches or logs. If art's more your thing then try out The Studio with Dolly exploring mark making using a variety of art materials, instruments and techniques to create a series of abstract paintings and/or cards. Half day finishing at lunchtime is £80, a whole day is £200 which includes lunch (prices are for the whole family/group). You might want to mix things up and spend half a day in The Workshop and half a day in The Studio. Just ask Nick and Dolly for more info and to book.
Meet your hosts
Nick, an experienced wood-smith, and Dolly, an artist, are resourceful and inspirational, living their ideal existence at their own pace here in the woods. Nick has been a furniture designer/maker for the last 25 years. He has always dried his own wood in his woodshed and uses local hardwoods and naturally fallen trees wherever possible. He built the cabin himself, and fitted out the interior using reclaimed wood, and artefacts from Mexico such as the copper sink in the bathroom.
He uses traditional and green woodworking skills to help and teach people to create their own furniture in his fully fitted workshop.Dolly paints portraits and landscapes. She is also a cook, and cooks and facilitates on the core programs at Embercombe, a centre for environmental change and inspiration outside Exeter. She runs workshops from her studio known as The Creative Being Workshops which are central to the programs that she and Nick are developing (see Courses & Classes on the 'Activities' tab).
They used to live in Mexico, where two of their three children were born, and developed a love of the land, and of working with their hands, that planted the dream to one day have a patch of earth to call their own. Now they do, and seem determined to make the most of it! Nick is a carpentry expert and has his own green woodworking workshop in a glade in the wood. They weave trips to the wood-fired sauna and the baking of their own bread, and plenty of laughter and conversation seamlessly into their daily life. They say, "Small, Slow and Simple is the basis of everything we do," but in this they're too modest.
There are big ideas here at The Brake, and they seem to lead to huge satisfaction and contentment, miles away from all the dashing about that's far too common in the modern world. The core of The Brake is the original 1909 bungalow, which Nick & Dolly have extended and embellished, while trying to remain true to it in style. Around it an apple orchard has grown up, a pond teeming with life has been dug, and the beech trees which surround it seem to protect it from any outside interference.
Wildlife & environment
The Brake is on the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Views look out towards Start Point Lighthouse and the sea. There is also a vegetable garden – help with this is always welcome!
Our guests say...
Jakes place was wonderful. The location was ideally suited to explore Devon. The views across the South Hams fields were stunning, made all the better as the sun streamed in through the windows onto the kitchen table in the morning. The accommodation itself was immaculately presented with comfortable beds and a cosy wood burner.
21/02/2019Peter
We spent a lovely weekend relaxing in this beautiful, cosy cabin. The decor is gorgeous and reflects Nick and Dolly's travels and lifestyle. The views are fantastic and we loved waking up, making a cuppa and taking in the views from the comfy bed. The sauna is also a big bonus and a great way to relax after a busy day - we explored Totnes in the day and had dinner in Dartmouth. Nick, Dolly and family were so friendly and there to help with any questions or queries we had - thank you for a wonderful weekend!
15/02/2019Jennie
Such a relaxing place to stay for a romantic weekend. Although it's big enough for 4, it's cosy enough for 2. Sauna was a real bonus, as was the tour of the wood workshop and seeing Tom the cat.
08/02/2019DANIEL
Wonderful, wonderful few days in this cosy place. Great for exploring the area and for resting up and just looking at the view. We loved it.
01/01/2019Allegra
We had the most blissful half-term break, helped by unseasonably wonderful weather! The cabin couldn't have been more perfect and the views from the end of the garden to the sea were spectacular - this is definitely the place to sit with a drink as the sun goes down. There's so much to do in the area and then, of course, you get to come home to your snug cabin and fabulous sauna. We loved every minute and couldn't have asked for anything more.

Booking Terms
Canopy & Stars low price promise
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. Sawday’s Canopy & Stars is part of the Alastair Sawday’s Group of Companies. We accept no liability in relation to any contract you enter into or for any services or arrangements you purchase (“Booking(s)”) or for the acts or omissions of any supplier(s) or other person(s) or party(ies) connected with any Booking. For all Bookings, your contract will be with the supplier of the Booking in question, and in most cases this will be the owner of the property you’ll be staying at (“Owner(s)”). When making your Booking we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with the Owner of the Booking. Your Booking with us is subject to these Agency Terms & Conditions and any 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 with us 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.

- you have read these Agency Terms & Conditions and agree to be bound by them;
- you consent to our use of your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy;

We automatically take the balance payment using the same card as used to make the deposit payment. It is your reponsibility 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 balance payment does not successfully go through as there is a problem with your card, such as it expiring, then we will contact you to try and take alternative payment. If we have been unable to take payment after two weeks of the balance due date, then with regret, we will notify the Owner who may cancel your Booking.
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.

2. Cancellation and Amendment by You

You are also advised to confirm all changes to our Customer Services Department by calling 0117 204 7830. 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 Amendments and cancellations can only be accepted in accordance with the booking conditions of the Owner of your Arrangements. The Owner may charge the cancellation or amendment charges shown in their booking conditions (which may be as much as 100% of the cost of the Arrangements and will normally increase closer to the date of departure). The Owner may charge cancellation or amendment charges in accordance with its own booking conditions, however for the sake of convenience only, we have outlined the Owner’s charges at clause 2.3 and 2.4 below. Please note that these are the Owner’s own cancellation and amendments charges, not Canopy & Stars’, and therefore the Owner may vary their charges as they wish, without notice to us. The correct charges will be notified to you at the time of your cancellation or amendments.
2.3 Owner’s General Cancellation Charges:
2.3.1 Cancellation by you at any time will result in your deposit being forfeited, as all deposits are non-refundable.
2.3.2 All monies paid for a holiday (deposit and balance) are non-refundable within 10 weeks before check in date.
2.3.3 Cancellation of any holiday after it has been paid in full and at a date 10 weeks or more in advance of your check in date, will result in forfeiture of your deposit (or an amount equivalent where one was not paid as the holiday was paid in full) and the balance being returned to you.
2.3.4 Cancellation insurance is available but will be a third party arrangement and not involve Canopy & Stars or the Owner in any way.
2.4 Owner’s General Amendment Charges:
2.4.1 Alterations to your Booking can only be made more than 10 weeks prior to the check in date, after which time alterations will be treated as cancellation. All alterations are subject to availability and may incur a £30 adminstration fee.
2.4.2 Differences in the total amount payable resulting from alterations will be refunded to you in the case of a decrease in price and paid by you in the case of increases in price.
Special note: Generally Owners will charge the above cancellation and amendment charges, however we must stress that these are a guide only and charges may differ from those shown here depending on the Owner. The exact charges will be notified to you by the Owner at the time of cancellation and/or can be found in the Owner’s own booking conditions which are available from the Owner on request.
3. 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 Arrangements or to cancel them. We will also liaise between you and the Owner in relation to any alternative Booking offered by the Owner but we will have no further liability to you.
4. Complaints
Because the contract for your Booking is between you and the Owner, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. In the event that you have any complaint about your stay, please notify the Owner as soon as possible. If you don’t follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the Owner to investigate and resolve your complaint and so make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Delays may also mean that amount of compensation you may be entitled to may be reduced. Whether or not your complaint is dealt with satisfactorily, please also contact us as we appreciate all feedback. It’s important to us and the Owner to know that you’ve enjoyed your stay or if anything could have been improved.
5. Pricing
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.
6. 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 ad 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.
7. 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.
8. Pets
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. A nightly charge may be made by the Owner for each pet and additional terms may apply.
9. 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.
10. 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 Arrangements you chose to purchase. 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.
11. Insurance
You are strongly recommended to take out personal travel insurance for all members of your party. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance you purchase is adequate and appropriate for your particular needs. Please read your policy details and take them with you on holiday.
12. Special requests
If you have any special requests (for example dietary requirements, 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. 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.
14. 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.
15. Your Responsibilities
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. 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 will also require damage deposits. 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. Any refund for so doing will be at the entire discretion of the Owner. In addition, 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.
16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These terms and conditions have been drafted in accordance with and are governed by English law and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to any and all disputes arising out of these Agency Terms & Conditions.
17. Discrepancies
In case of a discrepancy between these Agency Terms & Conditions and any other Canopy & Stars literature, these Agency Terms & Conditions shall prevail.
18. Validity clause
