Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a great day in Mark's workshop, going through the process for designing, planning and executing a woodwork project. We went through a lot of the tools that you use and Mark answered all the questions I've had kicking around my head for ages.
In the morning we built a picture frame (a project I have had the timber kicking around for for ages but wasn't getting around to completing).
I left the workshop with much greater confidence in my ability as a woodworker, as well as a ton of new knowledge to help me work smarter, more efficiently and safer.
Mark was also great company and we had plenty of laughs and cups of tea throughout the day too!
Highly recommend Mark and his courses!

The 1 day soft lidded box course course was great fun from start to finish but put together with real thought and care. We learned lots of valuable tips and tricks from planning our work, accurate measuring, safe machine cutting to precision blade cutting. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get started with woodworking. It was also a pleasure to share the day with Mark and his wealth of woodworking knowledge and witticisms! My soft lidded box has pride of place.

I took part in the beginners woodwork course. Mark is such a patient, thorough and engaging teacher. He clearly cares about wood! I wanted to bring my name (Carpenter) alive and I really felt like I did. I have some disabilities and Mark was patient and supportive.

Attended a six week course (one evening a week) to build an oak stool. Mark is an excellent teacher and he keeps the number of students low (just four of us) so the tuition is personalised. Fun, relaxed atmosphere. We all learnt a lot and got to walk away with a lovely creation of our own making. Highly recommended!

I have attended the Woodworking Basics evening course and was not disappointed. We got to use a variety of tools and went into specific details as and when needed/requested. Mark is a great teacher, puts you at ease and makes sure you understand the objective of the class. There was some good chats and even a cuppa and a biscuit, which has really rounded off the evening. I will definitely be back for some other courses Mark has on offer.

It’s is well planned and Mark is an absolutely brilliant teacher - he is passion about what he does, he is kind, funny, patience and with over 40yrs experience in the business.
Thank you so much Mark, you have inspired me to do more woodworking. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable day! All the best Caroline

really excellent tuition, which was based on years of experience and tailored to clients with limited experience. We learnt practical skills and tips and were given the opportunity to use tools we otherwise would never have used.
loads of opportunity to ask questions and we were all extremely happy with the course and the end product! Would absolutely recommend neon saw

My partner and I had a private one-day woodworking lesson with Mark (fundamentals of woodworking and carpentry) and it time very well spent.
Mark accommodated our desire to be able to build shelving and storage units and built our knowledge up from planning, tools, know-how and practical application.
It was a thoroughly rewarding and enjoyable day. Mark is an expert and personable tutor and we achieved all we hoped for and more.
I could not recommend Mark enough. Great tutoring at a very reasonable price.
