The Briers

I was traveling in a little bit of a large vehicle, so found it difficult to get parking and eventually needed the assistance of a taxi service. Room was adequate for a one night stay. Big surprise, the following morning was a spectacular breakfast. which I was not expecting.

Had a great stay here and will definitely return, i was a solo traveller with my dog. The Briers had excellent service and nothing was to much trouble. Location is first class, The Briers is in a peaceful location but also so close to Tullymore forest park, Newcastle beach and so much more.

Good condition room, fabulous staff, fast internet, onsite parking, good sumptuous continental breakfast, good location.

We had a great stay in this comfortable hotel. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. The garden was nice and guests were allowed access to it. Rita was especially helpful to us and enabled us to change rooms to a downstairs bedroom as my wife is disabled.

The Briers is a lovely Country House surrounded with beautiful views just outside of Newcastle. We stayed in room 8 which had a very comfortable bed, great shower and large TV. The continental breakfast was very good and the host Rita, was very friendly and extremely helpful. We will definitely be back! Thank you.

Staff/owner was a great host! She helped us plan our day and offered great hospitality!!! Great value and nice country side living!

The room was average but suitable. The carpet in the room however was extremely dirty with holes in it and should be better maintained. The hot water in the shower was temperamental going from cold to hot with the water shutting off every 10 seconds and then reactivating at scolding hot temperatures, needless to say it was difficult to take a comfortable shower.

Room is fine, basic self-serve continental breakfast. Not as nice as many B&Bs in this price range we have stayed in. I suspect that ownership has changed since many of the glowing reviews were written.

I had the most amazing stay here. Marty greeted me at the reception and showed my my room that had coffee/tea amenities; a big hot tub and TV, large clean bathroom, super comfortable bed and amazing views. They are located just outside of Newcastle; the manager will go as far as providing everyone a lift down to town in a bus if they want to, but the place has a large bar, lounge/snug, stunning grounds and loads of comfortable suntrap seats to relax in so no need to leave! Marty even brought me a chippy from town. Breakfast was also delicious. Couldn’t possibly recommend this place any more, can’t wait to go back.
