Everything went well, the room was spotless, check in so easy and the all night quiet. Comfy beds. Definitely worth of money, brilliant place.

The accommodation was immaculately clean and extremely pet friendly. Great value as well.

Check in was incredibly simple. Our room had a door to a lovely shared outside area with a table and chairs. This made it very easy to deal with our wee dog, who was welcomed. This is the first time we have taken him away and it will not be the last. The home had beautiful views of the mourns and amazing gardens. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was simple, which pleased me greatly, I detest not knowing what is going on at breakfast. Our host was cheerful, helpful and obviously very kind.. We had a great stay, thank you so much.

Everything was perfect great location lovely staff very helpful

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

Very clean and comfortable

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.

Beautiful place to stay and friendly staff

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.

Place was beautiful but breakfast was a let down. Would need a car to go anyway as it is out of the way.

Lovely spot, great staff, good location with lovely gardens. Room was nice and clean, the continental breakfast was nice.

Another great stay at the briers. Very reasonably priced and Colin us a great host. Will be back in a few months.

Clean room and staff

comfortable bed, hot shower and a great breakfast

Being silly hack, travel can sometimes be very disappointing and dangerous for me. I was very impressed with a breakfast that was available. Lots of healthy gluten-free options that actually taste good fresh fruit, oats, boiled eggs, fresh juice. This location is very close to Tollymore Forest Park. I chose to walk the 700 m to the gate and along the way I passed a sheep farm. There were baby lambs all over the place and the owner invited me to go pet them. It was a wonderful experience and I would definitely go back there again and stay longer.

clean room friendly host, all staff ready to help and friendly
