He asked after our trip, have recommendations based on what we liked, suggested places that he and his family have enjoyed and was a delight to talk to. The room is spacious, the bathroom is out of a magazine, the view is beautiful and the location ideal. It feels like being in a movie set. We will definitely stay here again when we're in the area. ##### Kayla Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William 27 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quiet, spacious, and very clean country house.

It is a simple space and decor but very clean and comfortable, including a soft bed. Breakfast had several options and was tasty. Check in and out was easy. Would highly recommend. ##### Paula Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian 10 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing experience Amazing views, service, and incredibly comfortable. I needed a hotel last minute for some friends and The Briers blew away my expectations. I will absolutely recommend people stay here in the future. ##### Brian Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Christina 12 May 2025 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Close to Tollymore Nice area, room was decent size but cobwebs in the corners of the room, water stains on ceiling. We booked due to location to Tollymore forest, very close and not too far away from downtown Newcastle which was nice. Bathroom good size but water from shower went all over the floor. Really not much for breakfast options other than cereal, some pastries and fruit. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/960f0a68-204e-4197-8cdf-015d0be6f25c-1747081112762.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8124159b-6090-4a13-a865-1052de871c38-1747081114004.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ded0ead9-faa4-4552-9cde-ac16c32a89fb-1747081113057.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9b7ab363-958d-48e0-9de3-554d896f1bb4-1747081117125.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christina Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Iveta 9 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I was travelling with my dog and staying for 4 nights.
