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.

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.

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.

No, the room wasn't spotless. There was dust and a used tissue lying under the bed and the room needed a good clean overall. However, the bed linen was clean and the bed very comfortable. The house was cosy warm. Our room however, had several damp patches, mainly on the ceiling and a trickle of water running down the wall which need addressed. The property was advertised as having a hot tub (this was why I booked). When I asked about it, the host said "it wasn't available for use", therefore this is misleading! The website showed a full mini bar including various chocolate, however it was empty. When I asked about this, I was told the delivery had not arrived. It did not arrive during our stay. The host's attitude left a bit to be desired, mainly when he made reference to the amount of food which had been consumed by the guests on our first morning at breakfast! The food consumed was not overboard. I think he misinterpreted our staying to chat after breakfast was finished and thought we were late leaving due to the amount of food we had! The morning we checked out there was a female member of staff present at breakfast whom I assumed to be the host's mother, who was much more pleasant. These issues would not prevent us from returning and the fact that we got an early check-in was most welcome.
