Check in was contactless. I thought I was alone in the building all night. I didn't see anyone until breakfast the next day when another guest came into the breakfast room. The staff member I met in the morning was friendly- they directed me to breakfast. Gave me some directions to where I was working in the area that only a local would know so I could ignore my sat nav. Helped me out in deicing my car as there had been a freeze overnight. The room itself was comfortable. The breakfast was good. I would stay again.

I was travelling with my dog and staying for 4 nights. My room had door to outside which was exactly what I needed not to disturb anyone every time I was taking my dog out. Breakfast was good. I would definiately stay again!

Great property that is away from the Main Street but close enough to be in the middle of action in a few minutes. Beds and showers were great.

Peace & luxury just outside town
Absolutely fabulous, was blown away by how good The Briers was. Vastly exceeded expectations and will look to always stay there in future when in Newcastle to play golf at Royal County Down. Luxurious bedrooms, bedding, etc and such a peaceful setting. Wish I’d been staying longer.

Darren is a fabulous host. Incredibly friendly, outgoing and informative. His property is beautiful he he does an amazing job of making you feel at home. He provided us with recommendations to a fabulous restaurant and recommended that we make time to stroll the waterfront, which we did and were so happy we did! We already have plans to stay at The Briers Country house again.
