I've just returned from yet another weekend at The Briars. It's one of my favourite places to visit and have returned many times. The comfort of the rooms and overall ambiance is so relaxing, and the beds are the best I've found in my travels. Throughout my 6 years, spring and fall, we've had various room accommodations at the lodge,... More

A weekend (or longer) visit to The Briars is a relaxing and satisfying step back in time. At this historic property, which has an old fashioned chinzy but tidy country club feeling about it, the service and amenities are up to the minute, the rooms are bright and well appointed and the kitchen delivers generous amounts of beautifully prepared home-style...

The staff are amazing and bend over backwards to help at all times. The food is fantastic. We have been going to the Briars twice a year for many years (14?) and they have never failed us. Long walks in the woods or by the water, or play golf or swim in their indoor or outdoor pools (2). Have a... More

I have been to the Briar's twice now for business training courses through our company. It is a great place and ideal for smaller conferences of about 15 people or so. The Briar's is a unique, old-style Ontario cottage country resort and it is charming. I suppose some people would say that's it is dated but I really don't view... More

I am a regular visitor to the Briars and have just returned from another glorious stay. I have experienced many other resorts of this nature and can say that The Briars is by far the most tranquil, relaxing and rejuvenating spa/resort I have been to. The staff are so accommodating and the services at the spa as well as the... More

Our whole family was silent on the drive home from The Briars. My husband and I joked that we were all depressed because we had to leave...... The Briars has hit the mark on service, care and comfort. If you have not been here, do yourself a favour and plan a visit. We are already planning our return. It was... More

My husband and I like to check out what Ontario has to offer. A couple of times per year we take off for the weekend and stay at a resort or Inn. Our Spring get-away took us to The Briars at Jackson's point. The Inn has lots of charm and I am sure looks much now like it did when... More

We've been to The Briars three times. Each experience has been exceptional. It is the perfect place for an executive or couple's retreat. It is one of the most romantic and restorative places my wife and I have stayed. Here's my top ten positives: 1.) The grounds are beautiful, park-like, and spacious on the southern coast of Lake Simcoe 2.)... More

My wife and I stayed two nights and had a wonderfully relaxing time. The pool was very nice with only a couple of us swimming. The food was excellent and the accommodation very cosy and quaint. The staff really know how to treat the guests from the servers to the guy who came and lit the log fire whilst we... More
