Our foursome just returned from a golfing holiday in Northern Ireland where we spent three night at Briers. Breakfasts, accommodations, scenery, and hospitality were really great, and Suzan is a wonderful hostess. The Country House provides a true feel for rural County Down at its finest, yet is close to Newcastle Town Centre and other nearby towns for restaurants, golf,... More

Myself and my partner have just come back from a weekend at the Briers and the first thing we had to do was write a review. This place is fabulous. Suzan and Brian (the owners) couldnt have been nicer, they recommended places to eat, things to do and were on hand for anything we needed, although you were very much... More

Susan, our warm and friendly hostess looked after our needs in a relaxed and efficient "No bother" way. The inn is spotless, comfortable and homey, surrounded by gardens. The rooms were cozy and warm during a Newcastle force 9 gale which lifted sheep off the ground and drowned hedgehogs. And for breakfast, anything you desire served in a timely manner,... More

Chose to stay here after reading mainly favourable reviews on TA, and we weren't disappointed. We were made to feel most welcome by Suzan throughout our stay. We had a lovely room with stunning views of the Mournes, plus a good size bathroom with walk-in shower. One thing though that I think would improve the room would be the addition... More

I just return from a golfing holiday in Northern Ireland and stayed - for the second time - at the Briers. Like last year I was overwelmed by the service of Susan and her family, the locacation as well as the atmosphere at the Briers´. Situated just outside of Newcastle town centre - a short 30 minutes walk --, the... More

Suzan & Bryan were such gracious hosts; they complement the great yard and surroundings, provide a quiet environment, and serve superb breakfasts. Extremely comfortable bed and room! The Briers is close enough to central Newcastle and great golf at Royal County Down, yet sufficiently separate to be out of the tourist melee. Great value and experience.

When we arrived at the Briers and were driving up the laneway we were very impressed with the surroundings. Lovely, well kept gardens and hedges. Lovely entrance, swift check in, but sadly, for us, thats where it started to go wrong. We were shown to our room by Susan, who was very nice and gave us advice on where to... More
