“I always love this place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

Yay I am back here again - This is my favourite B&B EVER -
After Thailand this is a wonderful change - cosy - FANTASTIC breakfast - this breakfast is the best I have ever had - even julie the owner remembered me which was incredible - talk about great owners!

I stayed in the state room with my sister and my parents stayed in the Macdonald room - FOUR POSTER BEDS!! -
just up the road from the town - very very cosy and reminded me of the times I was with my partner last time.
Thanks again Julie !

“Worth the climb!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

We definitely recommend Briarbank, it's very nicely decorated, the rooms are clean and warm, with lots of pillows and cushions on the bed, and the welcoming whisky was just what we needed after a long day travelling. Breakfast was good, a decent choice and well prepared and presented.
