Loved our stay at this quiet and peaceful cottage located just outside of town. It is a simple space and decor but very clean and comfortable, including a soft bed. Breakfast had several options and was tasty. Check in and out was easy. Would highly recommend.

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.
