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. ##### STEPHEN Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie Jul 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Just lovely! ##### Carrie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect location for a break in the Mournes. We had a lovely stay at this beautiful place. We booked a night away as we have recently got married, and my husband is recovering from a serious illness. We just needed some "downtime" as we also have a daughter with disabilities, and this was the perfect spot. We have actually booked the superior room for a night next month,as I have felt so refreshed today. The continental breakfast was lovely. My husband is more of a cooked breakfast fan,but I was delighted to find several gluten free options, including bread, porridge and cereal, and also dairy alternatives. I think this is the first place we have stayed that has actually provided gluten and lactose free options. The only drawback was a bit of noise from another guest's 2 large dogs through the night. I love that the Briers is pet friendly, and have recommended it to both my son and daughter who are always looking for pet friendly places to stay. The noise didn't bother me as we have dogs ourselves,but my husband is a bit noise sensitive due to illness. Not a fault of the Briers at all, just very excited dogs on holiday. We are looking forward to going back often. We had beautiful views of the stunning Mourne mountains from our room as an added bonus. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gail Oct 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean comfy warm room, super B&B - really good value for money ##### Gail Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Niall Oct 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great stay as always in the briers.

At check in we were greeted and walked to our room. We were a little early for our reservation and we were allowed right in. Owner showed us around and was incredibly friendly. Other visitors told us some great hiking locations to check out. Continental breakfast laid out nicely. Beautiful view of Mourne Mountains. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a59859be-3042-48dd-83b4-5386031385b6-1752076279323.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Abigail Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayla Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Briers is a beautiful property hosted by Darren, a precious man. He asked after our trip, have recommendations based on what we liked, suggested places that he and his family have enjoyed and was a delight to talk to. The room is spacious, the bathroom is out of a magazine, the view is beautiful and the location ideal. It feels like being in a movie set. We will definitely stay here again when we're in the area. ##### Kayla Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen May 16, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommend this hotel. Darren was a brilliant and friendly host without being intrusive, which is his style. Great continental breakfasts, lovely spacious room and very clean facilities. Hotel is situated in a lovely country area with easy access to the town. Lovely area to stay with plenty of places to visit. We spent 4 nights of bliss. ##### Stephen Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Heather McTavish May 8, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities An idyll setting, could watch the lambs playing all day. ##### Heather McTavish Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Apr 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfext stay Lovely accomodation, very comfortable, laid back and intimate ##### James Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mandy Mar 18, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Thank you for a great stay.
