Its either a 5-10 min drive into Newcastle or a nice 30min walk. Really good for somewhere to decompress for a few days. ##### Seamus Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jody Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Lovely setting and beautiful gardens.

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 #### niall Jun 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Another great stay at the briers.

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. ##### Paula Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian Mar 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing experience Amazing views, service, and incredibly comfortable.
