The Briers Country House

Location was perfect for the Mournes and based in quiet countryside. Comfortable en suite room, with tv, access to WiFi, coffee making facilities., etc. Well sound proofed, didn't really hear other guests. Nice continental breakfast. Would stay again.

Beautiful location, comfortable and clean room.

Didn’t dislike anything in particular, breakfast was quite basic but other than that it was great

Beautiful location, bed was very comfortable. Decent options for the continental breakfast.

When we were checking in our key and others were just at the desk with our name wrote on a sticky note. Didn’t see any members of staff whilst there. Other guests slamming doors at 5am and because pets are allowed we could hear guests taking them past our room which was very loud. The heating seemed to be controlled elsewhere so was uncomfortably warm. Only 1/2 a toilet roll was left and no extras in room. Items left in the bottom of the wardrobe so might not have been checked, bed frame was dusty and both room and bathroom mirrors were dusty/toothpaste marks on them.

The bedroom ( room 6) was a good size and very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. The continental breakfast, albeit completely self service, was fresh and offered a lot of choice. Reasonable overnight rates for a room.

Resembled a functional country motel more than a B&B. The initial appearance of the outside of the property was run down. Lots of weeds in driveway and exterior walls badly in need of a coat of fresh paint. The windows look in need of repair/upgrade. This despite the installation of what looks like an outdoor hot tub! The common areas of the interior also reflect neglect. Old worn carpet needing replacing asap; walls badly scuffed and pitted with plaster holes. Just a general lack of being cared for. We were astonished that there was no one there to welcome us and actually we saw no -one from management throughout our overnight stay. Disappointing.
