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.

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.
