The room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was disappointing as there was no yoghurt or prunes or fresh fruit. The service was disconnected. It’s a shame as last week when we were there, the breakfast was good.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. I was very disappointed after a 7 hour drive (arrived 17:00ish) to find as a resident I could not use the Restaurant as I had not booked and that the bar did not offer evening 'lighter meals'. The first night (Thursday) there was a party in the function room, if only the staff had thought to put us in a room that was not the one over the function. Apart from these niggles which I shared with the manager - the hotel was beautifully located and we enjoyed the peace when weddings were not on. So if booking it is worth checking if functions are taking place...

The best nights sleep!

We had an amazing stay at Briery wood. Though we only stayed one night, it was one of the most relaxing nights we have had in a while and we both slept SO well! The bed was extremely comfy and the room had lots of little details that made our stay feel a little extra special- including a powerful fan perfect for the warmer weather, two pillows each as standard, lots of tea and coffee options & complimentary biscuits! The bar area was very pretty and breakfast was a worthwhile addition (pastries and fruit in addition to a cooked breakfast off of a small menu). The bathroom was a little dated but clean and pretty and the shower was powerful. Though smaller than the Cragwood sister hotel, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again in future.

This is a quaint hotel that is nicely decorated. Unfortunately, despite asking for quiet rooms, we were given rooms in the main hallway where everyone has to pass by to get in and out of the hotel and get to and from breakfast. The hotel staff also use the foyer right across from these rooms to collect all of the used items from rooms they are cleaning so it was extremely noisy, especially in the morning. The staff are completely oblivious to this. Breakfast wasn't memorable and when they're fully booked, it's almost impossible to move around the dining room.
