Nice stay, not memorable.
The property is nice, not much character in the way of uniqueness. The bathroom was wonderful, deep bathtub with sea salts and spacious shower. No amenities offered except soap and lotion. The breakfast was minimal with yogurt and muffins. Grove Restaurant was nice, but again nothing unique or spectacular. For an event this would be a lovely venue. For a couple or family, so-so

Not peaceful this time.
I usually love the Briar Barn Inn for solo, recuperative getaways. I did not enjoy it so much this time, as there apparently was a wedding party staying at the Inn that made constant loud noise in the hallway until finally quiet hours kicked in and I called the front desk. But they were up making noise again by around 7am. My room was on the second flood and nearly at the end of the hall, but it still did not keep me from hearing all of the noise--looks of loud walking/running in the hall, lots of loud talking (even quiet talking was completely audible--no noise barrier), and kids running around. Not the relaxing getaway that I had so looked forward to. If you're planning a quiet stay, I would call and be sure it's not overlapping with a wedding.

Best New Year's Start 2025
I have been at the Briar Barn Inn three other times and this time I brought my mom and sister (who is from Florida) for their first time! I was so excited to share with them this beautiful place. It did not disappoint. In fact, it was way above my expectations! Taylor and Jordan went out of their way to make our stay the 5 Star experience the Inn is known for. The Christmas decorations and trees throughout the Inn made us feel like we were in a Hallmark Movie. Which for us was a Dream come true. It was elegantly and thoughtfully decorated. The staff were supportive and kind. If I could give them all a Raise $$ I would say they deserve it, putting up with our antics! So many belly-laughs and new memories made at our little family reunion. We are coming back in the Spring with our sister in laws!

Love it!
I love the Briar Barn Inn! I have stayed twice for a solo getaway. So relaxing, and the beds are so comfortable. This time my room was the closest to the reception, however, and I will ask to not be so close to the reception in the future as it was noisier than the room I last stayed in, down the hall.
