We had a lovely 2 week stay at The Briars, very comfortable beds and it had all the necessary facilities. Great location, very quiet, and a shop over the road was very convenient. We would go back.

Briars was a very cute and comfortable cottage. We used the outside area which was small but got the afternoon sun😁😁It was a perfect size for a couple. The local shop was a real bonus! Very friendly and well stocked. It was very well located for various visits. The owner was very helpful. Keep up the good work!!
