Briars Resort & Spa

Came here for a wedding. Other than the grounds being pretty, it's nothing to write home about. Dated on the inside, at dinner, some people had microscopic pieces of meat and others had large portions, same with the sides so no consistency. No serving of more than one drink at a time so me with a bad knee couldn't even have my husband bring me a drink when he went for his, had to go up and down myself. Just blah.

Lovely spa, however I was really disappointed with the resort. From the pictures posted on their site compared to in person was a huge difference. I felt it was in desperate need of an update. Our room looked like it was the 80th, the couch sure felt like it, super lumpy. The towels we're so thin, bedding didn't have a comforter. At our first meal I asked my server what she would recommend between two dishes. She told me she can't eat at the restaurant because they don't offer a staff discount and she's a student. So the chef doesn't offer the wait staff samples of the dishes to try?? I did appreciate the staff throughout the resort, all we're very kind. I definitely will not be back based on cost for we got.

Friendly staff who will do their best. Dated fixtures and furnishings. Food is very good. Overall value for dollar quite low. Adequate at best.

The food, spa, staff, atmosphere, activities and more is fantastic. The rooms are good but could be better although you're really only changing, sometimes chilling and sleeping in there because you're usually using their facilities and activities! I have only been to The Briars in winter though, but an overall 5 STAR rating!

Went to the Briars for a long weekend wedding celebration. Staff were friendly and accommodating, rooms are clean and bright. Rooms have very nice toiletries, good quality coffee and tea. Buffet breakfast was fabulous, unfortunately, hot items not more then room temperature. They certainly go out of their way to give you a wonderful selection of food items. I would recommend this hotel/inn for a memorable getaway or important celebration.I was surprised to be charged $1.00 at checkout for using MasterCard to pay the bill.
