We have just left the Briardene after a lovely relaxing weekend away for our silver wedding anniversary. Sam and David are very welcoming into what is essentially their home. The beds are great, showers powerful with plenty of fluffy towels and the breakfasts to die for. If you get the chance to go away, look this wonderful place up as... More

Stayed at Briardene whilst attending a wedding nearby (rooms slightly dear at hotel where wedding taking place). I am so glad we did - there were many wedding guests jealous of our excellent find. The rooms were spotless with everything in, and more, that you need. I think the little extras made it extra special - like bottled water, mint... More
