Lovely little motel! I appreciated everything about it. Claire and Richard were wonderful hosts, ensuring a clean room and a great homemade breakfast every AM. They had great recc's for the surrounding area (I was in town for a wedding from Ohio). The granola is outstanding, as is the vintage fridge in the lobby. Lots of wildlife surrounding the area,...

This place is warm, friendly, welcoming, clean, funky, cool and the area is just goregous. I found the Briarcliff at Trip Advisor and boy am I glad I did! Clare and Richard are the Bee's Knees. Breakfast yummy. Sat on the deck and visited with friends for a few hours before we left for home. Loved it. Will be back.

Spent Easter weekend there and thoroughly enjoyed it all. The room was great - had an extra large bathroom due to it being the accessible room and Clare was great - brought us dishes so we could eat our cheese and wine glasses for the wine upon arriving. Great breakfasts and wonderful conversation. All around great place and great people.

I stayed at the Briarcliff with one of my closest friends for a long weekend, Friday-Monday. Claire welcomed us at the desk when we checked in and offered us recommendations for local eats and activities. Our room was clean and the beds were comfy, what more could we ask for! DVD players in the TV, functional mini fridge for leftovers,... More

We stayed here a few times over the winter while skiing with our kids. The rooms are clean, modern and spare, which we loved. Though the rooms are not large, they are priced well and were exactly what we were looking for. Richard and Clare were very friendly, made a terrific continental breakfast with homemade baked goods and excellent coffee,... More

My wife and I stayed at the Briarcliff with our pup a few weeks ago while I was on a job interview. The room was very clean, modern, and totally comfortable for all three of us. It's like staying at your friends place in the Berkshires, without feeling like you constantly intruding! Clare and Richard were fantastic, answering questions about... More

Comfortable and very nice. The owners were great! Would stay here again! The furnishings are new and modern. We enjoyed finding this nice stopover! Even though we were early the owners let us into our room.

Found Braircliff online and booked after reading the rave reviews. We were not disappointed. Not immediately obvious from the road, Braircliff is stylishly decorated with spacious, clean rooms and an inviting communal area. From the outset, Clare and Richard were superb hosts: very responsive to email inquiries, a warm welcome upon our arrival and a valuable source of local information.... More

A surprise at the end of our stay in Massachusetts, the Briarcliff is beautifully furnished and run with style by Clare and Richard. The rooms are extremely comfortable and have a homely feel to them you don't find that often, making for a very relaxing stay in Great Barrington. The breakfasts were a delicious way to start the day, with... More
