Summary: Absolutely loved our stay at Briarley’s historic property! It was the perfect base for our group of 7 couples attending a nearby wedding. The contrast between the beautifully modern interior and the spacious, picturesque outdoor areas made it ideal for both relaxing and socialising together. The pool area was a standout and a lifesaver on such a warm weekend—perfect for cooling off and unwinding. Briarley was an excellent communicator throughout our stay and made everything feel easy and seamless. The property had absolutely everything we needed and more. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough!
