Thank you for checking out our website and we hope you book with us and an enjoyable and relaxing time and most importantly that you sleep well.

The Briers is an 18th-century country house with nine en suite bedrooms sleeping up to 22, a licensed bar you stock yourself, a snug, and a bar and dining room in one open-plan space, set in an acre of grounds with two hot tubs and a barrel sauna. A fully equipped kitchen and a living room are in build for January 2027. We let the whole house at weekends and midweek, and midweek we also sell the rooms individually.

As I’m sure you know The Mourne area is a beautiful location that combines history, natural beauty, and warm hospitality. From the shores of the Irish Sea to the Mourne Mountains, we truly do have it all. And with this brings a wealth of experiences for visitors like yourself to explore and enjoy.

The team and I, are ready to extend a warm welcome, and are on hand to help create a memorable experience where possible. Please do not hesitate in asking us any queries you may have, and we will do our best to ensure your needs are met including recommendations on local attractions, dining experiences, and hidden gems that will make your visit truly unforgettable.

I bought The Briers in April 2023 and we have been renovating ever since — the reception, the snug, the corridors and the dining room are done, and the bedrooms are working their way through. In December 2023 we also bought Glassdrumman House near Annalong, which reopened in summer 2024 as The Brambles, our sister property half an hour down the Mourne coast.

Once again on behalf of myself and the team I would like to thank you for choosing to stay in The Briers and we hope your stay will be filled with joy, relaxation, and a sense of genuine hospitality.
