Very accommodating establishment, our daughter ended up staying overnight with us after a wedding event, and the inn was fully booked but accommodated us with a rollaway for a small charge. Thank you loved the visit

Briar Barn is truly everything ne wants in a hotel stay- custom, fantastic staff, lovely extra ammenities (coffee, pasteries, water, great soaps/lotions). The best part for us was the comfortable bed, nice soaking tub and sitting in front of the fire in our private room on our 17th anniversay!! The entire site is thoughtfully decorated with antiques that intrigue, and the "bones" of Briar Barn remain new and contemporary- so refreshing!!! We will most certainly be back!

Very clean and spacious bedroom and bathroom. It was our first time here. Super friendly and helpful staff. Rowley was calm and peaceful compared to the hectic pace of Rockport or Newburyport but we were still an easy drive to Plum Island beaches and restaurants/sites in all these places. We will book it again.

The Briar Barn Inn is a hidden gem. The staff and manager were so friendly and hospitable. The rooms are cozy and the decor in the inn is very unique. The continental breakfast was so fresh and yummy. Home baked pastries from The Grove. ( Onsite restaurant)

A very nice, clean property with nice amenities. There is a very nice outdoor pool. The property also has a nice spa and restaurant. We ate at the restaurant which had a nice atmosphere. The music was just a bit loud. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his dinner. My watermelon salad was delicious, but my clam spaghetti was way too salty. This property is not within walking distance to too much, but is within 15 mis of driving into Newburyport. We did play pickleball at the local tennis club.

External amenities eg pool were not adequate it was extremely small and with children in it with inflatables there was no room left. Needs to either be a children’s pool or adults pool. Not enough space to lay around the pool either. Shame as we chose this hotel thinking we would be Able to chill out and relax but it was not possible. Great food in restaurant. Staff really helpful. Black out blinds in room would have been nice it has Venetian blinds that let light through . TV also did not work
