Nice stay, not memorable.

The property is nice, not much character in the way of uniqueness. The bathroom was wonderful, deep bathtub with sea salts and spacious shower. No amenities offered except soap and lotion. The breakfast was minimal with yogurt and muffins. Grove Restaurant was nice, but again nothing unique or spectacular. For an event this would be a lovely venue. For a couple or family, so-so

Not peaceful this time.

I usually love the Briar Barn Inn for solo, recuperative getaways. I did not enjoy it so much this time, as there apparently was a wedding party staying at the Inn that made constant loud noise in the hallway until finally quiet hours kicked in and I called the front desk. But they were up making noise again by around 7am. My room was on the second flood and nearly at the end of the hall, but it still did not keep me from hearing all of the noise--looks of loud walking/running in the hall, lots of loud talking (even quiet talking was completely audible--no noise barrier), and kids running around. Not the relaxing getaway that I had so looked forward to. If you're planning a quiet stay, I would call and be sure it's not overlapping with a wedding.
