Briar Barn Inn

Staying at Briar Barn Inn has been an amazing experience. I stayed for several nights for a business trip and the Inn was recommended by a coworker. I chose to make the reservation and eventual changes due to a cancelled flight over the phone, which was answered by very friendly, patient, and understanding staff. My check-in after a long full day at work was simple and relaxed, and I was greeted by a very warm, welcoming atmosphere. I booked a single king bed room, but was surprised by how large it is. It has a separate sitting area with a gas fireplace and TV. Even though I didn't use those because I just wanted to sleep at the end of the days, it was still a nice touch and plenty of space to sit down my luggage. What was even more impressive was the cleanliness of the hotel and the room. It not only showed that there had been recent renovations, it was kept in pristine condition. The close proximity to Ipswich where my daily meetings were was an added benefit.

Every staff I interacted with were genuinely caring and went out of their way to make my stay comfortable and memorable. When I arrived early they made a great suggestion for lunch and when I wanted to watch the best place to watch a sunset, they suggested Plum Island and it was spectacular! I loved that you had a tea kettle and excellent teas! This is a home-like environment with lovely amenities. I was very tired upon arriving and rested by the pool. The next day after a restful sleep and a relaxing tub soak, I was refreshed for the last leg of my journey home. This was my second stay and I give you 5 stars this time. Can't wait to try you again in the Fall!

A wonderful place to stay! Highly recommend.
