I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and so did my dog! The welcome was second to none and could not have been warmer. A beautiful, peaceful setting which suited us perfectly. We certainly hope to return.

The cottage was lovely and had more than enough equipment in. The facilities were excellent and we really enjoyed our week exploring the local area and returning to such a lovely quiet cottage. The welcome pack was much appreciated and the dog loved playing with her little toy which was left for her by the owners.

We had a lovely stay at the Briary in late August. Mark and Diane were wonderful hosts, the welcome pack was lovely and the location is so peaceful. Our dog Marley absolutely loved his stay on the farm with the 5 resident dogs. The cottage is very well equipped and certainly dog friendly. Thanks Rob , Julie and Marley

Diane and Mark were the best hosts! They left a welcome hamper which included their own farm eggs and milk. Had a lovely break and highly recommend The Briary. The 5 family dogs were also very sweet
