Relax After Exploring

For groups visiting Tollymore Forest Park, The Briers is under two kilometres from the forest gates — close enough to walk it if the weather is behaving. Whether you're planning a family gathering, a hiking trip with friends, or a team away day, The Briers takes groups of up to 23 across nine en suite bedrooms, with a licensed bar you stock yourselves, a snug, and two hot tubs and a barrel sauna in an acre of grounds. Come back from a day on the trails, get in the hot tub, and eat together around one table. Dogs are welcome, which suits Tollymore. It makes an easy base for a group weekend at the foot of the Mournes.
