There are two hot tubs and a barrel sauna in the garden — enough that a group does not have to take turns, and useful after a day on the hill or eighteen holes into the wind.
The Briers sits in its own grounds on Middle Tollymore Road, in open countryside rather than on a street. Slieve Donard is four kilometres away and Tollymore Forest Park is under two.
There is outdoor seating for the evenings that allow it, and free parking for as many cars as your group arrives in, including space for a minibus.
Dogs are welcome, and the walking starts more or less at the gate.
