25 members of my family had a reunion lunch at Briars restaurant today and it was lovely. The restaurant was extremely crowded due to MOther's Day weekend but the service of the food to our table was quite good. We expected some delay but enjoyed the experience. Everyone really enjoyed our chosed meals other than the baked vegetable were not... More

Have stayed at the Briars a number of times over recent years without cause to complain. The price is usually reasonable value for money and the rooms (if only just starting to get a little dated) are always clean and comfortable. The rooms open on to the duck pond and gardens and make for a very relaxing setting no matter... More

Briars offer lunch to the public. Had a meal here last weekend and it was pleasant. The atmosphere is lovely with live music and outdoor seating offered. Food choice is broad and often changes. There is the ability to 'cook your own' steak or other meats. Value could be improved, but on the whole impressed.

Had a pleasant 2 night stay over the Easter break at a good rate for the Sunday and Monday nights. The room was quite comfortable and with very pleasant warm weather we used the small outdoor area with table and chairs outside each room for an afternoon glass of wine as the sun went down over the lake and nice...

We drove from Melbourne to Sydney and stopped at Bowral on the way, what a lovely town it is, we got a great deal through Wotif and the motel is lovely. The rooms are a really big size and over look a big lake and rolling green lawns, so lovely and relaxing. The king size bed was comfy and the... More

Decided to go to the Briars because people had said it was worthwhile going ... We won't be back. The menu looked great and there was a selection of very tasty sounding meals available. A good selection of salads was available to have with our meal... The best part of the meal. I had the Barramundi which was the better... More

The rooms are great ,big in size with double doors to open to a view of the pond which have ducks that like to come and say hello- we found it very relaxing but most of all good value. The staff are lovely, rooms clean and free use of washing machine and dryer.
