Award-Winning Hospitality: Briar Barn Inn Wins BONS and Best of Boston

Briar Barn Inn has some exciting news to share! We're thrilled to announce that our property has recently been honored with two awards -  a BONS Award and a Best of Boston award.

BONS

Each summer, @northshoremag publishes an issue that celebrates brand new businesses, local main-stays, and the rising stars of our region with the “Best of Northshore” issue.

This year Briar Barn Inn appeared in the Editors’ Choice section, named “Best New Historic Stay” for The Cottage at Briar Barn Inn!

In the issue: “The Cottage at Briar Barn Inn delivers an unforgettable experience. Housed in the meticulously restored Perley-Lamber-Jewett House, a circa-1725 saltbox in Rowley’s Historic District, the new accommodation, which sleeps six, seamlessly blends more than 300 years of New England history with modern comforts.”
