An ‘Unlikely’ Place to Stay on the North Shore
Briar Barn Inn has recently been recognized by the Boston Globe in their Sunday travel section! We’re so happy to put ‘unlikely’ places like Rowley on the map! Rowley is in a historic, scenic region that’s perfectly positioned among some of our favorite North Shore destinations.
“First impressions can be deceiving. From its Main Street entrance, the inn looks like a humble B&B — in fact, this building once housed the Country Garden Inn. ‘People are shocked when they come in, thinking we’re just that first building,’ (now used for administration), says McKillop. Move down the driveway, though, and the new, 30-room property comes into view. You’ll pass a spa (to open later this summer), a pool-in-progress, the silo-shaped inn, and a courtyard bordered by greenery. A separate building houses the Grove restaurant, plus an outdoor terrace for summer dining and a fire pit patio.” (full article)
If you’re planning a visit to the North of Boston area – start with a stay at Briar Barn Inn and we’ll point you in the right direction! Our great neighbors in Rowley, Ipswich, Newburyport, Essex, Gloucester, and Rockport have so much to offer. We are in the heart of the North Shore surrounded by these coastal towns with extensive beaches, dining, and shopping options! Boutiques in Newburyport, Crane Beach in Ipswich, the North Shore Music Theater in Beverly, and Essex River Cruises are all within a short and scenic drive of our property.
