A DISTINCTIVE COUNTRY RETREAT
Briar Barn Inn reimagines rustic comfort in a quaint New England setting, just 30 minutes from Boston. Enjoy the authentic hospitality of an expansive country retreat, connected by winding paths through beautifully landscaped gardens.
From our exquisitely appointed guest quarters to our spa and restaurant, Briar Barn Inn provides all the essential elements for couples, families, and friends to create the stories they dream of telling – not just for a weekend, but for years to come.
Experience the North Shore
Located on the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway (Route 1A), Briar Barn Inn is just a stone’s throw from the rocky coastline and beaches of Ipswich and Cape Ann to the south, and historic Newburyport to the north.
Discover the area’s best-kept secrets, and the many things to see and do around historic Rowley.
A getaway for any season
From the picturesque beauty of New England foliage in fall to the entrancing fragrance of spring flowers, Briar Barn Inn is surrounded by 50 acres of rambling countryside, offering a stunning landscape for year-round outdoor activities – or a warming drink by the fireplace in winter.
