    🛁 Soaking Tub Spotlight 🛁
Did you know that 28/30 rooms at Briar Barn Inn have a stand-alone soaking tub with bath salts and a loofa? There’s a walk-in shower in every room too!  
Time in a tub can reduce pain and inflammation, calm the nervous system, reduce the levels of stress and anxiety in the body, and improve your mood. Plan some time away to rest and restore your well-being at our rural retreat.
After your soak, you can spend time relaxing in a soft robe and slippers by the fireplace.
If you’re feeling extra, our “All The Extras” winter offer includes our signature chocolate chip cookies and wine upon arrival. When you’re ready to check out, you’ll take home two plush Briar Barn Inn robes and a Farm + Sea candle when you check out! Book this experience with the rate code “Luxe”.
We hope to see you relaxing at @briarbarninn soon!

    Briar Barn Inn is covered in a fresh layer of snow this week. If you love taking a walk through a winter wonderland, the walkway’s clear to enjoy the views. We even saw a snowman in the courtyard! 
If you’d rather enjoy the snowy views from indoors, enjoy a warm bath, put on a soft robe, then cozy up by the fire with a book or your favorite show!
Briar Barn Inn is 30 miles north of Boston on Main Street in Rowley, Massachusetts. We’re in the middle of the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway, a roadway that connects 14 coastal communities from Salem all the way up past Newburyport!
