Thank you very much for a very successful stay at The Briars… the staff was outstanding and very accommodating, the food was just brilliant and our meeting space was perfect, great space.  My boss commented a couple of times on what a brilliant venue you have.  I’ll be keeping you on file for future events to be sure.

I have to say wow!
The group was extremely happy with the accommodations and the food of course.  The golf and spa when without a hitch and all had a great day.
The BBQ was done again to perfection and your staff was amazing.  It started at the Front Desk, meeting room setup, dining room servers, our friendly chauffeur and bartender.  The group expressed the fact that the servers were friendly and courteous and everyone seemed to enjoy what they were doing.  It goes without saying that your group exemplifies professionalism and that the Briars is wonderful venue to host a meeting.

Carol McDonell, Unilever Canada

The arrangements all went off without any trouble on the weekend and the staff were all very helpful and professional. The hosting staff at our meals were particularly warm, professional and efficient. They are a real credit to the Briars.

We had a wonderful time at the Briars, thank you very much. The service was excellent, the food delicious, and no one from our team had any complaints about any of it.

The staff were all  friendly and very accommodating.  
I want to thank you especially for  your patience and understanding during our meeting preparations – you really understood what we needed. This was such a positive experience that I’m sure Heinz will use The Briars in the future.

Linda Freud, H.J. Heinz

I can't begin to thank you enough for the way your team treated our group. ... The accommodations surpassed our expectations. The cottages were clean, fresh and well appointed. Your help with the meal planning was a great help to me.  ... Not only was every meal exceptional, but the fact that you printed the menu in French was above and beyond expectation.  As you may already know, our organization also surveys the participants as to their level of satisfaction in all our workshops. I was not surprised to see that to the last participant, our group was thrilled with all aspects of the conference. The meeting room was the perfect size for our group and the necessary hardware was always available. The room was also clean and fresh every morning when we arrived. ... I could go on and on about our experience but I will end by saying that to the last detail, you made us feel important. More importantly, your team, to the last person, made all of us feel at home. Thank you so much for a wonderful four days.

We really had a super time at the Briars – just wanted you to know that.  I thought it was a beautiful property; I think I even met your owner….Mr. Sibbald.  I would love to come back for a personal visit at some time – maybe a girls weekend. The food and service was excellent, please pass on our thanks to everyone!

Dawn Dabarno, Black and McDonald

There aren't enough words to describe what a fantastic event we had at The Briars.  The meeting room was great for the size of my group, the activities were great, the accommodations worked out marvellous and the food was fantastic and lots of it!

From the moment we arrived staff at The Briars were friendly, accommodating, courteous and well, amazing, in a nutshell.  The help I received from everyone really ensured for a smooth event.  My colleagues are still raving about their Briars experience and I am confident in saying the positive impression everyone left with will be everlasting.
