Found Braircliff online and booked after reading the rave reviews. We were not disappointed. Not immediately obvious from the road, Braircliff is stylishly decorated with spacious, clean rooms and an inviting communal area. From the outset, Clare and Richard were superb hosts: very responsive to email inquiries, a warm welcome upon our arrival and a valuable source of local information.... More

A surprise at the end of our stay in Massachusetts, the Briarcliff is beautifully furnished and run with style by Clare and Richard. The rooms are extremely comfortable and have a homely feel to them you don't find that often, making for a very relaxing stay in Great Barrington. The breakfasts were a delicious way to start the day, with... More

Recently found Briarcliff online when I needed a one night stay in the Berkshires. I chose it because of the location, photos, and primarily all of the positive revews. I wasn't disappointed. The room was immaculate with funky 1960's touches here and there. Clare and Richard were charming and very helpful. Best of all were maple scones, banana bread, and... More

Tastefully appointed, large and clean rooms. Very friendly staff. Delicious pastries included in their continental breakfast. Extremely convenient location for Berkshire Mountains driving tours. I would definitely stay here again, and would not hesitate to recommend it.

The room was very comfortable and the owners and staff were exceptionally accomodating. They were happy to provide wine glasses, a corkscrew, and a knife. They even got a tray and offered to deliver it to the room. The included breakfast of homemade muffins, scones, and granola was A+.

Our experience at Briarcliff could not have been more delightful. The innkeepers, Claire and Richard, were incredibly helpful, charming hosts -- without in any way being overbearing. The room was clean and smartly appointed. All of the details were thoughtful and aesthetically pleasing. Everything was pristinely clean. Breakfast was delicious. The setting was gorgeous. And the room was reasonable, on... More

A 1950's style US motel with a very modern, trendy feel. The rooms are spotless, with the biggest, best beds you could hope to sleep in. Breakfast is available in the wonderfully laid out communal area - in the summer this area will be even better with access to the grounds at the back. Clare's scones and muffins are delicious....

It's hard to compare the Briarcliff with other places to stay in Great Barrington, because there simply isn't another place anything like it. There are the requisite chain motels and New Englandy B&Bs, but Briarcliff is a one off. The rooms are clean, modern, slightly spartan, and comfortable. This is a 1950's strip motel that has been reclaimed to be... More
