Location - just an hour's drive north of Toronto on a large property along the south side of Lake Simcoe. Pretty and scenic area. Accommodations - I was there for work with about 20 others. We occupied most of the cottages where most of them are right on the lake. The cottages sleep anywhere from 2 to 8 people (I... More

Very comfortable resort. They offer spa services which is a real treat for weary travelers. Thier food and overall service was excellent. We were on their American plan, which we thought was a very good value.

Came to The Brairs for a solo weekend by myself. It is the perfect spot for relaxation and rejuvenation. I had a wonderful time at the spa it is clean everyone is friendly but kind of simple. The service is immaculate everyone is so nice and knowledgeable and ready to help at any moment. The grounds and surrounding trails are... More

My mom, aunt and I stayed at the Briars about a week ago and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were wonderful, the spa services were very relaxing but I have to say that the food was simply outstanding! Everything we ate was delicious from the salads through to the dessert. I particularly enjoyed the beef medallions for dinner. Your... More

I've just returned from yet another weekend at The Briars. It's one of my favourite places to visit and have returned many times. The comfort of the rooms and overall ambiance is so relaxing, and the beds are the best I've found in my travels. Throughout my 6 years, spring and fall, we've had various room accommodations at the lodge,... More

The staff are amazing and bend over backwards to help at all times. The food is fantastic. We have been going to the Briars twice a year for many years (14?) and they have never failed us. Long walks in the woods or by the water, or play golf or swim in their indoor or outdoor pools (2). Have a... More

I have been to the Briar's twice now for business training courses through our company. It is a great place and ideal for smaller conferences of about 15 people or so. The Briar's is a unique, old-style Ontario cottage country resort and it is charming. I suppose some people would say that's it is dated but I really don't view... More

I am a regular visitor to the Briars and have just returned from another glorious stay. I have experienced many other resorts of this nature and can say that The Briars is by far the most tranquil, relaxing and rejuvenating spa/resort I have been to. The staff are so accommodating and the services at the spa as well as the... More
