“Briarwood Inn presents a charming, cottage-style stay right in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea; the location is ideal for those keen on exploring the town's shops and restaurants on foot. I appreciate that it manages to offer family-sized suites alongside cozy rooms for couples, with the added perk of gas fireplaces to warm up the evenings. The complimentary breakfast and afternoon sherry add a thoughtful touch, making it a solid choice for a relaxed visit.”
