Darren is a fabulous host. Incredibly friendly, outgoing and informative. His property is beautiful he he does an amazing job of making you feel at home. He provided us with recommendations to a fabulous restaurant and recommended that we make time to stroll the waterfront, which we did and were so happy we did! We already have plans to stay at The Briers Country house again.
