How do I instruct my guests to book a room within our room block?
Guests can call our Front Desk at 978-653-5323, and mention that they are part of a Room Block or use your Group Code online to reserve a room within your room block at least 60 days prior to the check-in, the sooner the better!
How soon can my guests book their rooms?
Room reservations are accepted up to 12 months in advance.
Can my dog stay at the inn?
No. Unfortunately, all pets (with the exception of service dogs), are not allowed on the property.
Do you pre-assign rooms?
When booking your room, you will select your preferred room type. However, we do not pre-assign specific rooms.
Do you offer a discounted room rate for setting up a group block?
No. With a limited number of rooms in our inventory, we cannot offer a discount on our room rates.

As soon as possible! Rooms are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Reservations are accepted up to 12 months in advance.
Can I check in early for my wedding weekend?
Early check-in is not guaranteed but can be requested in advance. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm. and checkout time is 11 am. During periods of high occupancy, group rooms may not be available upon arrival. Rooms will be made available for group check-in as soon as possible.
Do I have to specify room types within my group block?
Yes. We ask that you select the quantity of each room type that you’d like to set aside for your guests.
Can we have an after-party?
We value the experience of all of our guests and will enforce quiet hours after 11 pm Friday-Sunday. Common areas are open to all Inn guests and will be monitored by our staff. In the event that noise levels disturb other guests, Inn staff will respond, evaluate the situation and take corrective action immediately. Alcoholic beverages from our mini bars may be consumed in individual guest rooms. All alcohol consumed on the property must be provided by Briar Barn Inn, and we do not allow self-catering or self-service of alcoholic beverages from a third-party location.
Can I create a room block less than 60 days prior to the check-in date?
Any room block requests within 60 days of the check-in date will be considered definite.
Do you offer rollaway beds and portable cribs?
Yes, we do! Rollaway beds are charged at $50.00 per night and can be requested for King Suites and Grand King Suites only based on availability (4 total). Cribs are $25 per stay, but due to limited inventory and availability, this request is not guaranteed to be available. (2 total).
Will you honor rates from third-party booking agencies?
Rates on our website and booking engines will fluctuate and change throughout the year. Discounts, promotions and/or rate changes cannot be applied to existing room block rates.
Are my guests required to pay a deposit when booking their rooms?
All guest reservations must be guaranteed with a one-night deposit upon booking.
Can I provide welcome bags for my guests?
Yes! Welcome bags are accepted with proper notice and can be distributed at check-in as long as they are received 48 hours prior to your guests’ arrival.
