About this property

SWEET BRIAR IN THE VINES - CLARE


Sweet Briar in the Vines is an original, turn of the century, renovated stone cottage- located on the Sweet Briar Vineyard- Home of O'DWYER WINES

The location is ideal - just a few minutes drive North of Clare town with the Riesling Trail passing by the entrance to the property , and picturesque country views in every direction.

The cottage is comprised of 4 bedrooms- 1 King and 3 Queen, with an annexe off one of the queens, containing 1 single bed ( + a fold out bed) suitable for children.

A country style eat-in kitchen forms the centre of this quaint yet roomy cottage which flows out on to a leafy verandah - ideal for barbequing and outdoor entertaining.

The more recently added living /dining room is very spacious with reverse cycle air conditioning and features a wood burning stove - perfect for cosy nights in, with a glass of local wine.

There are two renovated bathrooms, sympathetically restored in the period and style of the cottage..

The country style kitchen has been remodelled and comprises modern fitted kitchen cabinets , complete with dishwasher and a large modern gas cooker with 6 burners and an electric oven. Its stylish finish has all the benefits of a modern kitchen but still with a country kitchen feel.

All the comforts of home - nestled in the heart of Clare Valley wine country.

About the host

Hosted by Judith O'Dwyer

Host profile image
We are a couple who have lived abroad for a number years in various countries from Ireland , UK, France, Belgium to US and now settled in Australia since 2004. We love travel, good food, good wine, art, music, family, friends and fun!
We fell in love with Sweet Briar the moment we set eyes on it!
It has been a joy to spend time here over the years and our four kids have had such fun exploring the country side on many a happy holiday in Clare.

Why they chose this property

On a family road trip around the south eastern corner of Australia shortly after our arrival here from the States, we stumbled upon Sweet Briar on an over night stay in Clare.
We didn't choose it- It chose us!
Couldn't get the cottage with its circular drive and wrap around verandas - quaint gardens and beautiful vineyard out of our minds.
A month later Sweet Briar was ours and we have enjoyed restoring and improving it ever since.

What makes this property unique

Not only was Sweet Briar an authentic piece of period architecture, being an original stone cottage with bull nose verandas , wisteria dripping from them and beautiful thick cottage walls, but this little gem was only a 5 minute drive into Clare town. All the peace and serenity of the remote country side , with the convenience of an easy drive into town.
Top that off with the famous Riesling Trail - accessed at the top of our drive and you've got it all!
Star lit skies at night are the icing on the cake!!
