A side of our venue you may have missed- the North Wing Entrance! Perfect for private portrait sessions, an outdoor shortcut to our Tent in the warmer months, and overall a very scenic side of the property with the Ipswich River visible from the doorway in the winter, and a lush forest view in May through October!

If there's one thing that can make a big impact on your guests, it's the food! We take our in-house catering very seriously, from sourcing the best products, making each element from scratch in our on-site kitchen, and finally making a great impression on our guests when it's time to eat with excellent presentation, flavors, and portions! So the next time you host an event, never underestimate the power of a perfect menu! ⠀

Celebrating traditions is one of our very favorite things at Bramble Hospitality – and this year Willowdale Estate and Briar Barn Inn have even more ways to spread holiday cheer!⠀
✨
Since last December, we opened @briarbarninn, @groverowley and @thespa_rowley. Decorating was just the beginning of our busiest seasons yet, but even though it has been a lot of work, it’s been an absolute pleasure to extend our warm and inviting hospitality to a community of new friends, neighbors, and clients!⠀
✨
We hope you get a chance to join us in celebration soon – with an event at our venue, a stay at our inn, a visit to our restaurant, or a treatment at our spa!⠀

We love seeing some snow day magic! ✨
Thanks to @daneitz for sharing this awesome photo of Ed and Jenny! ❄️
Our team is ready for the snowy season with our own plow, snow blowers, a generator and two dedicated facility team members who take snow removal very seriously. So if you’re hosting a party on a snow day you can relax and enjoy the winter wonderland and we’ll take care of the rest!

Last week our holiday décor went up around Willowdale Estate! Each year everyone pitches in to make the sure the property is ready for the season. ✨
Now until the end of December, guests can enjoy this warm and welcoming festive décor.
You can find wreaths lining our long driveway and adorning our historic windows and doors. White holiday lights are hung on the outdoor and courtyard trees. Greenery, neutral decorations, and candles fill the banisters, mantles, and shelves around the house.

This beautiful cake was the final course at the first Supper Club this year, a warm chocolate cake, with espresso anglaise... Supper Club is our chance to go above and beyond the limits of a catered meal for a large group - and create dishes that will be served just once time, to a small group of adventurous eaters, in one of the rooms in our private mansion. There are just a few tickets left to the FINAL supper club of the year on November 14th!. Would you like a seat at the table? ⠀
