I stayed at the Briar Rose for 3 days and nights in march, and loved it. Kind hearted, friendly, yet relaxed staff & owners, walking distance from downtown, sustainable focus, beautiful meditation room, delicious organic breakfasts, awesome tea selection, computers with wifi, clean, warm and cozy... they even had a bike they let me borrow. Basically if I could have made up my ideal B&B this is what it would be. One example of their generosity was when i was running late for an interview and one of the owners gave me a ride instead of letting me wait for a taxi... things like that just don't happen when staying at big hotels. Thank you Briar Rose for the lovely stay!!

A heartwarming, comfortable, wonderful B&B in a delightful neighborhood. The breakfast was delicious. The staff's warmth should be a model for every B & B. I felt well taken care of.

I've thought of bed and breakfasts as more akin to staying with friends than staying at a hotel. Perhaps they're the capitalistic/enterprising version of CouchSurfing. And as we would overlook the dust bunnies lurking in the corner of your old college roommates third-floor walk-up, I suppose I'm expected to be more understanding of the shortcomings of a B&B. And so I will. The Briar Rose has really great, friendly staff that are, at once, both familiar and professional. That said, it's my opinion people should not be barefoot at work save a few occupational exceptions that don't include innkeeper. As was explained to me, Briar Rose is a zen based business. While I'm not exactly sure what that means (other than the fact that they have a meditation room), I learned they offer no meat products during meals. This might not be important to most, but to me it was alarming. As blood is to a vampire, bacon is to me. Among my traveling companions, there was a vicious (and later debunked) rumor that Briar Rose didn't offer coffee. See what happens when I'm denied bacon? I've never been a fan of that country-styled decor so common with B&Bs. Sadly, Briar Rose is no exception. The rooms are clean, but could use just a bit of updating. Unfortunately, the road and street noise can't be remodeled away. Arapahoe (and to a lesser extent 22nd) are both very busy streets and the noise carries easily into the rooms I visited. The front yard garden can be nice (if they ran a (push) lawnmower through it more often) and the tall hedges enclosing the space block views of the passing cars. However, the road noise can't be masked. As a result, visitors shouldn't expect to relax in the garden. But they do have wifi, just like my old roommate's flat.

I am quite well-rested from the comfy bed and still quite sated from the ample breakfast. Briar Rose, for the win! The decor is like a stay at Grandma's place (if Grandma were a librarian and knew how to tastefully display her china collection). Books abound in the main living room and hallway. There were at least t ten in my room alone. I wish I had more time to explore and read. The location is perfect - Pearl Street is definitely walkable. However, if you'd rather hang out at The Briar Rose, they have plenty of seating areas - large and small - indoors and out (and clearly, plenty of books to read). The best part, however, were the people. I arrived late at night and was greeted by a letter welcoming me and explaining (in crystal clear detail) how to find my room. Throughout my (brief) stay, everyone was all smiles. Oh, and free cookies in the dining room all day long - these people know the way to my heart.

Great place to stay. Very close to pearl street. The breakfast was fun. The only thing that was not perfect was the heat. The heater was not that strong and it was below 0. But they did give us a space heater we would definitely recommend this place.
(4)Rhea B.
Nice inn in a residential area very close to the fun Pearl St. downtown shops and restaurants. My room was comfortable, and the rest of the house was beautifully decorated and cozy. Some of the young workers could have been more personable.

We were so pleased with our stay at Briar Rose. The staff was wonderful and accommodating! The tea and coffee were so good and the breakfasts were filling and wonderful. We especially loved the vanilla yogurt with granola! Our room, Teakettle, was small but comfortable and we had a back door that lead to the rear parking area which was so convenient. Breakfast in the sunroom was so nice. Will be back!

This is the best place to stay in Boulder ..... We have very high expectations when we go on vacation and this amazing bed and breakfast is the most lux and relaxing place we have been..... The whole place is beautiful and the folks who run the establishment are practicing Buddhists so that gives briar rose a very welcoming atmosphere. We stayed in the Huron room and the bed was soft with fluffy pillows.... We had a private balcony over looking the courtyard, which was beautifully landscaped, we had tea service and some meals there and it was wonderful .... Our room had a private jacuzzi which was a great relaxing extra for us. If you love classy and environmentally friendly you have to stay here !!!!

The Briar Rose is a hidden treasure! It is close to shopping and restaurants, and an easy location as a center point for sightseeing, hiking and biking. The staff is very accommodating, efficient and informative. The rooms are clean and cozy. They have wonderful breakfasts and cater to dietary needs and restrictions. We loved our stay here and highly recommend Brar Rose.

LOVED this place. Excellent tea selecting and service with a great location to the university and shopping. We had good parking and enjoyed our quaint and cozy room. I sort of felt they were stingy with breakfast, it was like the owners told the service staff to be sure not to waste ANYTHING, which I agree with, but at the same time a satiating breakfast is important to begin a full day of exploring. There were cookies and breads out all day, which sort of makes up for that. I also wish where was non dairy creamer for my coffee, which a place like this (Zen focused) should have... They did have soy milk, but for coffee that doesn't cut it! In any event, I would definitely go back (and bring my own creamer). I recommend this wonderful little place to anyone wanting to explore Boulder or enjoy Zen meditation.

What a delightful find! I stumbled across the Briar Rose and loved every minute of my stay. The selection of teas, the homemade cookies and breads, the zen room, my room, my tub, my separate entrance, my duthe hospitality, everything made my stay in Boulder most enjoyable. 5 stars all the way!!!!!!
(5)Alden G.
I enjoyed my stay at the Briar Rose. A quiet and easy B&B to get comfortable and settle in. Meet other travelers at breakfast; meditation room, tea and cookies. Pleasant place to stay.

Came here with my CU Boulder student. Comfortable room, very attentive staff and delicious breakfast. We enjoyed having tea after running around Boulder all day. The selection and presentation of teas are wonderful. I will be back!
(5)Amrita K.
I was visiting Boulder just for the day and needed a location to stash my bags for the afternoon and get picked up by the airport shuttle. Attracted to the beautiful garden, and quiet location I stopped by, hopeful that the staff would be accommodating! Lily, was gracious and wonderful. She offered us a place to leave our bags and we waited for the shuttle in their beautiful gardens! The premises are soothing and I will definitely stay here the next time Im in Boulder.

Staff is excellent. Nice room. Clean although bath jets could have been cleaner. Stayed in Huron room. Never had breakfast.ends too early -- 10 weekends and 9 weekdays. Would stay again but don't plan to have breakfast unless you are a early riser.
(4)Sam G.
Very good B&B experience. The breakfast was a bit to healthy for us. Great shortbread cookies.
(4)Wholewheatwaffle S.
Wonderful and relaxing experience. The staff was welcoming and incredibly friendly. The room (I think we stayed in Blanca) was super cute and had a fireplace that was already prepared to be started when we arrived. They have a wonderful selection of high quality teas and an incredible breakfast (come hungry!).. Most comfortable bed EVER.... Near Pearl St (close enough to walk but not in heels...) :)

I'm just trying to get the word out. This place like everyone has already stated is incredible. You cannot go wrong with Briar Rose. The staff, the atmosphere, everything makes for an excellent time.
(5)David C.
We were in the Huron room. It has an awesome Jacuzzi but the room is cramped. The bed was creaky and the walls were thin. Seems like a perfect room for a single person who wants to meditate in the bath tub.

A must-stay for anyone traveling to Boulder! There are so many small touches to this place that make you feel at ease. When you check in, you get your choice of green, black or herbal teas. You may also run into a super cute guy (one of the staff) prepping for the next morning's organic breakfast. The rooms are comfy and have a/c, with a sprig of wildflowers on the bedstand. They're also environmentally conscious -- the amazing breakfast is all-organic, and they use environmentally-safe products. And yes, there's free wifi around the whole property!

This place is a hidden gem. Total surprise - in an awesome way. My room was adorable and the place is really cute. The staff is laid back, relaxed and helpful. Breakfast is DELICIOUS. Furthermore, as random guests came down to sit around the large nice breakfast table, so many fabulous conversations and connections emerged. I came to Boulder for a job interview. When I got to the interview location, I was honestly so relaxed and I think it had everything to do with the Briar Rose. Will definitely stay again. Small suggestions: staff should know a) the bus routes/stops a bit better (especially since that is sustainable transport and goes with its sustainability concept) and 2) some local areas to eat. However, everything else more than makes up for that. The kind people; complimentary use of computer and printer; filtered water all day; 25 types of tea; "tea trays"; homemade breads granola and cookies. I left feeling rejuvenated even though I came for a stressful interview!

Briar Rose gets five stars, hands down. It combines the comfort of an old style New England inn with a zen attitude. Homeade breakfast, zen meditation offered every morning, incredible location, and a staff that aims to take care of you (and I mean really take care of you). I feel at home here; whether in my bedroom, garden, or living room. Morning is a delight, in which the kitchen provides an unending array of treats, from organic vegetable scrabble finished off with garden fresh chives to homeade breads and cookies. The rooms are simple and beautiful, as is the zen way. I would highly reccomend joining in on the zazen meditation each morning at 6 AM. It is an incredible way to start your day, and while you are here, why not try it!

Homey, comfy inn. The decor is mostly unpretentious. I say 'mostly' because I found their zen meditation and eco-green routines something of a gimmick. even so, these displays are not so ostentatious as to be distracting. And for a B&B, it's not fussy or dowdy. Despite its traditional furnishings, it is firmly planted in modernity. They have two public computers and a printer for its guests; plus, the whole house is wifi-ready. The bed is very comfortable -- plush pillows and airy cotton sheets. I usually don't sleep well on my first night of arrival, but at the Briar Rose, I zonked out even after consuming a whole pot of tea. Oh, and that reminds me: for an inn, their tea selection is *awesome*. You can also request gourmet hot chocolate. I thoroughly enjoyed my pot of spicy Mexican chocolate. The breakfast is good, but not fabulous. You can expect: organic everything. They also bake their own granola, which is kind of nice. The egg dishes were more cooked than I liked. Of the five mornings I spent there, my favorite was their pancakes. The inn is conveniently located, within walking distance to the Colorado University campus (though it involves going up a pretty steep hill), and the Pearl St., a pedestrian shopping/restaurant area. Overall, I was happy with my stay at the Briar Rose. If I were in Boulder again, I'd definitely stay there; however, I'm not in love with the inn enough to travel there just for the inn.

I've been to a fair share of bed and breakfasts so I've come to expect a certain level of warmth and invitation from innkeepers and staff. Unfortunately, the Briar Rose staff appears to be a bunch of college kids who haven't been trained to make guests feel welcome. Pluses: the rooms are comfortable and nice enough, cookies & tea are available most of the time (though staff was not always friendly when asked to make tea). the sitting room is nice and was usually empty the 5 days we were there. the office stuff and free wifi was handy (business trip). Minuses: the cookies were so so (except for one batch of great shortbread that the staff said were "overcooked" though it was obviously a totally different recipe from the other shortbread cookies in the jar), they didn't clean the bathroom every day!, at breakfast, service was TERRIBLE. Sometimes they would forget to offer you stuff and then made you ask for it even as they offered it to the other people sitting at the table. And they wouldn't accommodate our "early" morning meetings and make us the promised egg dishes 15 minutes before they normally would be serving them. And their touted "amazing" breakfast egg dish was a simple scramble of eggs that they threw some ingredients into without thinking about how they melded. One morning the night staff forgot to tell the morning staff that they had okayed us to have breakfast 15 minutes early and we got some attitude when we sat down. What kind of hospitality is that? On their website, the describe how close the place is to a great running trail and yet none of the staff I asked were able to tell me how to get to the trail. One woman explained that she "was new", but didn't offer to go find the information for me. B&Bs are all about the food and the service, that's why we pay more to stay at them. This place just didn't come through for us.
