About this cottage rental
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.

Five stars to our host Judith. Kept us in the loop over a small fire outbreak close by .. her continued contact was so re assuring for us..until the fire was under control later that night. our accommodation was brilliant.. surrounded by a vineyard…On arrival it was a very hot 🥵 day 43 degrees As soon as we opened the front door, we were welcomed by a refreshing coolness.. AC excellent I must say. The home had perfumed diffusers, and smelt wonderful. This stay is truly loved. Beautiful art work and artefacts everywhere. We appreciated the vintage and antique furniture, and decor in keeping with this 100 year old cottage. A cottage with an extension of a lounge come tv room and dining, at the back of home was a pleasant surprise. As was a welcome bottle of their own Shiraz Breakfast was supplied for our stay.. a true full English style .. much to the delight of my English husband ..The information book, was very informative. Plenty to do if you wish to do a food and wine trail .. as we did. The only thing I probably would say, I wished the outside seating area, had been dusted of cobwebs on the walls and seating. As I’m not good with spiders. Overall one of the loveliest stays in a few years. Thankyou Judith for sharing this property.

Sweet Briar in the Vines is the perfect base for exploring Clare especially if your group comprises a number of couples.The property is just out of Clare and ideally located next to the Reisling Trail for ready access to everything that the Clare Valley can offer. Each bedroom is air-conditioned and the kitchen and living spaces are ideal for a relaxed break.
