I had a wonderful experience at the Brinkley Resort during my work trip. The location is perfect for skiing at Mount Hutt, and the rooms were clean and warm, making for a very comfortable stay. The staff went above and beyond to assist us, especially in coordinating our dinner and tracking down a personal item I left behind. However, the mattresses in the rooms could use an upgrade as they felt a bit saggy. Overall, great value for a ski trip!

I had a lovely time at BRINKLEYS, where I enjoyed a clean and tidy room with all the necessary amenities. The attentive service made me feel welcome, even though I was not paying. However, the dining experience was slightly marred by some smoke from the fire while we enjoyed our meal. Overall, it was a fab weekend away, but improvements could be made regarding the facility operations during my visit.

My stay at Brinkley Resort was a mixed experience. The hospitality from Paul and Gayle truly stood out, and their efforts to engage with our kids made our time enjoyable. However, the room did feel basic for the price we paid, especially given our expectations. The location was superb for quick access to skiing and the town, but unfortunately, some amenities were lacking during my visit.

Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed for renovations during our stay, which was disappointing since we expected dining options on-site.

The amenities included a drying room, which was a huge help, especially since it was ski season. However, I felt that additional hooks or space to store ski gear would have been beneficial.

Our stay at Brinkley was quite enjoyable, with clean and warm rooms that made for a cozy retreat after a day on the slopes. The service was friendly and accommodating, though I wish there were more options for larger rooms. The dining experience surpassed our expectations, providing delicious meals with attentive service. However, the room size was a bit cramped, especially for those with larger luggage.

Rooms

The rooms were neat and clean, but quite small, making it tricky to navigate around with larger suitcases. They were warm and comfortable for a ski base, just lacked sufficient space for storage.

I had an incredible experience at Brinkley Village. The accommodation was top-notch with all the amenities one could need for a comfortable stay. The view from our room was breathtaking, and the outdoor facilities were perfectly maintained. Unfortunately, another guest mentioned their room being quite cramped and uncomfortable due to the bed's softness, which may be a consideration for families. Overall, it's an excellent choice for a getaway, especially for nature lovers and ski enthusiasts.
