The experience is so cute and was actually sold out when we went. They offer two types of teas, some sandwiches and sweets, and then Prosecco and Pimm's Cup if you opt for the Tea Royale ticket! The venue itself is beautiful and we were able to explore the upstairs and downstairs after we finished our tea. Would absolutely recommend for Mother's Day, a bachelorette activity, or a fun event to do with friends.

The owner also brought along one of his grandsons so my son had some company too as they fed the animals etc... a very nice gesture there ... While we were there for the first time my son paddled a boat, caught a fish, roasted marshmallows, threw a lasso, used a bow and arrow, slingshot, BB rifle, Henry rifle, 6 shooter, and Atlatl. Pretty much ticked all the boxes for my 13 year old boy for sure, not too mention fun for me too. Highly recommended.

Over all my family loved it here and would recommend it not only for big engagements but personal getaways as well.

The service by the caretakers was outstanding, friendly and helpful. The accommodations in this 5400 square feet home were five star. This facility sits on 17 acres and has 2 stocked ponds. This facility also has an entertainment/media room and a third floor"man cave'. This is by far the best bed and breakfast that I have stayed at (including two others). Also, the cost per night was less than the other 2. I have been " a walking commercial" for this facility in my travels since I left. My family and I plan to return to this facility as soon as possible

My wife and I stayed there on our wedding night 9 years ago and had nothing but fond memories. So…read moreas a treat I surprised her with a night at the McBirney after the hustle and bustle of Christmas. You can check in at 3 and we were there shortly after that. We were promptly greeted by a staff member who checked us in and issued us keys to our room and the mansion itself. The mansion was as nice as we remembered, some of the rooms had been remodeled but they still maintained the charm of the place. We stayed in the "Room with a View" and it was very nice. It had a king size bed and a nice tub made for two. If you decide to use the shower be careful I flooded the bathroom before I realized it. The way the tub was installed if the shower water hits a wall it runs around the tub edge and runs out on the floor. They had a large tray of cookies in the hall with coffee, tea, and bottled water. I took one bite from the cookie and threw it out, it was burned on the bottom. The next morning breakfast is only served from 8-9, we had a choice of french toast or scrambled eggs for the breakfast. My wife and I both chose the eggs. They were just two scrambled eggs served with bacon, and a piece of toast. It was just what is sounded like eggs and bacon nothing special about them. We did have a carafe of orange juice that gave each of us about a glass and a half but they never offered to refill it for us. Their website advertises an evening social time with appetizers and refreshments, when I asked about it I was told they weren't doing them anymore. The only reason I gave the place 3 stars is because of how nice and relaxing the rooms are. The staff was nice but I wouldn't have called them friendly and I don't feel like I was being treated as a special guest. I have had better staff treatment at the Holiday Inns I stay in while traveling for work. We enjoyed our evening together but it really wasn't because of the bed and breakfast. i don't think we will be returning to the McBirney.

All I can say is that you pay Cadillac prices, but are given a Yugo. I could have taken my 56 dinner guests to Flemings, had a better meal and paid less! There was an overwhelming sense of disorganization and apathy on the part of the staff...when you could find them! Upon returning to the mansion after the wedding, several of my guests found themselves locked out because their keys would not operate the lock. They stood out in the cold and banged on the door until another guest heard them to let them inside! ( Where was the staff?) When brought to the attention of the staff the following morning, we learned that this was not the first time a guest had been locked out....only no one cared enough to fix the problem. I suppose apologizing is cheaper and easier. Lovely decor and well appointed rooms can only go so far........

But this year, my significant other decided at the last minute to join me. While separately searching, we both found this gem, BarDew Valley Inn! And what a find it was! The owner, Perry, was exceptionally accommodating to us and the other guests. Our room, New Orleans, was absolutely stunning! The daily 9 am breakfasts were prepared with care and incredibly scrumptious. The house was beautiful and nightly movie nights in the Theater always the best way to top off the day. Thank you Perry for an extraordinary experience.

Perry is a wonderful, sociable, hospitable innkeeper!…read more BarDew Valley Inn is about 7-8 miles outside the Bartlesville city limits, about 45 minutes north of Tulsa and near the pioneer woman headquarters, for those who are into that. There are several themed suites. I stayed in the New York suite, which was a cleaner, more modern feel with several NYC motifs. There is also a New Orleans suite, a cowboy suite, and a French suite. He is currently working on an Asian themed suite. Each suite has its own bath and private entrance, as well as patio space to enjoy the evenings. There is wooded space and a pond out front with sitting areas. Very quiet and on a dead end, so no traffic. The rooms have comfy beds, wonderful, luxurious bedding, and a mattress warmer, which I loved! Each room has a refrigerator and Perry supplies bottled water, a keurig, coffee pods, glasses/cups, an ice bucket, extra blankets. A booklet with info on local restaurants and attractions. Everything you'd need! While I stayed here for work and kept to myself, Perry checked in with me often to make sure I didn't need anything. Other guests used the common areas more, like the movie room/game room and the kitchen. One night Perry built a fire in the fire pit. It would be a great place for people who want to socialize and meet new folks. Perry also makes breakfast every morning. I had to start work very early, so didn't partake, but other guests have raved about it. Perry really does open his home up to everyone and is very gregarious and gracious. It would be a great getaway for anyone wanting to explore the area. My suite was 139 a night, a great value.

Duke has carved out in 1 mile trail at the back of the property. It was a nice leisurely walk after such a long drive.

Gail asked what type of breakfast we wanted in the morning and asked what time we would like it prepared. This place is PERFECT!!
