Highly Recommend!!!

So glad we went here for our mini getaway! Definitely a unique place to stay. Room was great and we got to tour other areas in and around the castle. David is a great host and we enjoyed talking with him! Going to try and make it back up for the festival this fall.

An enjoyable stay

The atmosphere is awesome if you like the medieval effect. It can be intimidating if you're more into elegant luxury or shy. The rooms were clean had electricity and the hosts were great. The bed was very large and comfortable. There are many areas to explore on the large property. Some areas are under renovation.

Amazing experience

Birdsell Castle exceeded all expectations we had. So much detail had been put into this castle. We were beyond mesmerized. It is very much a labor of love. David, Aaron & Jill are good people. They are so kind and very accommodating. We can’t wait to return in the warmer season and experience the festivities.
