The history of the jai
Breakfast was outside, conditions were unsanitary (pet rabbit poop was everywhere, ants all over the breakfast tables. We did not eat the morning breakfast. Parking for elderly or handicap folks is very bad.
It was cozy and clean. Breakfast was great! The tour of the old jail was so fun and interesting. Host was friendly and welcoming.
I have no complaints .
I had a wonderful experience at the inn. There was nothing to complain about. The room was comfortable and nicely decorated and the breakfast was excellent. The tour was fun and interesting. I will definitely have to stay again in the future!
The breakfast was great..homemade and different each morning. Lovely staff. We had a historical tour of the Jail after breakfast which was cool. This is a very historical site. There are resident bunnies which are really cute.The location is prime. We literallly walked next door (Tavern Inn) and then across the street (Mammies) for wonderful dinners. There are many cute shops, bakeries, a drugstore, liquor stores right there by the inn.
Breakfast was EXCELLENT. The owner, Paul, served us personally out in the courtyard. The weather was great, and their rabbits are very entertaining, running around the yard the whole time. We stayed in the nautical room, which is huge. There's a study, a common area & private bathroom. There's a tour & history given after chow. It's very informative & interesting. You're right in the heart of town, and Bardstown is very walkable & safe. Lots of restaurants, shops & bars just minutes away on foot. We will definitely stay here again.
I didn't like the fact that I didn't book for 2 nights. What did I know?
Learning the history of the building was very interesting. The breakfast was great. Home baked cookies in the evening were delicious.
The breakfast was wonderful the owner/host was awesome and the tour of the jail after breakfast was great the room was very comfortable and relaxing definitely will going again in the future
The location was great, the breakfast was delicious but most of all the “family” staff were wonderful…so accommodating, especially the 7am coffee right outside our door.
All of it. Staff was excellent and John was a friendly great host. Breakfast was good and the tour of the original jail and history lesson all ended a very enjoyable stay.
If I had to name anything it would be parking. To be expected because of location, but still inconvenient.
The breakfast was excellent. It was fresh and delicious. Paul, the owner was very gracious and welcoming. You could tell he cared about his guests. We enjoyed our tour of the jail. The location of the property was perfect for us. We were a block away from the shops and restaurants and we enjoyed walking to them many times during our stay. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay very much!
Paul is definitely in the right business, he’s amazing! The room was big, furnished beautifully. The bed so comfortable. Breakfast in the courtyard was excellent as was the jail tour.
Love the history and the friendly staff! Very good breakfast as well!!
I don't have any bad comments
Lovely room in a unique venue. The jail in the back of the building and its history were fascinating. The breakfast was excellent and the staff very accommodating. The location in the center of town was perfect.
Flexible breakfast time would have been nice.
