A very unique place to stay. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. I was able to park on the street in front of the inn most of the time. But one day the parking lot was full and I had to park across the street and thru a stop light. We enjoyed our stay. Carpets need to be replaced or cleaned.

Absolutely enjoyed our four-night stay at the Jailer’s Inn—great location with several great restaurants and taverns close by. The Bourbon Trail with several world-renowned distilleries, is also close by. Paul, the owner, and all his staff were extremely welcoming. The breakfast each morning was delicious. Private parking is available too!! A definite place to enjoy Bardstown and take in the area's history. We will be back!!

Our one night stay in the Colonial was great, took you back in time. The staff were so friendly, especially Paul (owner) who loves to tell the history of the jail and providing a tour. The breakfast in the courtyard was so delicious and quite filling! We will definitely stay there again. Thank you Paul and staff!
