We stayed at the Red Rose Inn for my husband’s Birthday. It is very quaint and the hosts are amazing. They had charcuterie out for us when we arrived and a delicious breakfast in the morning. The house is a block from all that downtown Bardstown has of offer. I highly recommend staying here!

The Red Rose Inn is a lovely bed and breakfast located in the center of Bardstown. Great location for exploring Abraham Lincoln's birthplace, Churchill Downs, and the beautiful countryside. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was delicious both mornings of our stay. We enjoyed our stay at the Red Rose Inn, and hope to return in the future.

Wonderful stay at a historic home circa 1817!

David & Susan we’re very welcoming and made every effort to ensure our stay was enjoyable and memorable. David helped us with our luggage which was unexpected but greatly appreciated. Breakfast was wonderful…not just because of the wonderful home cooked meal, big because it allowed time for talking with other guests as well as David and Susan. We heard many stories about Bardstown and about the bourbon trail experiences! Just wonderful!!

Rose Red Inn B&B was a wonderful stay. Rooms are clean, and owners are hospitable and eager to make sure everyone is comfortable and have what they need. They serve a delicious breakfast with ample servings. They also have snacks and drinks available at any time. A charcuterie board for afternoon snacking.
