Good, clean room adjacent to the Talbott Tavern. Complementary made to order breakfast was served each morning. Our room also had a nice jetted tub for two with complimentary coffee, water, refrigerator and microwave. Who could ask more? Even the mattress was perfect!

Just an overnighter but we lucked into the Jesse James room! Comes with its own museum about James’s time in Bardstown. Our room was nicely updated and we’re pretty sure (at least my wife was) Jesse’s ghost was rattling our door after midnight! Nice restaurant and bar all inside the inn, which was a good thing on a rainy day.

Beautiful spacious room. Quiet location and fun little town. Can’t say enough great things about the hotel. The free breakfast was nothing to write home about. Much better choices within walking distance of the inn and worth paying the extra price.

Friendly helpful staff, spotless room, comfortable bed. We stayed in the Lincoln room near the balcony and it was so cool. Close to the road so there is street noise but we were able to sleep well. Excellent singer in the bar the restaurant had a varied menu with some local specialties. Recommend the fried green tomatoes and shepherds pie! Loved staying in such a historic building.
