loved our stay at the Talbott Inn. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive when we asked for suggestions on what to do in the area. I would definitely stay at the Talbott again. We loved the old architecture and history of the Tavern and took time to download the app that was informative of its history.

From the moment we walked, we knew this was a special place. Our room was spacious, bed was comfortable, and bathroom was pristine. We also enjoyed the breakfast each morning. The location of this inn is perfect, walking distance to downtown, bars, shops, restaurants. Don’t miss dining in the restaurant for dinner, that was a lovely experience too.

The property was excellent, but Talbott Inn Probably needs to mention something about hearing Live Entertainment below rooms 4,5,& 6 while making arrangements. Other than being loud underneath theses rooms, the stay was great. The location was perfect. The balcony is worth the stay as well.

Bardstown is a pretty little community and the people are very friendly. The Inn and Tavern are well-maintained. We stayed on the second floor in front of the building. A gorgeous room with lots of wall outlets. Clean. Large. The street noise was horrible. Every truck or car had a huge muffler that sounded like it was in the room with us. They do supply a white noise machine but this could not compete with the noise. The Inn is pretty but the noise was a deal-breaker. Noise continued throughout the night. Food at the tavern was good and the staff were very sweet. The breakfast that was included in cost of room was good. Overall a wonderful gem but the traffic noise ruined the experience.

Staff was friendly and told us our room could be noisey due to it being right over bar but should quite down after 11. The noise from bar did , but not from the outside. Street noise and possibly church bells (staff guess when told them) , but really didn’t sound like bells, continued way into the night. The breakfast was just ok. We ordered the traditional. Over easy eggs were greasy, cubed potatoes ( small portion ) and biscuit (only 1 per plate) were hard and cold. Coffee, juice and cereal were self serve. The Hotel was convenient to downtown shops and parking was easy.
