Bourbon Manor Bed & Breakfast Inn

We will definitely be coming in again to stay here! Such a lovely property with the most delicious breakfast! Todd is such a welcoming host and we adored him! Also our bed was so comfortable!

Jujuan and Todd were exceptionally welcoming and helpful, allowing us to check in early and assisting with our luggage. The Bourbon Manor boasts a rich history and an inviting ambiance. The bed was comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious!

My husband and I stayed in the ground floor master distillers den at the Bourbon Manor for two nights this week as we were attending a monthly supper club dinner at Jim Beam Distillery. The room itself was lovely and very nicely appointed. Beware the bathroom is very tiny. Fortunately we are not large people so we made the best of it. Upon arrival there was a sign on the manor door to check in at the black building where the bar is. We were checked in by the very nice bartender who informed us that we could lot park near our room as our Lincoln Navigator was too big and we have to park over by the.Bar after we unloaded. This was the first issue. Although it clearly states on the website breakfast is served at 8:30 and 9:30, the bartender said they were serving at 9 AM. As this would not work for us with our schedule we requested breakfast at 8:30 as the website stated. He said he’d advise the kitchen but when my husband went over there at 8:10 to check on that, he was told they hadn’t been advise of our need by the bartender. Unfortunately we were served at 9:00, so we didn’t get the opportunity to enjoy much of the lovely breakfast and were ultimately late for our appointment. This was the second issue. The next morning my husband drove the car over to our room to load up before breakfast and when we drove our car back to our designated spot by the bar there was someone else parked there, so we parked on the gravel across from it. As we started walking toward the manor for our breakfast a man came out to the front of the building and literally started screaming at us that we were blocking his driveway and we responded that we didn’t see any driveway and he went nuts saying we were rude and to move our car immediately. It was a very strange encounter as the man who said he was the owner continued to scream at us. This was the third issue … three strikes and you’re out! At this point we felt very unwelcome and decided we better skip our breakfast and get out of there before the confrontation got worse. We are 77 year old seniors and very non confrontational, do safer for us to just quietly exit. What started as a nice experience, ended very badly. Unfortunately, we didn’t feel like we got our $600. worth and certainly did not appreciate the verbal abuse from one of the “owners”. Based on our encounter I certainly would not recommend staying here.

The owners graciously let us exchange our gift certificate for another package and we stayed 2 nights. Each morning Todd greeted us to a sit down Southern breakfast - it was a feast. The grounds are beautiful and the Mint Julep room was very nice with a jetted tub and separate shower. The surprise was the building out back - a huge fully stocked bar and patio - with a bartender. It was wonderful not to have to drive but just walk across the driveway …

If you like historic buildings and are looking for a sweet getaway in Bardstown, KY this is a great place to stay. Lots of period appropriate pieces to compliment a historic house without losing comfort or convenience. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Jojuan and Todd were great hosts and very knowledgeable. Morning breakfast was served at our choice of 8:30 am or 9:30 am and it was delicious. I went with my spouse for a short weekend to do the dinner train which is only an 8 minute walk down the street. We just loved how cozy it felt and would love to stay there again.

Incredible historic buildings. Hidden gem Bourbon bar and engaging bar tender. Better than the dedicated tasting rooms. Close to town and all attractions. Super friendly and accommodating hosts. Stately rooms. Scrumptious and filling breakfast.
