Bourbon Manor Bed & Breakfast Inn

Fantastic B&B in Bardstown close to some of the oldest distilleries. Very welcoming, comfortable and great food and drinks. Fantastic bar in n site which would make an ideal spot for an event weekend with plenty of bourbon and wine tours in the area as well.

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.

From the initial call to book a room, Todd and his staff were fantastic in every way. Friendly and genuinely eager to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The location is awesome if you’re exploring the bourbon trail. The property is wonderfully unique. It’s like stepping back in time without sacrificing comfort. Beautiful and well maintained, all aspects of the property has been carefully planned to the smallest detail. We will be back!

Incredible breakfasts - incredible staff - incredible Happy Hour venue - did I mention our whole stay was incredible? Seriously the best breakfasts we have ever had anywhere. The Barn Bar and bar tender were a great way to end the day. Would highly recommend. Just a short walk to the historic area.

The facility was neat. So much history, but nicely furnished. The food and service were phenomenal. The bartender was far beyond what I would call “handsome.” An Adonis would be more like it.

The Bourbon Manor Bed and Breakfast Inn was AMAZING!! “J” made us feel so welcome and comfortable at the beautiful inn! He went above and beyond, being attentive with all services! And he did a wonderful job advising us of a delicious nightcap each evening! Each morning Todd whipped up an exceptional breakfast!! He, too, was so hospitable and tremendously attentive to detail! My husband and I had a wonderful weekend celebrating our anniversary here!!! We will DEFINITELY return!!
