Bourbon Manor Bed & Breakfast Inn, a Bardstown Boutique Hotel

This B&B was perfect for a short trip we had to make. This place dates back to 1820 and it was like stepping back into time the furniture perfect. You'll fall in love with the staircase and the beds. Very comfortable. The breakfast was top notch better than you can get at some of the best restaurants. When I come back to this area. This is my place where I will stay every time. The staff was very friendly and helpful and everything was perfect. There were a few minor hipcups but not enough to ruin the stay. For example, the TV was not hooked to the internet but it was okay. I was too tired to watch anyway.

Really cool manor, built in the early 1800's. There are multiple buildings to stay in with a variety of rooms. We stayed in the Manhattan Honeymoon Hideaway. Quite a bit more privacy. The room was huge, with a monster bedroom, with fireplace, kitchen and very large bathroom. There is also a great bar in another building that serves amazing cocktails. The real highlight was the breakfast, it was worth the stay all by itself...truly memorable and amazing! The staff was on point and catered to your every need. The only negative for the entire stay, was the stairs leading to our private room. You could tell that they were put in after the house was built to accommodate the private room. They curve and are extremely steep and are very narrow on the curve. We will definitely be going back and trying other rooms out.

The Bourbon Manor was my wife and I 's first stay at a bed and breakfast! and I must say they set the standard quite high! Quiet, peaceful, beautiful grounds. Incredible hospitality shown from the staff. Jojaun their bartender was very warm, and inviting. He created us some 1 of a kind cocktails in their bourbon lounge! Breakfast was some of the best if ever had anywhere in my life. Room was spacious and comfortable. Bardstown in general was incredible, cant wait to come back!

First time ever visiting Bardstown, KY and we will definitely be back to stay at Bourbon Manor B&B! Upon arrival, we were greeted by Jojuan who made us feel welcome and relaxed after our seven hour drive! We found ourselves returning to the “barn” in the evening after our daily excursion just to sip, chat and unwind. Jojuan kept my husband intrigued with his knowledge of bourbon and finally “cracked the tough nut” with two totally unexpected pours that my husband loved! The bed was so comfy and had us not wanting to leave the room but that breakfast was more than enough to get us up and fueled for our day. Todd was there to greet us each morning with a smile, cup of coffee and a delicious warm breakfast! He made sure we had everything we needed along with plans for the day and a dinner spot picked out. We can’t wait to return!

We just returned to Bourbon Manor for another two night stay. We were warmly welcomed by Jojuan and felt immediately at home in the Distiller's Den room. It was beautifully appointed with every creature comfort. Little details like the plush bathrobes, abundant towels, and great shower added to the experience. The breakfasts were simply exquisite. Todd was the consummate host while Tyler sent greetings from the kitchen. I missed seeing Pappy Van Wrinkle but was glad to know he was running on the farm. The new bar building is so attractive. And the location of the property puts us near distilleries, restaurants, downtown, and more. We recommend Bourbon Manor to all our friends who travel the Bourbon Trail. Thank you for another five star visit.

We loved our stay. The breakfasts we had were the best meals we had in all of Bardstown! ||Jojuan at the Bunghole Bar (he also did check in, Bar tending, room issues, etc) was always so welcoming and helpful. We would end each night at the bar. ||We booked our next stay as soon as we checked out. Here's hoping breakfast includes "between the sheets “ at our next visit. ||||We stayed in the honeymoon room and those stairs are no joke. You need to be physically capable for sure. Believe their cautions when booking. We didn't have any issues but the notices on the website are legit.

I originally booked an evening for my boyfriend's birthday as we had a dinner train and wanted to stay overnight as to not have to drive back home. What I thought was just his birthday trip turned into our engagement weekend! Todd and Jojaun worked with him to set up a special surprise in our room after our dinner train. We were then treated to a drink at the bar. The breakfast the next morning was SO good. The team really went above and beyond to ensure everything went well and felt like a special weekend. We stayed in the mint julep room. Very comfortable bed, spacious room!

We came from Texas with a group of seven couples. We were celebrating 65th birthday celebrations and he manager, Jojuan was over the top exceptional! We had to leave early the next morning for a bourbon tasting, and they went out of their way to accommodate our group of 14! With a delicious breakfast and smiling faces before the suggested breakfast time. They were willing to accommodate us with to go boxes, but decided to go ahead and do the full breakfast to make our group happy ! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this B&B For your next trip to Kentucky. The houses were beautiful and perfectly located. The rooms were themed decorated. So cute.

What a great place in the heart of bourbon country. Rooms are nice, breakfast was great but the best feature was the onsite Bourbon bar. After dinner we came back to the bar for cocktails and it was just a great way to wind down at the end of the day.

This is the best B&B in Bardstown Ky! The owners and staff are brilliant. Rooms are beautiful, nice outside patio for cigars and drinks, onsite Barn bar that serves wonderful cocktails handcrafted by Jojuan. If you're thinking about staying here, just do it.

A beautiful and well kept B&B. We enjoyed our stay in the Mint Julep room. Breakfast was fantastic!

A very relaxing and informative time in the bar, and a beautiful room for a good night's sleep. We will come back for a longer stay.

We met friends here for a long weekend getaway and we're really pleased with the rooms, breakfast and great bourbon! Stephanie and her crew are awesome and make you feel right at home. We'll be back!

Have stayed here twice. The service and food are excellent! Todd is an exceptional host. Will book again for next year.

This is our 3rd time staying at Bourbon Manor and it never disappoints! This such an amazing place with incredible breakfast and an outstanding atmosphere. It is perfectly located to make exploring many of the Kentucky distilleries easy. Stephanie, the guest service manager is awesome. Thank you, Todd and Tyler, for always being such great hosts!

We just returned from a wonderful visit at Bourbon Manor. First of all, don't be concerned about the location. Once you enter the gate, you're transported to another time. Stephanie and Todd are the front of the house people, and both are warm and so very helpful with suggestions for the best restaurants and places of interest. Tyler is the chef, and his breakfasts are amazing! After just 3 days, we felt like family and found it sad to leave. Highly recommended!

The Bourbon Manor is less than a mile outside of town and situated at the end of a short road nestled on a piece of property full of trees, greenery and landscaping. The house is gorgeous, the grounds are well maintained and the management is warm and inviting. Stephanie will greet you upon arrival and get you situated and prepare a cocktail if you want one. She's very attentive and a delight. The owners are kind and generous with their time and prepare memorable breakfasts that include 'breakfast dessert'. The Bourbon Manor is a great choice- don't hesitate to book!

I have not stayed in many B&Bs, but this one sure sets the bar high. My husband and I visited for a weekend getaway in March for my birthday. I want to reiterate how accommodating and helpful the owners are. They were more than willing to provide history on the house as well as recommendations for activities and meals. We stayed in the Sweet Old Fashioned room. Our room was relaxing and comfortable. There is something magical about being able to slide your slippers on and walk across the hall to a deliciously prepared breakfast. The breakfast exceeded my expectations. We had the privilege of having breakfast here two separate mornings. We had the option to choose what time we would like to eat. The best part was the "breakfast dessert" each day. Would recommend this B&B without reservation. We have already recommended this hotel to family and hope to visit again soon.

What a great find! This bed and breakfast is in the heart of the bourbon trail and is the perfect place for a quick get away. We were able to stay in the honeymoon suite which was absolutely beautiful!! Breakfast in the morning was served by one of the owners and was delicious! Eggs in a crescent basket, fresh fruit, breakfast potatoes and the absolute best sausage patties. I can't wait to return!

Stephanie is amazing!!! She makes the best old fashioned I have ever had. And I lived in New Orleans for 10 years!!! Not only is she an amazing mixologist but she is a kind hostess and made staying at the Bourbon Manor a highlight of our trip. We wont stay anywhere else

My husband and I just got away for a weekend getaway. Todd and Tyler have a beautiful B&B with so much history. They were busy all weekend but we were treated as if we were the only guests! The owners, Todd and Tyler were very friendly. Todd is extremely knowledgeable about the area and had excellent recommendations on local things to see and do. We were treated to a hearty restaurant quality breakfast every morning. The home home and grounds are well cared for. We stayed in the Master Distiller's Den room. The room had all the essentials and was very cozy with a private entrance. The location is perfect as you're next to the My Old Kentucky Dinner Train, and a short distance to downtown. I can not wait to visit here again!

Historical bed and breakfast in Bardstown. I would have given this B and B 5 stars except for the noise from obnoxious guests and lack of response from management when noise occurred. We stay at B and B's because they are usually peaceful and quiet compared to hotels. Maybe it's Bardstown itself that was the problem with Bourbon Manor. The large number of distilleries in the area and restaurants with Bourbon themed everything seem to encourage heavy drinking. On our second weeknight stay we went to bed early after a lovely hike in Bernheim Forest only to be awakened at 10:15 pm by guests playing the piano and singing loudly in the common room. This is a very old home with thin walls so there is no escaping noise from other guests. I went into the hallway but the guests were obviously drunk so I did not confront them. I have learned the hard way not to attempt to speak rationally with intoxicated people. I looked for the emergency phone number on the front desk which Amanda had shown us when we checked in. I called the number but was only able to leave a message on the machine. I called the main number and left a message on that machine as well. The owners do not live in this B & B but are in a separate home on the property. No response. Eventually at 11:05 pm they stopped playing the piano and singing off key and trudged upstairs to their room where we heard them stomping around for another hour until they stopped thankfully. In the morning the owner was very apologetic about the insensitive guests and not getting our message until the following morning. The breakfasts were excellent each morning. I am not opposed to drinking,in fact we tried some bourbon in the on-site bar "The Bunghole". Perhaps this issue was partly our fault thinking we could have a restful peaceful stay in a town that encourages heavy drinking.

My husband and I stayed there3/24-3/26 on a referral from a friend who lives in Lexington. It was fantastic! Stephanie did a great job checking us in. We stayed in the room with the queen and twin beds. Great for families, but it was just my husband and I. Super small bathroom. Room was very clean and lots of windows. We met Todd and Tyler who were so nice. Stephanie made us an Old Fashioned after we were settled. Fantastic mixologist! In the mornings, Todd was a fantastic server and Tyler's breakfast was incredibly delicious! We were able to charge our Tesla! We already scheduled for October in a different room. It is an A++++ place! Oh yah... Sophia and Pappy are adorable house dogs! Thank you and we'll see you in October!

This is our second time being guests of The Bourbon Manor, and we have also been guest at Maple Hill Manor as well. Both properties are amazing, well kept, civil war era homes. So expect some early wood working with these buildings. We love the history of these homes, the comfort of the beds, and warm welcoming we have received each time we come. Todd and Tyler are amazing host, and we couldn't as for more from them....overly accommodating! Breakfast is always amazingly good, a great way to start the day with a home cooked meal, and you get to choose what time you eat the night before. They have a great bar on site, according to some other reviews, but unfortunately it is closed Monday-Wednesday. That won't stop Tyler or Todd from getting you a cocktail if you desire. From what I gather, they have a great bourbon selection. We highly recommend the Mint Julep room, it is our favorite. We will always choose to be a guest of Bourbon Manor when visiting Bardstown. Thank you Todd and Tyler for another wonderful stay!!! P.S. I wonder if they found the minor redecorating I did...lol

Highly recommend Bourbon Manor Inn. Great experience. Beautiful Inn - so grand; the room was huge, clean, comfortable, nicely decorated. The hosts were excellent, accommodating, welcoming & courteous. They helped plan the stay in Bardstown -- from weeks ahead to during the stay. Enjoyed the Bungehole Bar on premises as well.

Repeat visitor. Breakfast never fails to exceed expectations! Rooms are big and nice. It's an old place so don't expect high end everything. Todd and Tyler run a nice place. If you don't like dogs... well, maybe buck it up as it's worth it.

What a beautiful place! Loved the grounds and the close-proximity (walking distance) to downtown Bardstown. The rooms were very elegant and it really felt like you're stepping back into time (in a good way!) staying here. The breakfast was so good! One of the best Breakfasts we had on our trip!

I don't stay at a lot of B&B's but every now and then, i get a chance to stay at one. Bourbon Manor is super charming and quaint. The innkeeper, Todd, is very pleasant and helpful. For the "Bed" part, my wife and i stayed in the Magnolia Maiden room on the second floor of their Federal House. The room is spacious, and wonderfully appointed with a very comfortable bed, nice sheets, and high quality towels. The house was built in 1810, so my wife was hoping to see a ghost or two. But none were seen. :) The "Breakfast" part was served in the main house, just a few steps away. There's a dining room with half dozen or so tables. Breakfast is freshly made and graciously served by Todd. I am lactose intolerant so Todd made sure that every morning, they make something specifically for me, that I can eat. Thank you Todd!!! Loved the bourbon pancake balls drizzled with chocolate syrup!!! They have 2 dogs, forgot their names, but they are super sweet and friendly. My wife and I really enjoyed staying here and we hope to be back in the area in the future. If we are, we'll definitely be staying here again.

Wonderful B&B. Rooms are unique, well done and comfortable. Historic decor and antiques compliment the setting. Hosts and staff are friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Breakfast was gourmet and a real highlight after a great and fun evening prior. Highly recommend. Worth a trip! Can't wait for our next visit. PS- bar on premises is a a hidden gem. Hundreds of bourbons in stock plus a solid list of signature cocktails add to the experience. Do not miss, a must see.

We enjoyed our overnight stay at this Bourbon inspired B&B. I have stayed at many B&B's over the years and really enjoy the variety and personal touches they tend to offer. Being a historic property in Bardstown, this one had the beauty and charm you would expect. The owners, Todd and Tyler, are courteous hosts. The breakfast was perfect prepared and just the right size to not leave you stuffed yet feeling full. I especially enjoyed the chocolate waffle with bourbon chocolate sauce. A night overnight destination for couples or friends to explore the Bardstown area.

This place is really quaint. The manager, Amanda, left lots to be desired, but the owners are really wonderful.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Bourbon Manor in the Bourbon Smokehouse Cottage in June. We loved the accomodations that were perfect for our short visit. Our furry kids even a fenced-in yard to play in. The breakfast at BourbonMy Manor was outstanding each morning. Craig andI looked forward to it every day. It was a true delight to interact with Todd, one of the hosts, who served those delicious breakfast meals and gladly answered any questions we had. We are definitely thinking about making another trip to Bardstown and staying at this beautiful B&B again. A lovely place indeed.

My husband and I visited the Bourbon Manor for our 1 year anniversary and absolutely loved it! We stayed in the smokehouse cottage and everything about it was so beautiful from the king-sized loft bedroom to the front porch where we had our coffee in the morning! The breakfast was delicious, and the on-site bourbon lounge was a perfect place to end the day. Todd was very friendly and made us feel very welcome! We were sad to leave, but knowing we were traveling to their sister property (Maple Hill Manor) for our next night made it a little better!! Will definitely be back!

Amazing B&B. Highly recommend this establishment if you are in the Bardstown area. The staff were courteous and friendly. The room was amply furnished with a private bath. The breakfast was Amazing. Even had its own bar area where all the guests could meet and mingle. We will be staying here next time we are in town.

My wife and I stayed here on a trip through Bardstown to visit the distilleries as a Father's Day present. What a great weekend! When we arrived we were greeted by our hosts right away and we immediately felt at home. It was more like coming to visit family you hadn't seen in a while. Our room was wonderful. Nicely appointed, clean and crisp. The bed had about a dozen pillows so my wife was in heaven. There is a great little lighted patio where I had intended to smoke a cigar and enjoy a little bourbon, but a sudden lightning storm changed that plan. We will be back again though so next time around I will make good on that. The breakfast the next morning was amazing. Hot, plentiful, and delicious. Everything I could ask. Just a great experience through and through!

I planned a weekend getaway for my husband's birthday and this was the last place that we stayed. We reserved the SmokeHouse and overpaid at $300/night for a project room that has a lot of projects to do. It was an excellent idea but the craftsmanship is for diy for the unexperienced diy-er. The shower handle that turns water on could be detached/reattached for your entertainment. The shotty tile work in the shower and around the fireplace was interesting. The outlets could be found if you searched a few inches into the hole in the drywall. It had a pleasant "smokehouse" smell but the overall impression did not make one to make me want to come back. I would never stay in this room again. I cannot speak to the hospitality as we were not offered breakfast because we left at 8am and breakfast is only served from 8-10.

Came to the Bourbon Manner on a recommendation from a friend who had great things to say. When my wife and I showed up along with another couple, we were appalled to find the condition of their "carefully prepared" room to be in terrible shape. There were bars of soap in the bath tub and the toilet had "definitely" not been flushed. When we confronted the owner about this, his words were "What do you want me to do about it?" He was argumentative about our finding because the maid had told him that the room had been cleaned. Once he was shown the evidence, he still did not utter as much as an apology. Still flabbergasted, we went out that evening and had a great time. Upon our return, the lock in our friend's door jammed and would not allow them to open it. Again, the inn keepers were alerted,who then along with the owner had no luck opening the door. Finally, at approx 1 am a locksmith came and literally sawed the lock out of the door. All of this was occurring (for approx 1 1/2 hours) within 30 to 40 feet of my wife trying to sleep in our bed. Once the door was opened, the owner walked down the stairs and confronted my friend's wife and told her that he could not understand how they could have done this, as it had "never happened before like this." He continued in telling her that he felt they locked it from the inside. Not wanting to have an argument at 1 in the morning, she came back upstairs and finally went to bed (with the door still open and unlocked). Knowing that we all have bad days and that odd things happened, we assumed the next morning at breakfast the owner would come over and apologize to my friend and his wife and would probably say something to my wife and me as well, due to keeping us up all night and running a saw for 20 minutes outside of our room just merely 8 hours before. BUT NO, not one apology was uttered, not one "I'm sorry,".......nothing. It wasn't until my friend approached him about the whole nightmare that we both had, did he show one bit of remorse. We were trying to give this guy the benefit of the doubt knowing that some things are out of control, but to not have the decency to at least say "We're sorry," really made me feel motivated to write this review and recommend him to absolutely nobody. The Manor is a beautiful place in a beautiful town but we will certainly never consider this place EVER again!!

We have stayed here a number of times and it is always outstanding. We have stayed in the honeymoon suite, the cottage, and most recently upstairs in the main house. I liked the main house the best, although the cottage was nice when we had our dog with us because it had a private yard area. There are always beverages and cookies in the dining room. Breakfast is absolutely superb, as is the service. The on-site bar is nice, too. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I loved our stay at Bourbon Manor, and wished we could have stayed longer! Everything was wonderful from the moment we set foot on the property. We immediately felt taken care of by our hosts, and were given helpful dining information for our evening. Our room was beautiful, and the bed was so comfortable! As another reviewer mentioned, the breakfast was amazing, and they took into account my vegetarianism and made me something special for breakfast, which was absolutely delicious. I wish we could have stayed longer, and will definitely be returning the next time we are in the area!

I actually haven't stayed at Bourbon Manor but I am supposed to this weekend. I have tried calling them, emailing them and posting messages on FB for days because I have a few questions prior to my stay. However, no one answers the phone, the voicemail message is automated (doesn't even mention that it's Bourbon Manor) and my email/messages haven't been returned. I am actually concerned that this B&B may no longer be open. Can someone please let me know the best way to reach them?

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The staff were fantastic, the accommodations luxurious. We would gladly visit again. They have a lounge/bar on site that must be experienced; don't let the name fool you. The inside of this lounge is beautiful, with a huge selection of Kentuckys best.

Oct. 21, 2016 will be forever remembered as nightmare at the Bourbon Manor Bed & Breakfast. We didn't even make it to the breakfast! At first, the room seemed adequate. The hostess was below average, not personable at all. Then came the nightmare. This is not a joke and I find no humor in it whatsoever. I had just turned out the bedside lamp and there was just enough light coming through the blind to see the ceiling fan shadow movement when I saw something else also circling (flying) through the air. I quickly went under the covers and told my husband I saw something flying in our room and I though it was a bat. He confirmed there was something flying around and he would get out of bed and investigate. I was too terrified to get out from under the covers. He proceeded to turn on the light and confirmed it was a bat and it was sitting on the smoke detector. Contacting the hostess and owners were of no help in our predicament. The owner was not interested in coming over and taking care of this problem and we found ourselves trying to find somewhere else to stay in the middle of the night. I DO NOT recommend this Bed and Breakfast to anyone!
