We had a fun stay at the Jailer's Inn! Location is excellent, breakfast was delicious both days we were there, SUPER comfy bed, and great tour of the jail included in stay! It was very cool - hard to believe the jail was operating til 1987, I think, not so long ago! The room we stayed in was nice, but a little musty. But overall, had everything we needed, was a good experience, would stay here again.
The service was excellent and the owners were friendly. The owner made us feel at home and was a wonderful host that made our stay unique and memorable. The breakfast was also amazing!
The owner was wonderful and lots of stories and funny anecdotes to share. The room decorations and furnishings attempt to capture the history of the jailer, but are a little dated. Breakfast was marvelous, the outdoor pavilion beautiful. There are several restaurants and the shopping district within easy walking distance. I would definitely recommend the Jailers Inn.
Staying in an old time jail! The decor was superb - we thought our room was part of a museum. It was like stepping back in time. The rooms were spacious, the bed (and pillows) were very comfortable.
A fabulous location in the heart of Bardstown meant you could walk everywhere. You could not hear any traffic from inside the rooms.
The breakfast was home made and delicious. A range of breakfast food including fresh juice and fruit. You couldnât ask for more.
After breakfast all guests were given a guided tour of the jail by the very knowledgeable host. Such great stories that came alive in the telling.
Highly recommend staying at the Jailers Inn
It was clean and everyone was so polite and friendly. The only negative was that there was a definite odor from cigarettes permeating into the room. Both my wife and I are allergic to tobacco smoke and there was no mistaking it. The lady at the desk gave us a bottle of room spray which helped a little but we both had stuffed sinuses each morning.
What an awesome B & B!! We had the garden suite and it was adorable. The history of the jail was very interesting and we loved the garden in the back. Breakfast in the garden was so enjoyable. The owner and family were simply so kind and helpful. I would recommend for a stay here!!
Apparently I must have requested to stay in a "cell" At first it seemed like a lark,but it was like being in a basement and very crude. I could put up with that, but because it was an old cell, it had been retrofitted as a room, but I was leary of the shower stall floor opting not to use it as it seemed rough and didn't seem clean. As the night progressed, I became a bit claustrophobic and began worrying about fire hazard. There was no one around and I felt like I was very much alone,
Other than the nightly motion light going brighter when both my husband and I were in bed and no one else was in the room, everything was great!! Possible "visitation" that caused the motion light at the base of the bathroom brighten by itself? Great story to bring back with us. Breakfast offerings were delicious and easy to replicate at home --- thanks for the idea and presentation!! staff were great!!!
