Jailer's Inn

the stay was great room very nice. the only thing that disappointed us was the toilet seat kept coming apart. The manager came and fixed it but just didn't stay fixed the owner very nice and made us feel at home. I am bad with names think his name Ralph. Very knowledgeable about his inn and Bardstown. the food was good. We plan on coming back maybe in the fall. Overall GREAT EXPERIENCE. Will recommend to our friends.

Excellent location, not the most comfortable. Breakfast at 9:00 so plan accordingly we had booked bourbon tours at that time. Be prepared Victorian suite doesn't have a door on the bathroom just around the corner were earplugs . Jail tour was interesting

Paul’s hospitality was outstanding! I was there for two nights. The location was great and the staff was helpful and kind. Loved the breakfast as well! If you like local history and do not mind spending the night in a former jail, this is a good place for you.

The Jailer's Inn was fine. Our room was clean and well thought out. The bed was too soft, but that may be a personal preference. The bathroom in the Nautical Suite needs a new toilet seat and aerator in the sink. It could use hooks as there is no place to hang used towels. Though we didn’t use it, there was only one robe. When we arrived it was about 7:15. We were greeted by an older woman who though took us to our room and gave us the rules, offered us a rudimentary discussion about breakfast. When we told her we needed to be at the golf course for 8:00, she said breakfast was at nine and we could perhaps make it to breakfast the second day of our stay. She took us to the room, showed us the keys, and directed us to a coffee maker that we could use. There was a refrigerator. So why we couldn’t be provided with real creamer was a puzzle. We also noticed that the other room in the “annex” had welcoming chocolates. We received no such welcome. We did join the host for breakfast the next day. We stood in the front hall for quite a while not knowing where breakfast was to be held. Finally, Paul appeared, welcomed us and realizing we had no clue took us to breakfast. It was 55 degrees and breakfast was served outside! Paul turned on a patio heater for me, but it was insufficient. I was very uncomfortable. Breakfast was made and served by Paul. It was very good. Paul was welcoming and gave us a history of the Inn as we dined. It was obvious to us that the other “Inmates” already had become more intimate with Paul, his staff, and the property because they had stayed in the main house. After, Paul gave all of us a tour of the Jail and more history. It is a quirky B&B and I want to love it, but the owners need to find a way to include the people not staying in the main house. Perhaps, a binder with the days itinerary, places to eat, things to do in Bardstown. It would have been lovely to be welcomed at least with a cookie and some tea or even an offering of bourbon. I mean come on now. Bardstown is The Bourbon Capital of the World.

Excellent experience! The rooms were warm, private, and comfortable. Easy walk to lots of restaurants and shopping. The owner, Paul, was so welcoming and hospitable and even sat with us at breakfast. Take a tour of the jail, even if you don't stay at the B&B. The history is fascinating.

What a fun place. How many people can say they spent a night in jail. We rented 4 rooms and the family is still talking about the quaint town and Jailer's Inn. If you are doing the "Bourbon Trail", we recommend staying here. Very nice outdoor space for breakfast which was delicious.
