Enjoyed our overnight stay in the Library room. Husband had a paranormal visit during the night. Someone or something awaken him by raising his arm. Paul was a great host and the tour of the jail rooms were both historical and fun. More

While most of the rooms have been turned into something even the most particular overnight gust might enjoy, visitors can also stay in a jail cell. Breakfast, in clement weather, is served outdoors in the back curt which is surrounded by the same... More

Located in downtown Bardstown, Jailer's Inn is in a central location for touring the BourbonTrail. Paul and Dixie were great hosts. The Inn is unique with an interesting history. Our room was very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the bourbon flight ( but not the food ) at the Talbott Tavern. Paul and Dixie recommended Circa Restaurant which is located... More

Very pleasant owner, but this B&B was the worst we've ever stayed in -- creepy dark rooms with barely any windows (I should have expected that as it's an old jail) and very poor quality breakfast, with hardly any effort thrown into it. More

Stayed here for one night in the family suite and it was fantastic. Great location and easy walk around town. Plenty of room for the kids. Breakfast was Devine and eaten in the courtyard with the other guests which was lovely. Hospitality was fantastic. More

Just spent two nights in the jail cell room and loved it. This really is a jail cell, don't think it isn't! The accomodations are very authentic as far as the bathroom goes, it is a toilet and prison shower that has a wall for a bit of privacy. If you are modest about bathroom functions, this is not the...

This is one of the most unique B&B's I've been to. There are iron bars on the windows, the walls are 30 inch thick limestone and the history is amazing. The cell space has been transformed into attractive rooms (The Garden Room, The Victorian Room, and the Colonial Room to mention a few). And a night in the Jail Cell... More

Concur with other reviews regarding location. B&B is next to Old Talbot Tavern where we enjoyed two very good dinners. Shops nearby were fun to browse. Bardstown visit was very enjoyable, incl. My Old Ky Home and Heaven Hill tour. Innkeeper, Paul, was very helpful and fun to talk with. Stayed in Colonial Room and loved the atmosphere. Stuffed French... More
