4.4 out of 5Great getaway in Bardstown
June 12, 2013
My husband & I did a weekend getaway touring some distilleries and dining out. The Red Rose Inn was the perfect place to stay! Our room was extremely comfortable and had all the amenities you could think of including comfy soft robes, flat screen TV, plus books and a magnifying mirror. But the best thing about the Red Rose Inn are the breakfasts. They were the best ever!

We visited several Bourbon Distilleries on a Saturday and wanted a quiet, but close to downtown Bardstown stay. The Red Rose Inn fit the bill nicely. The owner gave a dinner recommendation to The Rickhouse and it was great! The breakfast was over the top, with numerous courses and dishes.

Located in downtown Bardstown it is perfectly situated for venturing out to enjoy the Bourbon Trail. Breakfast was amazing, with fresh fruit, delicious pastries, and superb entrees. I highly recommend this B&B

2.6 out of 5Tired B&B on a busy, noisy street
May 20, 2013
While the stay was fine and the bed comfortable, I would not recommend this B&B. It is for sale, and the whole property needed a good dose of TLC. Everything was just tired, particularly the common areas. The bathroom in our room had a sink far too small (and there was adequate room for something larger) and a shower that looked like something out of a basement remodel. We had the Magnolia Room. It faced the street, which was a main drag through town and loud and busy at all hours. There were also bring street lights directly in front of the house and no way to draw any shades on the windows, so it was bright all night. The food, was very good, thank goodness and the inn keeper friendly. The place is for sale and with some updating could be a decent place.

Very nice B&B. Was there for a weekend getaway. Couldn't ask for a better location. Parking situation could have been better. Breakfast was fabulous.
4.0 out of 5Wonderful B&B!
May 15, 2013
We had a wonderful time on our two night stay at the Red Rose Inn. The room was spacious and comfortable, complete with the rustic charm of uneven flooring - which I mean in a positive way, but don't expect a shiny new house, this is a renovated 1800's property and it meets with the charm that should come with that. We stayed in the Garden room (the yellow one) and the bed was comfortable, we had plenty of space and the water pressure in the shower was just fine. The breakfasts. Oh my goodness. The first day there was pineapple upside down cake, scrumptious sausages sauteed with onions, sausage cups with scrambled eggs and zuccini and potato cakes and everything was out of this world delicious. The second day there was chocolate banana nut bread, apple german pancake and bacon, and it was all delicious as well. Fresh fruit and coffee as well both days. The food is all gourmet and fresh and if you haven't eaten it, you need to! There are two adorable King Charles Spaniels that live there - if you don't like dogs (you're crazy) and that is something to keep in mind. They are very sweet and we loved them. All in all a wonderful stay at a lovely establishment. We would definitely stay again!

This was a clean and quaint little B&B. The owner was very friendly and the breakfast was wonderful. Within walking distance to plenty of places to eat dinner and a few local pubs. I would stay here again for sure!
