Pepper, a well-known bourbon distiller in the area whose name is now on 1776 Bourbon. This classic, sweet drink is made by dissolving sugar in bitters, and then adding Bourbon and a twist of lemon – best served with ice.

This is our third romantic getaway at Bourbon Manor, the Kentucky Bed and Breakfast that never disappoints. The home itself is gorgeous— and the room is very comfortable (the sheets are amazing). The staff is so kind and accommodating, and makes outstanding breakfasts! There are no other places to stay in Bardstown, maybe even all of Kentucky that even come close. We wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else on our next couples getaway and can’t wait to return to the Hotty Toddy room next year.
Southern Love

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our romantic getaway to this Bardstown Bed and Breakfast! The room was clean and very comfortable. The property around the manor is gorgeous and it creates a very relaxing environment for couples. The staff at the Bourbon Manor B&B is so helpful! After breakfast was complete, Todd asked if we needed any suggestions for things to do during the day. He was so knowledgeable and helpful in giving us ideas of places we might like to visit and recommendations of places to have dinner in Bardstown and beyond. Breakfast was one of our favorite parts of staying there! Both my husband and I have food allergies. They did an incredible job of not only accommodating our allergies but also making exceptional food that we enjoyed eating! Neither of us felt that we were missing out on what the others were eating. When looking for places to stay in Bardstown, Kentucky, I would highly recommend staying at the Bourbon Manor B&B.

Rediscover romance in the Manhattan Honeymoon Hideaway at Bardstown Kentucky’s Bourbon Manor.

PLEASE NOTE: This Guestroom is located on the second floor. To access the room, guests must go up a rather steep, narrow, winding stairway. Please be advised to bring smaller luggage and not have issues with stairs. These steps may not be suitable for some, so please choose accordingly.

Another great romantic getaway to the Bourbon Manor Bed & Breakfast in Bardstown, KY. We've made it a tradition each year for our anniversary. We stayed in the B&B’s romantic Manhattan Honeymoon Hideaway this time which is a couple's delight. The room has a private entrance, a personal parking spot by the door, and lots of space that includes a fireplace. The king-size bed was nice and firm and it even had an eating area with a mini fridge, table/chairs, coffee maker and microwave. For couples who might have trouble with stairs, I would not recommend this room because it does have a very steep and narrow staircase going up, but that wasn't an issue for us. This has been our favorite room at the B&B so far. The TV was a good size (at least 50", smart tv with cable and access to Netflix, etc.). Breakfast was awesome each morning, as the food was delicious and the service was excellent. Speaking of food, be absolutely sure to make it a point to eat dinner at the Rickhouse in Bardstown (I suggest steak, 11 cheese mac & cheese, and asparagus). Overall, this was another perfect getaway for us and we are already making plans to come back to Bardstown next year for another stay at this wonderful Kentucky B&B.

My husband and I have stayed at this Kentucky Bed and Breakfast twice now. We really like it. The owners are great and very responsive when you need something. They have great recommendations on what to do in Bardstown. We've stayed in two different rooms at this B&B and both were great and clean. My favorite was the second room which is perfect for couples. We got to stay in the Master Distiller's Den room. It was gorgeous. The king-size bed is very comfortable and you get a lot of space to just lounge. There's a fridge and a microwave and you have your own entrance directly to your room. Definitely recommended to stay if you're doing a romantic getaway to the Bourbon Trail!

Todd is a fabulous host and I highly recommend Bourbon Manor.

Being my first time at a Bed and Breakfast I will say that I was not disappointed. Todd and Tyler did a wonderful job making our romantic getaway special. They take care of all details and are second to none in making you feel at home in Bardstown, KY. From welcoming you to an amazing breakfast and always asking how they can help plan your day.

In closing, we came to this B&B as guests and we left feeling like family.

This was our first B&B getaway experience and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. The owner, Todd goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect and is super helpful in planning your trip and scheduling activities and dining excursions in Bardstown and beyond while you’re visiting Kentucky, the Bourbon Capital of The World. His partner Tyler is an absolute culinary genius as his breakfast menu would rival the ranks of the most seasoned chefs. The house and encompassing grounds are very welcoming and well-kept. The on-property bar “The Bunghole Lounge” is a great place to socialize with other guests and have a drink or two from their very extensive and well-priced bourbon menu. We absolutely loved our romantic getaway here and can’t wait to stay at this wonderful Bardstown Bed and Breakfast again.
