The Most Romantic Place to Stay in Kentucky
The Sweet Old Fashioned is a bourbon cocktail created in the late 1800s and is a favorite.

This perfect combination is also found in the Sweet Old Fashioned Suite, pictured above. As one of our most spacious guestrooms, it’s both elegant and luxurious and the best place to relax at our Bardstown Bed and Breakfast after exploring our charming small town.
