Accommodations were great, excellent location and staff was very friendly. The food at the restaurant was good and we really enjoyed the breakfast provided! Would definitely stay here for our next visit.
The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend staying here if you are planning to visit the area.
Quaint, quiet, simple, historical charm. Great sitting room with a fireplace and checkerboard. Bar and restaurant on premises. We never even walked downtown !
Loved the History. Feels more like a bed and breakfast. Oldest tavern in the state. Food was very good. Breakfast is from a menu for those that stay there. Lots of shops and dining options within waking distance.
Good, clean room adjacent to the Talbott Tavern. Complementary made to order breakfast was served each morning. Our room also had a nice jetted tub for two with complimentary coffee, water, refrigerator and microwave. Who could ask more? Even the mattress was perfect!
We loved this hotel, staying in a place with so much history was exciting.

Just an overnighter but we lucked into the Jesse James room! Comes with its own museum about James’s time in Bardstown. Our room was nicely updated and we’re pretty sure (at least my wife was) Jesse’s ghost was rattling our door after midnight! Nice restaurant and bar all inside the inn, which was a good thing on a rainy day.

The Staff, Owner(s) and ability to Relax. The restaurant (dinner) was very well prepared, served and your salads/bowls are the Best!!
Thank You All at the Historic Talbott Inn!!👍
Respectfully,
Jeff and Deborah from the “haunted” Daniel Boone Room #5. See you soon…
Beautiful spacious room. Quiet location and fun little town. Can’t say enough great things about the hotel. The free breakfast was nothing to write home about. Much better choices within walking distance of the inn and worth paying the extra price.
Friendly helpful staff, spotless room, comfortable bed. We stayed in the Lincoln room near the balcony and it was so cool. Close to the road so there is street noise but we were able to sleep well. Excellent singer in the bar the restaurant had a varied menu with some local specialties. Recommend the fried green tomatoes and shepherds pie! Loved staying in such a historic building.
