Very cute place! I love that they repurposed the old inn that once stood there and made it an entirely new and wonderful place. We love ecologically responsible companies! The pool was wonderful, the restaurant was great and we loved the drinks! Proximity to town was a huge plus! Clean and spacious rooms with a luxe feel. We will definitely be back!

The was an amazing experience. They did everything right. Yes - they took the bones of an old hotel and gave it new life, and they did a fantastic job. The reception, bars, restaurant and rooms were beautifully done and finding the speak easy was a blast (and super cute too). I wasn't sure what to expect initially, but this hotel exceeded all of my expectations. Highly recommend!

Beautiful hotel. Loved the bars restaurant and especially the pool/spa area. Everything was super clean. The rooms were amazing and the bed was very comfortable.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Nice and clean overall. The property definitely feels more upscale, but it also felt a little out of place for us and isn’t exactly kid-friendly. Some of the corners of the property could use a good cleaning, although the pool was really nice. Our shower backed up, but the room itself was nice and they fixed it once we let them know. The amenity fee on top of the room charge was also a little annoying. I’d say it’s worth the weekday price, but not the weekend price. Don’t get me wrong—it’s a nice property, just not really for us.

Verified review

This is a beautifully renovated property perfect for bourbon lovers! The bar and speakeasy are fantastic as is the restaurant. The one thing to keep in mind is the hotel is not within walking distance of downtown. We were able to schedule taxis after talking to the hotel staff. Definitely a great place to stay in Bardstown!

The Trail Hotel is not A hotel on the bourbon trail, it is THE hotel. Over the past 12 months, my husband and I have made several trips to bourbon country. We've stayed in historic hotels, boutique hotels, and chain hotels. The Trail Hotel is by far the hotel we've enjoyed the most. The facility has been completely rennovated and includes a nice pool, a huge hot tub, a well stocked bar, and fabulous on-site dining. It's conveniently located near many regional attractions. I plan to make The Trail Hotel a regular on future trips to the area.

This hotel is very nice. The staff are awesome, and the dining and bar are excellent. The rooms are comparable to other hotels However, I was a little taken back when we were checking out that they charge $15 per day which they said was for a state tax and amenities. I told them that we did not use any amenities, but they said everyone has to pay the $15 per day. I felt I should have known this before checkout time. If you stay any length of time that could be a considerable amount.
