Nice place. Wish I had more time to visit.

The Kentucky Dinner Train was hard to get reservations but worth the trip.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Fun spot for a weekend. Several distillers are closed on Sunday, so plan ahead. Same for the museums. But there was still a lot to do

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Bardstown is called the most beautiful small town in America. With the season’s first snow blanketing everything, it did not disappoint. Also an excellent location to visit the Bourbon Trail.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Love the town. Very quaint and friendly. Our tour at Heaven Hill distillery was just a few blocks away.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Quaint little village, homey, friendly. The town shuts down on Sunday by 5pm so look for alternate dining arrangements
