This Inn is a beautiful, nostalgic escape from the hectic world we live in today. From the moment you drive up to the grand entrance to the moment you enter your well appointed room, you know you are about to enjoy a time forgotten filled with hospitality, much needed slower pace and relaxation. This Inn is filled with history and charm. The adjoining restaurant and pub serve delicious food and drinks in a moody, wonderful atmosphere. Enjoy the daily breakfast listening to tunes from another time , sit outside on one of the many bench swings or take a walk past antebellum houses in the adjacent streets. Such a treasure for a weekend getaway! read more

Beaumont Inn - The charming, historic, Beaumont Inn - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Harrodsburg, Kentucky

We loved our stay here and would do it again. It's a really pretty place. The main building makes you feel fancy and it's nice that you can explore inside at your own leisure. read more

Stayed here about 17 years ago and we were eager to return. The Inn is still very much a reflection of Old South gentility. The furniture and ambiance take you back in time. Room was comfortable. Only negative was a bit of a musty smell which we got used to after awhile. Breakfast in the restaurant was good, but not at the level I was expecting for an inn of this stature. Price was reasonable. read more

We drove 75 minutes each way today to attend the Friday buffet at the Beaumont Inn in Harrodsburg Ky. I would give everything about the experience 5 stars except for the food. The Beaumont Inn itself is very interesting and the service was excellent but the food was mediocre thus the 3 stars. read more

We had the pleasure of staying at Beaumont Inn this past weekend. It's absolutely full of charm and steeped in history. What a gem hidden away in Harrodsburg which is also the oldest town in kentucky. The food and bourbon were delectable. The antiques through out the Inn were so intriguing. Everyone we meet was friendly and accommodating. It definitely took me back to a quite and simpler time which was very welcomed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the inn and would recommend it to others especially if you enjoy bourbon! We had the privilege to have a private tasting with Dixon and he let us try some exceptional bourbons. But to top it off we had a generous pour of Kentucky Owl Batch 9. Absolutely a great tasting and experience We then had dinner in the main dining room of Beaumont Inn it was delicious and brought a taste of childhood memories like only southern cooking can. We started with the charcuterie board which had some of their famous 2 year old cured country ham. We of course had to have the fried green tomatoes. I had the classic Beaumont Inn dinner which has their "Yellow Legged" fried chicken atop of more ham! Completed with their signature corn pudding and green beans. Then as if that wasn't enough I had the General Lee Orange Lemon cake A la mode. Delicious! Oh then I needed a coffee with kahlua and baileys they happily obliged and added whipped cream. Southern hospitality at its best! Included in your room stay is delicious breakfast made to order! I had eggs over easy cooked perfectly I might add! With a side of biscuits and gravy (almost as good as my Mamaw's) and delicious corn meal batter cakes so sweet and hit the spot after a night of bourbon! It was a perfect way to end our visit! Until next time Beaumont Inn! read more

A historic landmark, this former women's college turned inn is a hidden gem of the bourbon trail. The Dedman family have run it for generations. The antique bedrooms, sloping staircases, and period portraits are like staying in a living museum, with a great place to eat, the Owl Tavern, and a cool craft bar, the Owl's nest. Their breakfast, eggs plus two items, is complimentary and served in the original dining room. The two-year dry cured ham is something wonderful to try. This is also ground zero for Kentucky Owl fans. Dixon Dedman revived his family's pre-Prohibition brand, and it's become one of the best selling craft whiskies in the world! He did it right here in the tasting rooms where you can meet him and talk bourbons and ryes. A great place to stay, especially if you're on the bourbon trail! read more

Delicious southern inspired cuisine. Best fried chicken and ribs we've ever eaten. Desserts are all homemade. Must try the banana cake and bread pudding read more

My family and I were guests at the Beaumont Inn when we were recently in town for a wedding. The Inn was one of the nicer places to stay in the area and a great fit for some of the older members of the family who wanted to be close to the wedding venue. From the moment you walk into the front doors you feel as if you are stepping back in time. The main house feels more like a museum. The furniture, curtains, art, and other decorations date back to the 19th and 20th century. While I didn't want to sit on any of the old pieces in fear of accidentally breaking something, It was an interesting space to look around and discover some unique pieces of their collection. The inn use to be a girls school and has changed uses over the years. The current owners do a wonderful job celebrating the building and land's history while still operating a functional space. As for our stay, the rooms were very comfortable, clean, and well taken care of. Some of us stayed in the main building and another group of us were in the newer building across. Both were easy to move around in and we had no issues. The staff were all very friendly and there are porters on site until 9 or 10 in the evening in case you need assistance. There weren't elevators in the building we stayed in and a couple of flights of stairs. We didn't mind, but something to keep in mind. The main building does have an elevator, but it is not large. There is a computer and printer for guests to use in the main building. We wanted to print our plane tickets for our return trip home, but couldn't get it to work.c We ate in the main dining room for both breakfast and a dinner. The food was delicious and the service extremely friendly. The cocktail list was impressive and many of them packed a punch! There is at least one other restaurant (maybe two) that also provide lunch and dinner options. None of the dining options are open on Sunday so be prepared to eat off site that day if you are staying into the week. Although it was quite warm when we stayed the pool was closed. It is closed starting Labor Day so just know that before bringing your bathing suit. There is also a small gift shop with local goods from the area that made perfect souvenirs! Inn guests receive 15% off total purchase when you show your room key. read more

Outstanding historical hotel. Extremely well maintained. We stayed in the main house, and the quality of the original construction and the maintenance efforts are obvious and intentional. Our room was extremely comfortable, well appointed and in the style of an upscale, old school plantation house. The downstairs has beautiful sitting rooms, a wide planked and comfortable front porch and beautiful fixtures. The Owl's Nest restaurant on-site had very good food. Staff were extremely friendly, and the grounds are beautiful. I mean gorgeous! The Beaumont Inn is located in the oldest town in Kentucky, Harrodsburg, which is pretty much the awesomest historical down town I've ever seen. Having just come from Franklin, TN, that's a major compliment. The surrounding neighborhood is filled with beautifully maintained historic homes. I loved staying here--I felt like I was in a southern dream. Beaumont Inn gets the highest accolades I can give and ranks among my favorite places stayed to date. if you can, go here. You will absolutely enjoy yourself........ read more

The Beaumont Inn is a feeling, a memory, a place in time. When I walk in my mind decompresses, nostalgia kicks in and my stress goes down. I think it's the way the place smells. It reminds me of walking into my Grandma's house 30 years ago. I feel bad for the folks writing negative reviews of this place. I don't think they can understand what it's all about. They don't understand what it is to relax and soak in the atmosphere, the history and the quiet calmness. They don't understand how to enjoy sitting on the front porch and watch people walk by, wonder why they're here, say hello and ask why, look at the old trees, think about the people who lived here a hundred years ago, watch the sun go down. I don't care that the knobs are a little loose on some things, that the floor creaks everywhere, that I can hear a toilet flush in another room, that the caulk on the tub is a little dated and needs to be replaced, that the restaurant closed at 9:00. Seriously? That's what makes this place feel like I'm staying with family, at my granny's house. I wake up expecting to smell bacon and coffee. Then I go get me some! Everytime I walk into the Inn I notice something new that I didn't notice before. I always appreciate where I am and the fact that this place still exists and that the Dedmans are committed to making it available to me. This place is a rare experience. If you come with simple expectations and simple needs you'll be very happy and very relaxed. Just enjoy the setting, the surroundings, the nostalgia, the history, the rarity. It's really a sensory experience. This place is for people who view the world with their heart, guts, emotions, memories, empathy, etc. It's not for the self absorbed, hyper-analytical, hyper-critical, over-opinionated, social media obsessed types who want to focus on "amenities". Get over yourselves. Apologies for seeming so sappy and overly emotional about this. But, it's been a rough year and a half, and my recent stay at the Beaumont Inn, after several years since my last visit, brought back a flood of memories and good feelings and reminded me that there are still calm, friendly places tucked away in the corners of a mean, angry world. If you understand what I'm trying to say here then you'll understand and appreciate what the Beaumont Inn offers. If you don't then I hope, for your sake, you'll be able to one day. read more

Great inn full of charm and history. A great place to stay for checking out bourbon distilleries - not too far from Lexington, Frankfort and Louisville. Breakfast included with room. Must try the corn meal batter cakes. So good. We have stayed here twice now and love it. We always enjoy walking to Downtown Harrodsburg, about a mile away. Lots of quaint, historic homes in area. Also make sure to check out the Old Owl Tavern. Great place to unwind after a long day. Good food and drinks, including (of course) a huge selection of bourbons. Highly recommend the Beaumont Inn. read more

Ham is rancid and tastes like gasoline (inedible). Fried chicken is delicious and so are the whipped potatoes and gravy. BUT you have to get the HAM with it, and no bread or rolls available. CRAZY This used to be the best place to eat in central KY. read more

Talk about hospitality - Beaumont Inn has an abundance of it! Beautifully period maintained Inn, well kept grounds and delicious food, with an included breakfast. Try the hot brown- so tasty! Be sure to visit Nathan in the Nest for a drink and spirited conversation. Our evening there was so fun we came back to the Nest the following evening. We highly recommend a Tasting With Dixon. That tasting gave us the perfect introduction to bourbon for our next day tours. The tasting is informative, casual and full of great background stories. We enjoyed our bourbon tours but this tasting was a trip highlight. read more

Beaumont Inn - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Harrodsburg, Kentucky

Went there on a Friday and they were having a lunch buffet (every Friday it's a buffet I'm told) But the food choices were just fair, my coffee was lukewarm and same went for the meal. Our server was extremely slow and inattentive, and they do not serve the country ham on the buffet, only the chicken and meatloaf the day we were there. It is a historic place to visit and interesting to just see but Won't be returning there anytime soon to eat. read more

Stopped by here and had a quick bite to eat while out driving around enjoying the country views. The restaurant, staff, and ambience were perfect. The food was a solid 5 out of 10. My wife the classic Beaumont dinner and the fried chicken tasted as if it was bought at Kroger. The country ham had a nice smoke but the salt level was intense. My son had the burger and he did enjoy that. I had the special, it was country fried steak. I ordered fries and a side salad to go with it. The country fried steak was exactly what you get in a bag at Walmart with a white gravy and I already eaten before my fries came to the table. It seemed as everyone there knew each other and were talking about the new school year. You felt like you were immersed in the community and I really wish the food was better because this would have been a really good restaurant. I will go back again to see if it was just a flawed dinner but for now it's a three out of five. read more

I stayed here several years ago. The room was beautiful, but may be haunted........ The food was fantastic. Get the cheese grits. Don't forget to spend some time at the lounge.... you might see a few haints! read more

we had our 50 th wedding anniversary party . They set up the room to our liking , did exactly what we wanted and bent over to do what we needed It was fabulous. I can not say enough about staff and management. They were fantastic. read more

We rented a room for a small party for dinner. The food was excellent, the service was great and the surroundings were lovely. Great evening

This is a review for the hotel and their breakfast. If you are a lover of history, then this place has plenty of it. I went to school in a Civil War-era high school and the architecture of the inn was similar. They've gone to great lengths to obtain antique furniture and decor. The doors also seem to be original (just a warning: they are heavy and noisy, so if there are late-night guests, you will hear them). Our bed was REALLY high, to the point I had to literally jump into it, but it was quite comfortable. And our room was well-sized, with a parlor-like area. The breakfasts are delicious, especially the corn cakes. I could have eaten a million of them. They are made to order, so unfortunately you cannot grab them and take them back to the room. The wait staff is very attentive, although some of them are rather rigid (bringing food back to the room was a major ordeal for some reason). The pool area was quiet and clean. Parking was a bit of a mess, but there's enough space for everyone if you look for it. If you're looking for a Four Seasons, this is probably not the place to go. But if you're looking for a quiet hotel with a lot of character, I recommend the Beaumont Inn. read more

My wife and I were vacationing in the area, staying at a different location, and stumbled across the Friday lunch buffet here. Although we didn't have reservations (which are recommended, because they were fairly busy), the hostess was able to find us a table. All the buffet selections were hot, fresh, and delicious traditional Southern staples. (A big plus for this Southerner marooned in the culinary wasteland of Ohio.) The fried chicken, corn casserole, and bread pudding were some of our favorites. Service was attentive if a little stiff, but the price was very reasonable and the atmosphere was very homey and relaxing. read more

Took me a while to write this review as I have been mulling over how to convey the oddities of this place. I REALLY wanted to like this place. Stayed at the Beaumont Inn to experience something different than the first time we came to Kentucky for our barrel selection at a distillery and to visit a few other places in the area over a long weekend at the beginning of this month. Our group (my husband and two of our very good friends) chose the Inn because of the historical setting, on-site restaurants and taverns, and the pool. We chose a room in the main building and our friends were across the street. Pulled in to the small parking lot right by the hotel at a bit before 930 p.m. and jumped out of the car to find 1. a giant pile of puke on the ground at our feet, 2. an empty pool - as in, it was DRAINED FOR THE WEEKEND due to some issue, and 3. the tavern we could see from outside WAS ALREADY CLOSING for the night. We went inside to check in and discovered the pool would not be open at all for the weekend (remember, this is one reason we chose this darn place) and there would be a band playing on the grounds that Saturday. Super crappy about the pool, but we thought it would be fine as there were other things to do on the grounds - allegedly, like maybe the two bars would stay open later when it was actually the weekend. Guess what? More on that later. Next, we were shown around by the most confused and beaten down porter ever who told us first of all that it was late and he just wanted to go home. Great. We just wanted to go swimming or have a drink after our long drive. Anyway, we ended up learning from the confused person that the SECOND tavern on site was not open any longer either. Awesome. What time is it? What year is it? Fine to be a historical site, but can anything stay open past 9:30? This meant we had no dinner for the evening and the people seemed to not care or realize weary travellers might want to have these options available to them. Us two couples decided to make the best of it with what we had, luckily we stopped for a couple of snacks on the way to the Inn and saw each other's rooms. Well, the front desk person did have to let us back into our place because we were locked out after going across the street at 10:30 in the evening. We didn't have a key to any exterior doors, only our room. That's fine - it's more B&B than a hotel. Makes sense. The next day, we had a great breakfast at the inn and headed out on our way. Got back and we were still bummed about not being able to go swimming because it was really hot and was supposed to be one of the amenities we PAID for, but the front desk just shooed me away when I asked whether it would be repaired before the end of our stay - this was the first time I asked. At least we finally got to eat at the Old Owl Tavern on Friday night. It was good and the prices were very decent. Decided to head up to the other tavern as it looked like they were starting to close up, only to discover that the smaller and more intimate tavern was closing up 30 minutes before their posted 10 pm closing time. Wha? Seriously? Friday night and it closes at 10 is a little nuts anyway, but we were staying at the Inn and still couldn't purchase a drink there after 9:30 at night. Sucks to get turned away again for a "nightcap". The next day was Saturday and we headed out again to visit some other places an hour or so from the Inn only to return to NO PARKING in their tiny side lot or anywhere else as the band decided to play in the shade on the front porch of the Inn. Okay... one tiny lot was for Inn/Tavern parking, but it's now a weekend in June and you have people parking all up and down the street and everywhere. There needed to be more parking for people PAYING TO STAY AT THE INN. We had a lot of stuff that needed to go into our rooms and had to park down the street and haul it back to the Inn AND COULDN'T GO IN THE FRONT DOOR BECAUSE IT WAS BLOCKED. (Look, I must tell you that I love brass bands and I adore the whole idea of this place and the old-timey sentiments, but it's just too much when it gets in the way of running a successful business.) We then RAN to the tavern to get something to drink before they closed at dusk again. Saturday was our last night and I must say that I don't miss the place. The food was decent and the rooms seemed clean, but don't spend the money (it's definitely overpriced) to stay here when the staff closes up early, doesn't care when one feature you paid for is closed (the woman at the front desk seriously just shrugged when I asked if anything would be done about our room costs due to the lack of a pool), and doesn't seem to realize that properties are selected for their amenities - especially when it comes to wanting to just relax/stay put, drink some bourbon, and not risk getting a drunk driving ticket. read more

Price was a little high for frozen to table food. However the staff was very helpful and friendly. They could use a good chef and the price would be perfect read more

We give the Beaumont INN itself a 4-5 star.................but the "Included" breakfast a paltry two star. FRESH cooked eggs are good (they are freshly made)............the "buffet" of fresh fruit OK (if you hit it right)................the sides are absolutely marginal at best. REHEATED (from who knows when) and service just a two star. In a vintage inn.........one only expects very attentive and very friendly and very capable service. We loved the INN itself. Just what you would think you are getting. But a reheated 2 star breakfast needs to be rethought...............WHAT can you serve that will be FRESH....really fresh..........and really appealing. Realizing you have probably served this for decades to a very CAPTIVE audience........time to be honest about what this all really tastes like. Suggest the owners attend for a random morning and see for yourself. Found it disappointing. read more

I just spent relaxing and restorative 2 nights at the Beaumont Inn along with 11 coworkers and their families for a company-family event. We had a king room in the Greystone building that was very spacious and beautifully decorated - with a fantastic double shower and giant 4 poster bed. I would highly recommend this room for anyone able to take the stairs to the second floor and get into the very tall bed. I found the mattress excellent and the pillows to be very good - synthetic, but that is my preference and I was glad they had a king size pillow as I had forgotten my side pillow. We had a thermostat in the room and the air conditioning was heavenly. Some of our folks in the main building mentioned their rooms did not have a thermostat and that the rooms were too cool - a better problem on a hot July weekend than too hot though and they said they were able to manage. Breakfast was excellent, though ending a little early for the weekend - 9:30, but we managed and with the very hot weather, it was better to get an early start on the day. The buffet had crispy bacon, sausage, biscuits, sausage gravy, breakfast potatoes, oat meal, yogurt and very good fruit - honeydew, cantalope and pineapple. After being seated you can order eggs as you like them and delicious corncakes. The park-like grounds of the property are lovely. Large statelyshade trees, gardens and walking paths with inviting swings and chairs scattered in picturesque locations. The large swimming pool was the amenity of the weekend as the 'heat dome' moved in the day we arrived. There were plenty of lounge chairs, and tables with umbrellas and chairs. We only wished it stayed open past 8 pm as the still, humid air did not cool down much as evening set in. Many of us had an enjoyable lunch on Saturday in the Old Owl Tavern with the Chicken Toughers being the most popular dish. The yellow legged chicken and corn pudding that the inn is famous for, receiving a James Beard award, were very good too. The staff in all departments were exceptional. We had a last minute room change request, and Marsha, at the front desk persisted until she was able to work out a solution for us. April, who seemed to be everywhere, breakfast, the Tavern and the gift shop, was super friendly and helpful as well as efficient. Truelly, everyone was helpful and friendly. As entertainment for the different age ranges in our group, I created a photo scavenger hunt based on the outside of the Inn and we had loads of fun snapping funny photos of the pig statue around back, and many other items on my list. There is plenty of history here too that I included into the hunt to give our folks a sense of why this place is special. The inn is just a half mile to the historic main street and the walk past many other lovely historic homes was enjoyable. We visited the old Dedman Drug Store / Kentucky Fudge Company for our Friday night dinner. It only has counter service, but the atmosphere and food is great. The meatloaf burger was raved over, as well as the roast beef with horseradish over mashed potatoes. There is a bar in the back with a good beer and cocktail selection. And there were great folks working here too. We brought our bicycles and had a pleasant ride around Harrodsburg, though I will warn that the Inn is on top of a hill, so the return trip in the heat can be a bit taxing. It would be nice ifat the Inn had a few bikes for guests to borrow. Best of all, my husband mentioned repeatedly how much he like the Beaumont Inn and he would like for just the two of us to come back again for a weekend. We were told that Christmas is a nice time to visit Harrodsburg, so maybe then. I highly recommend the Beaumont if visiting a quiet, pretty historical little town with an elegant and peaceful inn with friendly folks everywhere you go is your idea of a great getaway weekend. The Fort and Shaker Village nearby are interesting local attractions too. Enjoy! read more

Beautiful historical place. Should you wish to step back in time. This would be it. They have three restaurants and three buildings within the area of the Original Beaumont One kitchen supplies all three restaurants. Very formal, elegant & historical set dining areas. Very pleasant atmosphere. Proper attire required. Rooms have antique heavy wood four poster beds. Elegant bathrooms make you feel special. Mirrors everywhere add to the room's attraction. There are several sitting room areas, where you can relax with tea or coffee in stone ware cups, versus your the usual paper cups in most hotels. These rooms boast very comfortable & antique furnishings. Allows an area unique in its presence, that reading or quiet discussions could be a joyful experience. Books are available near their shop to borrow, swap or do your own book reviews. The local newspaper is available of a morning. Most bedrooms also boast fireplaces, although only a few actually have inserts. The place is, however centrally heated. There are many older trees on the land surrounding this Inn, and they have signs with the names of some of the oldest specimens. These homes are of historical significance & the area of the neighborhood also offers information on plaques outside some of these homes with information on time built and a few facts about each. read more

We enjoyed our 2 night stay. Very nice historic Hotel, which is different from what we are use to. The pool was nice, clean, large, and very enjoyable for our large group that attend in July of 2016. The breakfast wasn't really up to par for us. Not many options on the food bar. Overall a nice quiet place for a couple days stay. read more

Very quaint place to stay. The lady who checked us in was sweet and gave us a tour. The breakfast was good and corn meal pancakes yummy. Being from CA I have never tried them. I must say I would have them again. The fire flies at night were amazing to see. All in all our stay was amazing however the morning staff who served breakfast were not too friendly to us and the only reason I gave the four stars. read more

The rooms are beautiful and the staff very friendly. The whole vibe of being in the family home of wealthy Kentuckians with the generations of all their antiques is intense, the lush opulence and living history of it all is impressive. DO NOT EAT DINNER THERE. I've heard that at one time it was wonderful family-style homemade fare but what we had was bagged salad and slaw, thin defrosted catfish, cheap bottled 'Thai chili' sauce (syrup and red dye #5) on the seared tuna...I heard the fried chicken was good tho. If you do eat there, have the chicken livers but have them pan fried. read more

This has to be the coolest place to go grab a great drink and some awesome food in Harrodsburg. I love the owls nest. It is located upstairs from the Old Owl Tavern restaurant and it's very cozy. However the nest is only open from Wed thru Sat. The staff is Super Friendly and my bartender remembered me after my second visit. I haven't meet an unfriendly person at the bar. In fact the 2 time I have been served at the bar I usually wind up spending hours their talking and laughing with others at the bar and with the bartenders. I love this place and they have an awesome atmosphere! I can't wait go back and visit. Oh and it half off drinks and apps from 4pm to 6pm. Enjoy! read more

Excellent place & the service was great . Our server Ann was superb! Her attention to detail was wonderful. We have booked another visit for Labor Day weekend. read more

My husband surprised me with a trip to the Beaumont Inn for our anniversary this year. When we arrived I had no idea what we were doing. He walked me through the side door (just off the parking lot) and I had tears in my eyes at the beauty of this house and the antiques displayed. It was truly like going back in time. We were several hours early before check in and the front desk offered to make us reservations at the restaurant on site for lunch. We were personally escorted over and we're seated immediately. The food was amazing. It was a lunch buffet and everything homemade. I'm talking fried chicken, lasagna, cornbread. It was amazing. I think it cost us around $12 per person for lunch. Excellent price for what we had to choose from and for the quality we received. We toured the inn while waiting on our room. While touring we were told our room was ready. We were escorted to our vehicle with intension of helping get our bags. Our reservation was just down the road at the Greystone. The employee was going to follow us to the Greystone to help us to our rooms. The Greystone is a stunning mansion. It only houses 4 rooms. Our room was impeccable. Every detail was beautiful. We had a 2 person jacuzzi tub and a California king bed. There was a vanity for me to get ready while plenty of room for my husband to dress in the bathroom too. Huge suite. He requested chocolate dipped strawberries and blankets and all were there when we arrived. The blankets weren't just tossed on the bed, they put them away in the armoire to keep the room crisp and clean. We had reservations for dinner so we decided to dress up and go to dinner, then take a stroll on the beautiful grounds. After we got back we laid out blankets and turned on the fireplace (electric) and enjoy an evening cuddling. When we went to bed we vowed to one day own a mattress exactly like that one. It was like sleeping on a dream! Before we left we made sure to reserve a room for next year too. It was the best weekend I've ever spent with my husband. We get so caught up in the chaos of work and kids that we forget about our relationship. This weekend was our way of nurturing our relationship and it was perfect. It felt like a fairy tale. read more

This was one our our favorite places we ever stayed. Great atmosphere and a great breakfast. The tavern had great food and a very well stocked bar read more

This is such a cute hotel. The rooms are extremely well kept, breakfast is included, and the grounds are pristine. There isn't a whole lot of action in the area, but if you are looking to get away and relax this is a great spot. The staff was very accommodating for my friends wedding party and guests. The price was also not bad for a higher end option. If I ever make it back down to this area of Kentucky I would not hesitate to stay here again. read more

The Beaumont Inn is well worth the drive. The setting is beautiful, the facility is charming and the staff are very warm. We had a large family group for a dinner and it was wonderful. We had a private room and were allowed to stay until we were ready to go well past the time the restaurant closed. The food was delicious and we appreciated the service and hospitality. read more

What a gem we found in this place! It still looks like I imagine it would in the 60's and much of the clientele look like this is their little hideaway for all those many years. I'm quite sure we were the youngest guests there (in our 40's). It is still run the old fashioned way with actual keys, hand written paper receipts, an old gated elevator which was way cool, and employees that take pride in what they do. The Owl Tavern had really good food and good service so we didn't try any of the other other choices, other than breakfast on our last day. We loved the first night in the big home so much that we decided to move to the actual inn the next night and extend our stay rather than driving on. So glad this place had vacancy. We loved every exquisite detail. But we are into antiques, history, and stuff like that. read more

We loved the charm of this historic inn and the staff and food were wonderful. We would consider coming back again except for one thing. The beds were horrible. Bottom line for us, if you cannot sleep comfortably and awaken feeling rested, it is not a good choice for a vacation or getaway. We were on the 3rd floor of the main house. Enjoyed the Owl Tavern and the dining room on the premises. Love the history. Just....those beds. read more

A sprawling inn complete with rooms in several buildings, two bar/lounges and a restaurant. A great place for families to gather, because there are many spacious common areas in the main house where everyone can sit together. Check in was friently and fast. The rooms, as in most inns, are different sizes, and ours was cozy and just fine (bronze), although the bathroom was so small, the door could not be completely opened, as it hit the toilet. But no problem -- the bed was comfy, there was certainly enough room in the room itself (the closet is tiny), and most importantly, the blinds and curtains make the room quite dark, which is perfect for sleeping. You can hear some noise from the hall and adjoining room, but not much. Was it overpriced for the room? Yes, but not exorbitantly so. The restaurant is OK. Service was pretty good. The corn pudding is mostly pudding and not much corn. The fried chicken is yummy, as is the bread pudding. The bleu cheese dressing tastes like mayonnaise with bleu cheese crumbles stirred in, but the 1000 Island dressing was quite good. Prices for the dinner menu seem reasonable, but the Sunday buffet is wildly overpriced at $18.95. Sure, it's a nice spread, but at that price you probably would expect something a little more exceptional that what is standard brunch buffet fare. Overall, it was a nice place to stay, although a little expensive. Nice grounds, too, with shuffleboard. There is really not much to do in Harrodsburg, but the nearby town of Danville is quite charming, and Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill is a nice day trip only a few miles away. There are distilleries in the surrounding area which can be toured. read more

I've been going to Beaumont Inn for as long as I can remember with my family-it's a cozy country style eating atmosphere that is in a beautiful historic hotel. We actually went for Thanksgiving this year-they were patient with our large party and loud little cousins :) The fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans-I've had basically most things there and it's so good! We we need a good place to go to we venture out of Danville and go to Harrodsburg to the Beaumont Inn. It's so beautiful there that driving by and seeing the land is well worth it! read more

Beautiful setting and delicious food in the heart of Central Kentucky! Spending time at Beaumont Inn is an experience you won't forget.

What a unique and friendly place to relax. Beautiful setting in late April, comfortable rooms, history abounds! Great meal at the Owl's nest next door and a fine breakfast each morning. We'll be back! read more
