Outstanding B&B in Bourbon Country
This is an outstanding B&B. Beautifully decorated and furnished, it is an ideal location for spending time in Bourbon country. Service is outstanding -- Bjorn was a wonderful and welcoming host. The guest pantry is a great gathering spot, and the property features both well-appointed indoor and outdoor lounging spots. The farm animals on the property are very friendly -- a great couples' spot, but I could see families enjoying this place too (although perhaps not very young children).

My New Kentucky Home!
Amazing stay at the Pillow & Paddock! Every touch & need- even before you think it- is taken care of. The rooms are all beautiful & comfortable. We had the best sleep on super comfy mattresses. Breakfast was prepared & served on lovely china and made fresh. Each evening we enjoyed either the front wrap around porch playing cribbage or boggle from their game collection or on the back porch watching the fire flies & listening to their 2 horses whinny & nay. Its family run & hospitality is in their DNA! We cant wait to return! Thanks so much Michelle-- cant wait to visit you again! Until then, stop in & see us when in Cali.

Can't say enough good things about it!!
Superb venue! We had an astounding two-night stay! Outside, the site is amidst gorgeous horse farms, and inside it is modern, warmly furnished, immaculately clean, supplied with all amenities, and hosted by the most gracious hostess/owner, Francesca. The table and atmosphere she sets for breakfast are best-in-class. The food is scrumptious and beautifully presented. Francesca is adorable and so fun to chat with. This won't be the last time we shall visit!

It was our first b&b and I have to say I will never be fully satisfied with a hotel again! The hosts were wonderful and our room was amazing, comfy and beautifully decorated. The full breakfasts were well prepared and very filling as well as tasty. The town is historic and has lots of local shops with a great variety. We will be staying here again in the future.

Great Louisville, KY B&B!
Situated about 20 mlies north of Louisville, ky. Very nicely appointed modern country style home with 4 guest rooms, guest lounge, free drinks and touches like candy and cookies in the rooms make a great impression. The Parisian room had a euro flare as did the decor in the dining area. Queen bed was comfortable and shower perfect. Old fashioned claw tub made for a relaxing bubble bath. Breakfast was a fine start to the day. We really liked little Zeke, the owner's Schnauzer pup. Yes, we'd stay again and are looking forward to the next trip. (Follow us at www.heartlandxplor.com)

Upon arrival, absolutely amazing! The house is beautiful and felt like home as soon as you walk in. Warm greeting and wonderful introduction of rooms and meeting areas. Reminded me of when I would visit my grandmothers home when I was little so it was quite moving to be there. I definitely will be telling family and friends about this beautiful location.

Our hosts were very gracious and accommodating. The home, bedroom, and associated bathroom were gorgeously appointed and comforable. Due to our schedule we were unable to partake of their breakfast but it looked wonderful. They allowed us to get our "doggie fix" by spending time with their schnauzer Zeke, who is a wonderful ambassador.

An area Gem!
My daughter and I were paying college visits to UofL and UofK and needed a quiet and comfortable place to rest up after completing Day1 of college visits up north in the Cincy area. This establishment is one of the nicest and most comfortable places I have ever stayed in all my travels...and my travels include 5☆ chains in Dubai. You will not be disappointed at all. Don & Francesca are truly hidden gems in the world of travel. Enjoy!

A Slice Of Heaven
Wow! What an exquisite experience! I have stayed in various places inside and outside the U.S. This was exceptional and very, very reasonably priced, as I thought I would explore a place close to home for a change. It began with a warm welcome from the owners, extending all the way to the farewell, concluding with an amazing breakfast highlighting the best ever berry scones! Immediately upon check-in I took a long decadent bubble bath in a very spacious tub and bathroom, relaxing to a most luxurious bed with the finest linens. (There are some high end places I would not even think about using the tub) Every detail highlighted the owners' commitment to leaving no stone unturned in making sure that every aspect of the stay was of the highest quality. Don't know how they did it, but they even managed to provide a beautiful rainbow overlooking the countryside during the stay. (See pictures) Now that's what I call exceptional!!

1st B&B Experience
I travel 20-30 times a year. This was my first B&B experience. It was far and away the best experience I've had while staying overnight on a trip. The couple that run the B&B were so friendly and accommodating that I felt like I was staying with friends from college while visiting them from out of town.

Perfection at Pillow and Paddock
I booked Pillow and Paddock for a business trip and was weary because it was about 20 minutes away from where I was doing most of my work. By the end, I wouldn't have cared if it was an hour away! Traveling the amount that I do can take its toll on anyone; P&P owners Francesca and Don made me feel like I was at a home away from home. I felt welcomed, and most importantly, safe each time I pulled into the driveway.

Welcoming place of relaxation
Pillow and Paddock was a beautiful place to come to. The setting invited us to simply rest, and and enjoy the pleasant, clean, and welcoming atomosphere. The room itself was charming in decor and very comfortable. The extra touch of a guest's "pantry" offered snacks, coffee, water and soda available at any time of the day or night and was appreciated . DVD s, magazines and board games were also available . Breakfast was delicious and the table setting was gorgeous . Our hosts made us feel welcome -

Beautiful location and excellent service
My boyfriend and I traveled to La Grange to visit family and we stayed here since the other hotels in town seemed grungy based on other traveler's reviews. The Pillow and Paddock came up with a 5 star rating which is why we booked it. I can see why they have 5 stars, Don and Francesca are simply wonderful. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcomed. Breakfast was a real treat, with homemade pop tarts (turnovers) and stimulating conversation. Next time we are back in town, we will definitely be staying, and hopefully have more time to enjoy the beautiful grounds that the BnB sits on.
