I love everything about this Bed & Breakfast - the rooms, the hosts, the food, the decor, the bathrooms, the backyard/courtyard, the location, the hospitality, etc. If I had to critique one thing, it would be that the TV's and cable service need to be updated. Larger flat screen TV, and a cable system that has a guide on it... More

My husband and I spent 2 nights in the Grand Victorian Suite, and enjoyed it very much. We came to Louisville with no set plans (other than long baths in the oversize tub for me - a luxury I don't have at home). The Rocking Horse provided just the relaxing get-away we were hoping for, and J&R gave us excellent... More

What an absolutely stunning bed and breakfast! The minute you open the wrought iron gate, into the beautiful garden you are captured by its charm, built in 1888 the Rocking Horse Manor was lovingly restored in 1994 back to the Richardsonian , Romanesque ,Mansion, it once was. Proud owners, make you feel at home immediately starting with a lovely tour... More

We have stayed there twice before and the rooms are amazing. They offer a wine and cheese service which is great to have while getting ready. The owners are very helpful and so very nice and friendly- true southern charm!

I've had the great good fortune to stay at this wonderful example of old world Louisville charm 3 times now and each time enjoyed a restful, comfortable stay. The breakfasts are beautifully laid out and delicious. The hosts are warm and welcoming, and every detail is in place to make your stay a memorable one.

The Rocking Horse bed and breakfast was a great place to return to after a day packed with meetings! Great to get away to a beautiful, historic home with welcoming hosts. Close to historic district as well as downtown hotel where our meeting was.
