Our family recently stayed at the Bennett House B&B--we rented the cottage in the back. It was perfectly sized, had both a kitchen (1st floor) and kitchenette (2nd floor apartment) with enough space for 6 of us to spread out and feel comfortable. The main house seemed very pretty, though I was surprised that the innkeeper and his wife offered... more

The "Bennett House" is top shelf! Immaculate! Richard and Rita (owners of the Bennett House) spoil their customers. You won't find a better bed and breakfast in the state of Kentucky. I returned from watching the Kentucky Derby in Louisville and I stayed one night (Sunday, May 4, 2008) at the "Bennet House" and enjoyed it thoroughly. Best Regards, Dave... more

What a charming old home. We stayed in the private cottage/suite. It was clean, spacious, and had a wonderful whirlpool bath for two. The owners were lovely. They provided an excellent breakfast in the morning and tips to find the best antique peddlers. We will definitely stay there again. more

The Smart's (owners/operators of the property) display a level of hospitality I would not be able to sustain myself, given that they live in such close proximity to their guests. The property is lovingly kept, and is very comfortable for multiday stays, as my wife and I found during a recent visit to our daughter, who attends college in Richmond.... more

The Bennett House is in Richmond Ky. only about 30 min drive down 1-75 from Lexington. It is a beautifully restored old home and the owners are very friendly and helpful. Great alternative to Lexington if you wish. more
