Pillow & Paddock Bed & Breakfast

This was my first stay in a bed and breakfast, and it did not disappoint. LaGrange is a charming little town and only a 20 minute drive from downtown Louisville. Don & Francesca are delightful hosts. A lovely welcome board on the porch greeted us when we arrived, with our names as well as the other weekend guests’ names on it. We stayed in the Gatsby, which was a tastefully decorated room in a (obviously) 1920s theme that also included a spacious double shower. Breakfasts were filling and tasty, with special attention given to my gluten free preference. There was also a special snack waiting both evenings at bedtime. In addition to the provided meals, there was a guest pantry upstairs with soda, coffee, books, games and movies to choose from. The hosts had recommendations for activities and also advice for where I could get a good morning run in with minimal traffic to deal with. They have two super sweet mini Schnauzers to love on as well. This place was a Living Social find and I’m so glad I went… it’s just too bad this lovely place was the beginning of the end for my ex and me… lol.

We wanted to get away for a few days from Chattanooga where we live. Had not been to the Louisville area and did not want to go into the city. What a great find the Pillow and Paddock was. Location was quiet, rooms were great and the breakfasts were superb. We also enjoyed a gourmet dinner prepared by Francesca and her faithful waiter (and husband) Don.
Pillow and Paddock was very clean and the hosts were more than happy to guide us in things to do during the day. We ended up, at their suggestion, going to Churchill Downs and the museum there. It was the first day of the September race card so we were able to take a tour of the stable area and see the start of the race from the far side where there weren’t any people other than the trainers and groomers.
Forgot to mention the front porch was great to sit, relax and read.
All in all this was a great find and would definitely return.

I surprised my wife with a trip to the Pillow & Paddock for her birthday. Not knowing what to expect, but based on positive reviews, I finally clued her in as we approached Louisville. Once we arrived, we knew we were in for a special weekend!
Francesca and her husband were perfect hosts. Starting from the welcome emails I got, with suggestions for activities while we were there, to follow up emails asking if we had any special requests or needs. We stayed in the Gatsby room, which was elegantly furnished, and very peaceful. Next to our room was the community pantry, stocked with drinks, snacks, games, movies, and books if you desired. There were 3 other couples staying in the Inn while we were there, so we got to know them over the course of our weekend at meals and just relaxing around the house. Each room was tastefully decorated and unique, and the grounds were just lovely.
We were treated to a delicious breakfast each morning, complete with coffee and fresh juice. I had responded to Francesca’s email about a dietary restriction, and she made sure to supplement my meals so I wouldnt miss anything. I appreciated the extra attention, eve though I did not require anything special.
Saturday night, we were lucky enough to enjoy dinner at the Paddock as well. Again, dinner was fantastic, and the company was even better. We really enjoyed laughing around the dinner table, and appreciating the laid back atmosphere that the hosts created.
Sunday before we left, we got to spend some time chatting with the Innkeepers about their lives, and I could really see how much they care about each other and their guests. They truly enjoy the business, and meeting new people each week.
If we find ourselves in LaGrange, KY again, or find that we could use a weekend away, the Pillow and Paddock will surely be on our short list.
Thank you for making my wife’s birthday present so much fun!

We went to pillow and paddock for a quick getaway. The food and rooms were fabulous! It was beautiful, quiet and relaxing. It was like being in a much better version of your home! I would highly recommend for a romantic getaway:)
