Admiral Bicknell Inn Bed & Breakfest

Our time spent at the admiral bicknell inn was magical. The historic house is amazing, the host Melissa was kind and thoughtful, the pool was beautiful and refreshing, and the grounds are surprisingly large in such a convenient in town setting. If you are staying in new Albany, I highly recommend this wonderful place!

We were two couples looking for a fun overnight getaway from Cincinnati. Valla Ann welcomed us graciously with house instructions, suggested dining opportunities in town, then left us to explore on our own. The house and furnishings are fascinating; our rooms were huge and quite comfortable; breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Its location provides easy access to the greenway along the river across from Louisville. If you have time, ask Valla Ann for stories about the house and/​or her exploits. She’s quite a story-​teller!

Geeze… I was pointing out that breakfast was misspelled and completely over looked the fact that my own grammar was off. Valla Ann, please forgive me I truly meant sweetheart because you are indeed. We celebrated our anniversary there and it was a memorable experience. (Feeling very embarrassed)

We booked this trip for our anniversary and had high expectations due to the reviews we found. When we arrived the madame, valla, told us where there were snacks and movies and then showed us to our room. Then we did not see her again until the next morning. We were disappointed that there was no working fireplace but the room was gorgeous and huge! We relaxed a bit and walked around to shops. All of them were closed because apparently everything besides restaurants shuts down at 2 or 3pm. The restaurant selection was pretty good but there were no healthy options and every where we went was very pricey. When we went back we decided to try to take a relaxing bath in the big tub, but there was no hot water! On top of that the B&B is on the main drag so it was pretty noisey all night. The building is very old, so it was also pretty cold. We felt like we had to be very quiet and that we had to stay in our room. It was just not inviting at all. The breakfast the next morning was cold and strange, with partially raw eggs in an ingredient concotion that was anything but appetizing. We will not be back. That atmosphere was great but a giant room with no ammenities is not worth the price.
