Kentucky Bed and Breakfast

Apologies for falling off the radar for a couple of days but we found ourselves in deepest darkest Kentucky. In fairness it was pretty well connected for wireless etc it is just that we had such a packed programme that we didn't have a minute to blog.

So anyway, I wasn't really sure what to expect from a B&B in rural Kentucky but it certainly wasn't this! There aren't really many good reasons to visit Somerset, Kentucky - (afterall it is at least 1 hour from anywhere, it has a population of about 11,000, is best known for building the finest houseboats in the world (not a big demand in Sheffield?), is, despite being in the home of bourbon whiskey, a dry county and is the very buckle of the bible belt (and believe me that phrase cannot be adequately explained in words, I thought I knew, but it needs to be seen (and heard) to be believed!!....but if you ever do have one this is the place to stay. Check out the website by clicking on the image left...and enjoy, y'all!
