Dogwood Manor

Alabama


This quaint bed and breakfast is well priced for what you get: access to a house that is quite elegantly appointed, more modern country home than antiques roadshow. The owner loves to set out a proper English tea service, and the grounds are well-manicured and full of blooming – wait for it – dogwood trees.
