The Inn is within walking distance of downtown shops and restaurants. The house was built circa 1890. Both rooms feature king size beds, private baths, cable TV and wifi. Full breakfast is included. We have the largest selection of loose tea in the River Region.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We were in Prattville to help a family member. We’ve stayed in many hotels but we wanted something different and less ‘corporate’. Smith-Byrd, with hosts David and Beth, was just what we looked for!
The friendliness, welcoming spirit, and hospitality were top of the line. David and Beth did everything they could to make our stay excellent. The family visit was very stressful (health concerns) and our time at Smith-Byrd was like an oasis we retreated to each evening. They thought of everything, including setting the room clock forward to reflection the daylight savings time change. You don’t get that at the chain hotels.
If you’re tired of the corporate hotel environment, and the packaged breakfast buffets, then book a spot at Smith-Byrd B&B the next time you’re near Prattville.
By the way, even though we didn’t have time to enjoy it, Prattville has a very inviting and unique downtown historic district. Make time for that. We hope to on our next visit.

My husband and I frequent the teahouse often. We love it. We love the homey atmosphere. The selection is great and we have not found better scones anywhere else (including Dublin, Ireland!). My favorite teas are Night of the Iguana Chocolate Chai and Mint Chocolate (yes, both chocolate). The teapots are bottomless and you can try a new tea for each pot, so it's a fantastic deal. They have cute kid size teacups too.

I took my granddaughters and son’s girlfriend here for lunch and tea. We didn’t see the guest rooms so I can’t review them. The girls loved the fancy dishes, silverware, teapots, and sugar cubes. They have the largest menu of teas I have ever seen. The only reason I did not give this place five stars is because of the grounds/yard. I honestly thought this placed was closed by the way it looks on the outside until my coworker told me about it. If they made improvements outside, it would be much more appealing.

Had a good nights sleep and woke up to the smell of bacon. Breakfast was served at 8:30 and we had fresh fruit cup to start and then eggs, grits, bacon and scones. It was delish!! They even had extra bacon if you needed more! They have a nice gift shop. The outside of the house is unkept. They have a nice deck outback but it is nasty and not useable. Just has junk and mildew all over it. The yard has not been kept up either. It needs lots of work. The innkeepers were very nice.

Beth and David were warm and welcoming, without being intrusive. Our room was clean and comfortable. The included breakfast of fresh fruit, hash browns and eggs Benedict was as in a gourmet restaurant. Beth even brought us a pot of delicious herbal tea at bedtime. Highly recommend this place-

A gem to be discovered in Prattville! The good was delicious and the tea was amazing! Everything was perfect! I will say that I had no idea it was a tea house from the front side of the house. It needs a lot of yard work attention.I've driven by there numerous times and just felt like the house was someone's home that was unkept.

The bed and breakfast was very clean and friendly, however, it was a bit too cozy for us. The owners of the B&B actually live in the house, right up the stairs from the room we were in. We felt like we had to be extra quiet and come back to the room before they went to bed so we didn't wake them up. They were very nice, just not our idea of a comfortable weekend vacation.

Everything we have ever eaten here has been delicious, tasted very fresh. Unusual menu items make it better than an average tea room. The owners are very friendly and attentive. They also have a gift shop and overnight accommodations. A beautiful place, it feels like a little bit of history preserved.

I did not stay in a room here so my review is just for the tearoom. The Smith-Byrd house is a beautiful victorian style house built in the late 1800's. They had some of the most gorgeous azalias in full bloom! The room I was seated in had a variety of table settings. All of the tables were covered with white tablecloths and preset with mismatched china, which I loved! Fresh flowers on each table, too. I ordered the Princess tea which included a bottomless pot of tea and a three tiered stand of tea treats. It was $16, which is quite reasonable for the amount of food you receive. For $21 you can order the Queen's tea which includes all of the above plus quiche and a salad. The menu also offered other combinations of salads, quiches, scones, sandwiches and treats. Their tea menu is HUGE! Many , many types of tea and flavors. What is great is you can try another flavor or two since their teapots are "bottomless". I chose peppermint bark for my first pot. The tables had containers of artificial sweetners for the tea as well as sugar cubes. They also offer cream for your tea. The tiered service was brought out and the owner, Beth, explained what everything was. There were 2 types of scones and they include whipped cream and lemon curd. The scones were quite good. The sandwiches offered were chicken salad, a spicy pimento & cheese, a cucumber & cream cheese and a chocolate marscopone cheese and strawberry. The pimento and cheese and the strawberry one were very delicious. Finally,on the top tier were the desserts. There was a cookie of some sort( not my fav), a chocolate orange brownie( very dense and good) and a creme brulee ( very, very good and my fav). The mint was so good that I bought a bag to take home with me. I tried a second flavor, a toffee flavored one. It was good but I just prefered the mint. Theyo have a gift shop with many tea items such as strainers, china cups and saucers, lotions and such. I really enoyed the food and the ambiance of the old house. The owners were very friendly. It was a truly relaxing time! I'll go back the next time I'm in the area~

I spent my honeymoon here and anniversary ..I can't wait to go back! From the incredibly kind keepers and best grits you will ever find to the stroll to church. Simplicity is sometimes hard to find.... not here ... home away from home! Oh and the best nights sleep away from my own bed!
