We stayed as a stop off to visit Chatsworth House. Lovely and friendly B and B, great service and good breakfast. Fire alarm went off due to low battery, but apart from that everything was great. Thanks

The family tree a beautiful family business

Comfortable Clean & Tidy room, the only thing about the room is that it wasn’t serviced every day. ie bin’s emptied and fresh water for drinks. But a lovely stay. The Breakfast was 10 out of 10, with a choice of serials, fresh fruit and a choice of pastries followed by a full cooked English Breakfast or a choice of a light Breakfast. There was more to choose on the menu. highly recommend

Verified traveller

Stayed for 2 nights. Very convenient for train station. No food orders after 3.30 pm so went to a local curry restaurant by car. Room was okay. But lacked any surface to put your bags. Comfortable bed but not enough ventilation in the bathroom so it smelt damp. Had the fan on as much as poss. Internet good. Breakfast was okay. But found the staff not very friendly except one gent who was great. Parking convenient.

A lovely B&B in a beautiful part of the country.

The Family Tree is a lovely B&B in a beautiful part of the country. The room was clean, quiet and had everything that we could need and the breakfast was delicious. We only had one issue during our stay, relating to the heating in the room. This was dealt with swiftly by the management. Would definitely recommend staying here.
