We stayed at The Family Tree on Sat 23 March. We arrived a little earlier than check in time and were greeted warmly by Charlie who let us take a seat while we had a glass of wine. Lots of choice available (white/rose/red - another lovely member of staff talked us through all the options) and there was plenty of space in the restaurant inside and outside too.Charlie then showed us to our room when we were ready and we had the ‘Sycamore’ - an exceptionally decorated and spacious room equipped with everything you need for a great stay including a very well sized bathroom with luxury toiletries and bath, mini fridge, complimentary sweet treats, teas & coffee facilities, steamer with iron available and a useful guide of nearby attractions, restaurants and facilities which was great help for a pair like us from up North.Although just off a main road, the place oozes tranquility. It’s noise free and felt wonderfully peaceful. The bed was incredibly comfortable and just what you need after exploring the local countryside.Then on to breakfast - we had the sparkling breakfast at 09:30 on Sunday morning. The restaurant was buzzing with families, dogs and couples alike all enjoying the spring sun.Staff took our order and brought out our teas and juices promptly. We started with their cold breakfast - an assortment of meats, cheeses, yogurts, fruit & pastries which were all divine. If that’s not enough, the breakfast also included a hot dish of which we chose the family tree breakfast and vegetarian sausage & halloumi muffin. Both were huge, cooked to perfection and served with our prosecco. We were genuinely stuffed and couldn’t have been happier with the service. It was also great to see such a welcoming attitude to everyone no matter whether you’re a local or from afar.Staff checked to make sure everything was OK and made sure we were well looked after and checking out of our room was easy as pie.There’s also a huge free car park across the road for customers which was great, there’s plenty of bike space for any keen cyclists and a kids play area. It’s also a 2 minute walk away from Whatstandwell train station with frequent services to Matlock, Matlock Bath & Derby which was really useful.Will be back for sure! Thanks for a great stay.

Can’t recommend this place enough! My family stayed here the night before my wedding and I used this as my getting ready place. Charlie and the team couldn’t do enough for us. From having breakfast in the room to us keeping the room when we overran a little. Thank you so much guys!!

We have lived in the village for a long time and have kept mentioning to pop into the family tree. We finally visited today for breakfast and it was beautiful, very friendly and welcoming staff with a beautifully decorated restaurant and outdoor area. We will definitely be back, I wish we had visited sooner.

Highly recommend the function room. The light was amazing and the buffet breakfast we had was amazing. Thank you so much we will definitely be back. The cafe , rooms and service is amazing .Rooms: Luxury, comfortable and spacious. First floor rooms ideal to create your own family suite.Food & drinks: Breakfast and lunch amazing. The cakes are to die for

Me and my husband stayed here recently for our anniversary and I can honestly say that I couldn’t fault anything if I tried!The room was stunning, perfect temperature and had everything we needed! And despite the train track behind the building we didn’t hear anything!The breakfast the following morning was fantastic with so much variety - the almond croissants are a must!A short drive (approximately 10 minutes) and your in the town with everything you need.Every member of the team we came across were helpful, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us! We will 100% be returning!Thank you Team Family Tree!

This place is a gem! Been coming for years!Don’t believe any of the nonsense 1 star reviews from miserable keyboard warrior people who have nothing better to do than complain, but also dont have the guys to ask someone how long their food might be after being told there is a wait. There are clear signs saying please wait and ignorant people still waltz past and complain when the hard working staff have missed them. Because they didnt sit you down in the first place.Think they have just celebrated a big birthday so congrats guys and I will pop in next week.
