Verified traveler

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.

Weekend break

The rooms are in a converted cottage and have been nicely decorated and furnished. The building is old so you cannot escape the uneven floors/doors/windows etc whilst that gives a charm it is also brings a slight inconvenience in that the window could not be opened to allow for fresh air. Not a huge problem this time of year but would be so when warmer weather arrives. Room has a well stocked mini bar/snacks operated on an honesty basis. The goods were very reasonably priced and welcome in the evening as nothing else is available onsite. The staff were helpful,friendly and hardworking. The food was excellent with terrific choice at breakfast and represented very good value for money. There is no evening food available and it is remote from nearest pub/town centre so you need to plan. Bathroom is modern clean and spacious. Only minor annoyance is a very poor tv/phone signal-but not a spoiler on a short break.

Very clean, smoke-free, very welcoming, kind and generous staff. Excellent, quality food and plenty of it. Comfortable room. Excellent breakfasts with good choice, and restaurant also open to the public from 9am. All table service. Only one negative: Premises closes at 5pm for the night, so no evening meals or bar. No alternative eating houses close by.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We arrived to an infestation of ladybirds which was dealt with quickly however they did return they left us peppermint and was told to use it if needed. This is an ongoing problem so really needs to be sorted as its not down to the guests to be . Dusty bedside lights and artificial plants plus debris left in the bath and a ladybird in the toilet. The door trim on the door has been badly put on and the door is very stiff to open. The tables and chairs outside wre dirty and did not get cleared for hours. No heating the second night or morning and it was frosty so not ideal the manager did offer a 1 night stay refund for the issues. Road very nousy in the mornings so if you are a light sleeper this will lead to disturbed sleep. Breakfast very good
