    I chose the Family Tree because it is very close to the Crich Tram Museum but there is not much nearby. Shops and a Pub are within a short drive.

    Very welcoming friendly staff, small but comfortable room with a good sized bathroom. We made use of the oudoor seating area for a picnic. Excellent breakfast which was enough to see you through most of the day.

    Not the fault of the hotel at all but we found it a little difficult to find somewhere suitable for dinner in the evening.

    The room was very comfortable and well equipped. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent.

    Ideal location. Had everything we needed. Thoughtful touches made by the owners. Loved the outside space to sit in during the evening. Breakfast was superb with friendly staff. Good food available in their all day cafe. Car park across the road. Handy shop up the hill in Crich. Near to tramway museum and Cromford. Nice walks nearby.

    We loved the Family Tree. The room was spotlessly clean and decorated to a high standard with interesting features and everything you could want for a short stay. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom had a good sixed bath tub. It is well located for exploring places in Derbyshire such as the Tram Village in Crich and not too far from Matlock. The breakfast was simply superb and we have been telling everyone about it.

    We arrived 5.30pm and were expected at 5pm. Rang the bell to no avail but found someone in the cafe who let us in so all was well. Maybe signage on the front door would help. Only a small point this and soon sorted.

    The room and the bathroom were great. All the facilities were well thought out, attractive and practical. The breakfast was absolutely yummy.

    Beautiful rooms in the most stunning location, unbelievably convenient on the A6… but no sound at all from the road. The lovely rooms look out onto a beautiful little courtyard and are so well furnished. Bathrooms are great too with the nicest showers.

    Welcome - Charlie was friendly and escorted us to our room to make sure we were happy. Originality -the room was fully of beautiful bespoke furniture and welcoming touches. Inviting - the bed was extremely comfortable and room romantic. Breakfast - was beautifully presented, fresh and delicious. All the young staff could not have been nicer. Ideally placed for a foray into Matlock and the rest of the Peak District.

    Green ‘emergency exit lighting’ cast a garish glow at night and made the room too light. Could it perhaps be moved to the hallway or have motion sensors instead? Would like a fan in the room, but that’s just a personal preference.

    Lovely, family run property in pretty location in the Peak District. Rooms were in a separate building, away from the main road which was quieter. Lots of parking, and breakfast was excellent. The warm almond croissants… bliss! Rooms were clean with good amenities, I stayed downstairs in the ‘Birch’ room. Very comfortable king-sized bed. Would recommend.

    It’s ever slightly starting to look tired and in need of a refresh. Slow draining shower tray, scuffed paint work etc. Nothing major but for price it needs to not get any more tired.

    Lovely quaint property. I stayed in the Willow room which is an annexe off the courtyard. Very picturesque. Nicely decorated and styles. Bed was comfy. Shower had decent power. The products provided in the bathroom were nice too.
